And now for something different...

This post doesn’t really have anything to do with fostering, but it does have something to do with my life and health. And I use this blog as a way to express my thoughts and feelings about life. Mostly, my life centers around P and Baby C, but I’ve had something else on my mind for almost a year now, and perhaps if I share this story, others can give me some direction, learn from my experience, or sympathize/emphasize with this crazy health situation. I would also like to preface this post by saying there’s a lot of personal stuff in here that the fellas, in particular, may not want to read. Ladies, you’ll be fine, but unless you’re an open minded dude you might wanna sit this one out. Either way, here goes…

I’ve talked before about my infertility and the issues I’ve had with my lady parts. Basically, I’ve been told there’s no eggs in the basket and even if there is, they’re old and chances are, won’t make a baby. Boo. Anyway, this diagnosis creates another issue for me and that, my friends, is early menopause. I’m freakin 35 years old, so that’s a lot to digest. I’m 5 years into this diagnosis too, as I was told when I was just 30 years old. Since then, I have gone through hell in the female department. Without actually being pregnant, going through labor, and giving birth, as far as I’m concerned, I’ve served my sentence in the hellacious female issue department. My periods were so bad I sent myself right into anemia. I felt weak and useless. Pale and gross. Aunt Flow set up shop in my body and would stay for MONTHS. Bitch. I lost complete faith in my body and was always frustrated and…well….sad. It was a constant reminder of what my body couldn’t and wouldn’t do- reproduce. All I was producing was anger…and a lot of tears…and ya know, grossness.

So..in December 2016, I started getting a harsh, sharp pain in my left side. It took my breath away. It was so bad, it hurt to stand up, walk or sit for periods of time. I lived with a steady flow of Ibuprofen and my heating pad constantly at my side. I went to the chiropractor. I went to an urgent care clinic. This was right before Christmas, and our first Christmas with P as our adopted son, so I was determined, even though I felt like garbage, to make it a magical Christmas. But my body didn’t go for it. I remember baking Christmas cookies with P and wanting to just cry because of the pain. I finally went to my family doctor, who ran a slew of tests, XRays, and a CT Scan of my abdomen. It was concluded I had an ovarian cyst and some “concerning lymph nodes,” that could be reactive from the cyst. They referred me to my OBGYN and wished me luck.

Not seeing this as an urgent situation, two weeks later, still in pain, I go to the lady doctor, who does an ultrasound and decides “Nope, that cyst is too small and couldn’t cause this pain or those lymph nodes” and referred me back to my family doctor. She put in an IUD (worst freaking pain ever) and said that would take care of the early menopause crap (Why she hadn’t done this years ago, I’ll never know but yes, indeed, it helped!) Anyway, Christmas came and went, and my pain actually got more tolerable. Result of the IUD? Who knows. I think it was actually resting and not doing much over the holidays.

In January, after another CT Scan (#2) and blood work, I went back to my family doctor, who told me a story about her aunt having uterine cancer. Uhhhh, why was she telling me this???? With the cyst, the location of the lymph nodes, the early menopause issues, the infertility stuff, and the pain, she thought it was all uterine related and recommended a complete hysterectomy. She thought it was all GYN problem related and again, referred me BACK to my OBGYN, who again, said no, and referred me to a surgeon to do a biopsy of the lymph nodes. During this ordeal, as you know, we got the call for Baby C, and suddenly I had a newborn to take care of. My pain in my side was gone, but I was still feeling like crap most the time. Sleeplessness from a newborn? Perhaps? Or something else? So, in February, I went to the surgeon, who looked at my blood work and scans and said, “Nope, you’re fine. They’re reactive lymph nodes to lady problems, and they’ll probably clear up with time. Plus, your pain is gone, and the IUD is working, so that’s all well and good!” I was relieved and thought that was the end of it, even though I continued to feel sick and tired. I chalked it all up to having a newborn and being stressed with all foster parenting involves, and continued forward.

