Bursitis anyone?

[Tink]

I went to my Dr this morning, and he assures me I don't have bursitis due tot he location and type of pain I'm having. He is instead, testing me for ulcers and breast cancer, and has taken me off a med that I've been on a couple of months (Crestor) that's known to cause nasty aches and pains. He had 5 tubes of blood drawn to test and has me scheduled to come back in next week.

I also had him check a spot on my face and he's sending me to a specialist since he thinks it too looks suspicious for skin cancer. He noticed my recent weight loss, and instead of applauding it, said it could be a symptom of something we should be aware of. DANG now he wants to schedule me for a colonoscopy and a mammogram. I know I have to go back in, but I kinda wish I hadn't even started this craziness! Sounds like I'm gonna be spending a lot of time at the clinic in the next couple weeks.

It sounds like he's being very cautious and checking everything out. I'll say a prayer that your tests come out ok. Keep us posted on what you find out.

See if you can schedule all your tests for the same day so you can get them done and over with and the results back faster. My mom thinks that just because the Dr. schedules the appointment, she can't change it.

I'm saying prayers for you Tink....I know everything will be fine, so as hard as it is, try not to worry. We're all here for you, I hope you know that!!

Thanks ladies

I had the blood work done today, so will get the results back next week.
I have my Mammogram and another visit with the dr next Thurs. I called my boss and got a vacation day for that day so I don't have to rush. So I'm thinking like you Janet. I want to get it all behind me as quick as I can.
