Thank you and Good News - Osteoporosis Message Board

Thank you kind souls for your thoughts and prayers! I am in awe at this wonderful community that I am so fortunate to be a part of. I have received some good and puzzling news--The 3cm x 1cm mass (not small-that is about an inch long ) found in my neck about 10 days ago during a routine thyroid u/s is apparently gone. The ct scan with contrast dye 5 days after the u/s showed no mass-but of course I wasn't told that at the time. The ct scan was from jaw to upper chest. Several days later when I went for the u/s guided biopsy - the tech couldn't find the mass .It was the same tech who found it the first time. The radiologist then examined me, reviewed the first u/s, the ct scan and the technician's latest u/s scan and then did the scan himself. He said -the mass isn't there.You can imagine my relief and confusion. He said he would discuss with my endo. This was all done in the radiology dept of a major metro hosp. with an excellent reputation-so I assume they all knew what they were doing. Tomorrow I will learn more. I do not underestimate the power of the thoughts and prayers sent my way and DB's candle experiment-seems like the best explanation to me.
My prayers go out to those now dealing with difficult medical matters and to those awaiting results, especially DB I am hoping that you get the all clear on your mammography.

Hello Osteoblast,

I'm in awe

what a wonderful outcome!

I can understand your confusion, though. Perhaps when you return tomorrow they'll be able to clarify it further, for you, and explain what happened. That is, if they themselves know what happened

Anyway, all's well that ends well and, if you feel like it, go out and celebrate with your family and friends

Hi OB...thank you for sharing your good news, we've all had our fingers crossed for you. Be sure to write a list of questions to ask when you see them tomorrow.

Miracles happen all the time, but only once in a while are we able to know when one occurs. take care...phyllis

Dear Osteo~~ This is SPECTACULAR news... I too would like to know what the explanation is, if there is one. Later on I'll tell you the different things I did with the candle and aromatherapy, but I'm not claiming that was the cause of your resolution, but your result are sure fantastic. The candle is still burning, for others, you and myself.

Keep us posted on what you find out...

Miracles can and DO happen, I've seen them firsthand with my husband's many problems, and the things I did-for my husband- made the drs think I was nuts-oh well who cares what they think. Two different times I was told he wouldn't live through the night, and I was determined to counteract that with things I've learned, and that was over 18 years ago, so the drs don't always know what they are talking about.

Keep up whatever you're doing, as that may have been the thing that turned this around.

Love,

DB

Osteoblast
This is great news. I know you are very relieved even if it's puzzling. I would ask to see the CT scan and make sure your name/medical number are on it. That would be horrible if the scan was someone elses. I hope you continue to get good news tomorrow at your appointment.