BUT…by March, I could barely stay awake during the day. I was sweating like crazy and was running a constant fever. I went back to my family doctor and literally cried and said, “Please figure out what is wrong with me! I’ve got two kids to take care of!" She, again, ran more tests, and another CT Scan (#3). Turns out, I had Mono. I was so grateful! I had a diagnosis! No more cancer, no more scary thoughts! This was all mono! No hysterectomy! Yes, I felt like absolute crap, but at least I knew what it was now! I struggled to finish the school year, with a newborn, a toddler, and mono. But, I was thanking God I had lunch and a plan period back to back, and my boss was ok with me taking naps in my car when I didn’t have students. I controlled the fever with Tylenol and ibuprofen, discovered a love of iced coffee and shots of espresso, and took frequent naps when I could.

By July, the mono symptoms were subsiding and I went back for a check up with my family doctor. Confident that these lymph nodes had gone away with the mono, I agreed to yet another round of tests and another CT Scan. (If you’re keeping track, this is Scan #4. Pretty soon, I might be radioactive.) Once again, it showed those concerning lymph nodes in my abdomen. Still there! My blood work was a bit funky too. And my doctor was super concerned again. She wanted a definitive diagnosis. So did I! Ugh. So, she referred me to an oncologist. I was scared just hearing the word. Oncology is cancer! Do I have cancer? Are we back to this?

A month later, again, in no hurry, not seeing any urgency in any of this, I went to the oncologist. He ordered more blood work and a CT Scan of my neck and chest. He told me he wanted to see if those concerning lymph nodes were also in other parts of my body. Plus, he said, doing a biopsy of the nodes in my abdomen would be impossible without a big surgery, and it’s much easier to biopsy lymph nodes of the neck. So, off to CT Scan #5. The results came back about a week later and my family doctor called me this time with the news. She told me “Be prepared, you might be sick, Jess.” Apparently my neck was filled with “concerning” lymph nodes, just like the ones in my abdomen. I asked if it could all be mono related and she said it wasn’t likely because the mono should’ve cleared up by then. So..back to the oncologist I go a few weeks later. He told me the same thing as my family doctor, and referred me to an ear, nose, and throat doctor to get his opinion on doing a biopsy of my neck. It’s September by this time, guys.

So, last week, I went to the ENT, who wasn’t even there. I saw his nurse practitioner, who told me that he’d talk to the doctor and get back to me on what we’d do next. I literally spent $40 copay to have him tell me he’d have to wait and talk to the doctor. Seriously. This week, a receptionist from the ENT doctor’s office called me and told me that that the actual doctor “cannot take your case right now. He thinks it is too ‘complex’ and since he only works a few days every other week, he feels you should see someone else, so they can devote more time to your case.” So, I was dumped by my local ENT. And guess what guys? There’s no other ENTs in this area!! So, I’m going to have to be referred to another ENT 1.5-2 hours away from my home. This is absolutely ridiculous.

It’s almost October and I STILL don’t have an answer. I STILL have “concerning” lymph nodes all over my body and I STILL don’t know what’s causing them! I STILL feel like crap most days, but better than I did in the depths of mono. I honestly haven’t felt like myself since November of last year. We’re going on almost ONE YEAR of this crap and I still have no answers. I’m certainly hopeful it’s NOT cancer or anything very serious that’s growing or multiplying inside me, because all of this back and forth bureaucratic doctor BS is making my head spin. I’m now waiting for this new ENT to call me with an appointment, to hopefully do the biopsy of my neck, and to hopefully, finally get a definitive diagnosis! Is this why people, who finally get a diagnosis, are already at their death bed? Or at Stage 4 Cancer? Is this really how health care in this country works? Or am I just choosing the wrong people? I certainly don’t feel like I’m dying and definitely have high hopes it’s nothing too serious, but still. It worries me my family doctor is concerned. When does this end?

In other news, I’m still reeling from last week’s incredible disappointment. I’ve been hugging and kissing my littles a lot more the last two weeks, especially Baby C, who I fear, our time together is short. It’ll all make sense in the end, I know. And I’m hoping the same goes for my health. The court system and the health care system are two things that I’m incredibly frustrated with right now, but I’m hoping and praying, it all makes sense soon. And big hugs and a very heartfelt thank you to everyone who has sent good thoughts, prayers, love, support, and alcoholic beverages my way. You guys make me smile!

Until next time, Mama Jess
