I had another test today - an MRI. A few weeks ago I discovered a lump near my urethra while prepping for an exam. I have surgery scheduled for August 10th and it shouldn't be a big deal. They are going to do some other diagnostic tests at the same time - a two for one. I still have another pre-op ultrasound later this week.
Tomorrow I have a second CT scan of my lungs. A normal check-up in some senses, but I have been having trouble with a raspy voice of late. This is the test I want to have the least - not wanting them to find something wrong.
And then there's the abdominal pain I've had since the pancreatitis. It still lingers, though a slew of blood tests all came back normal. I guess this can wait until after the surgery and lung questions are dealt with.
This is all becoming very real to me and I am scared. Sometimes I feel like I am falling apart, other times I feel like this is just another blip in my life. I've overcome so much to get to where I am, what's one more thing? I don't want to die - not yet.
