One Thing I Want To Know

One thing I want to know is...why on earth am I having this tingling, spasm sensation in my left arm?!? It feels so weird. It starts at the tip of my fingers sometimes and sometimes it starts at the elbow and work its way up to my neck and tightens. It so scary. Dr. Ibrahim is trying really hard to figure out what it is. He has had me in for a series of testing. Yesterday I spent most of the day and night at MDA.

This morning I went for results. From looking at the results he still say that my treatments are working and there was nothing new that showed up on the scans and treatments can stay the same. However, when I went in for the initial visit because of the tingling, he scheduled me for a CT scan that same week. From those results he did see a spot that showed up on my neck area. He doesn't know if it's new or if it's something I already had because they don't have a scan to compare it to since they didn't do a CT scan on the neck area in the beginning stages. He wants to rule out cancer related before he refers me to another doctor to diagnose the tingling problem, so he ordered blood work today to see what the tumor markers read. If it's high then they will biopsy the spot, if not they will just keep an eye on it and then refer me to another doctor for the tingling. Hope all this make sense to you all. Love you! Keep praying for me and I will keep you posted.
