Hi, I went in to the e.r. last night because after my fall the pain wasn't going away and I found out I have quote Several enlarged aortic lymph nodes endquote. I find out what the plan is tomorrow as far as biopsy, surgical removal or whatnot. This would be my third time around with cancer and I am not worried for me. I am just hoping my family pulls together because I am not going to be able to do what I could and am going to need lots of rest to get better. I hope this is a blessing in disguise, I am already seeing some initiative when I don't do things, I just know how overwhelming everything is when I have to do it alone so I worry about my brother, my Dad agreed to see a psychiatrist today (bipolar 1 but for the last 9 years his primary care doc has been giving him his prescriptions) He lays around and does next to nothing so hopefully they can help, anyway, not technically chronic pain but it is an illness and I am in pain so thought I would update you all.

Thanks, dear one, for the update. I'm sad you're having to go through this. You give us all good advice by saying you're "taking things one day at a time." You can't help what your health problems are, so it's not your fault how your family responds. Maybe someone else can step up to the plate if need be.

well good news, my cancer is not back. The ER doctor didn't compare the CT to previous CTs so apparently those nodes have been large for over a year, but not enough to worry about. My biggest concern right now is my back hurts so bad and I need to get things done and no one can seem to get organized and do it. I am sure it is the depression also but I want so badly to shut down and am fighting against it, just wish others would too. If I can somehow make myself care even though I am depressed, I don't understand why I can't get some action. ik probably will be another wasted day, maybe tomorrow will be better. Jan 31st the landlord wants to make a walkthrough and I want the house super clean and organized by then. Anyway, hopefully this back thing will get better soon.
