You won't beleive this one.  I showed up for my appointment only to be told that the doctor had an emergency at the hospital and I would have to reschedule.  Apparently they left a message for me, but since I left my house 2 hours prior to my appointment, it was too late.  I was very, very upset.  I am going back this morning to meet with another doctor in the same practice who had an opening on her schedule.  I asked the staff to have the doctor look over my recods and let me know if she thought I should bother to even come in.  Later on I spoke to the receptionist who told me that the doctor spoke to the refering physician on the phone and said that "even though it's probably nothing, I should come in for a visit."  So there you have it. With any luck, I will have some information today.  Also, my thyroid ultrasound came back with a report of something like a goiter on my thyroid, no nodules.  I have an appointment with my endocrinologist tomorrow.  This is how I spend my life, going to doctor visits and havng tests.   How are the 2 of you doing?

Hi I,m so sorry what a nightmare! I think its pretty appalling for that to happen. As if you arn't stressed enough without getting cancelled Oooh it makes me mad sometimes. In hindsight the fact that they said its probably nothing is reasurring don't you think. I don,t mean that in a negative way just cancers a frightning concept for most people despite the fact that there are a lot of treatments available now if you know what I mean. Perhaps you will get some proper answers . Isnt a goitre to do with thyroid problems? Perhaps thats causing your problems. Let us know how you go on. I,m ok Ive had two consecutive lots of antibiotics for crops of boils, swollen nodes in groin and a UTI which gave me horrendous oral thrush and the other kind. Great eh. Anyway due to the advise from the forum thats a lot better than it was so can't complain I suppose. I'll look out for your post later. Hope it goes well. XXtake Care Chris

So, my appointment was  a waste of time.  The doctor spent all of 15 minutes with me (consultations are supposed to run as much as 2 hours long).  She kept reminding me that they sqeezed me in and that is why she had to keep leaving the room and taking phone calls.  Then, based soley on the tests that I already had she said I don't have cancer.  I nearly lost it.  Not because I don't have cancer, but because I asked my family doc., my referring doc., and even the doc. in that office to review my information prior to my appointment to be certain that I even need to see an oncologist at this point. They all said yes. I said what about the MRI report and she said "it's non-specific." And I said, so that means it's nothing.  And she said "I can't say that it's nothing, I just don't think it's cancer."  And I said why would 2 doctors send me to see an oncologist if they felt there wasn't any other testing or anything to be done.  And she said, "they sent you to me so I could tell you that it isn't cancer."  So, I'm glad it's not cancer, but then I am left wondering what it is.  She said that if my family doc. wants her to do a bone marrow biopsy she would do it.  And how has your day been going?

Duchess, Geez...I don't even know where to begin!  I know you must have been so angry.  I am having a bit of an anger problem myself today - just b/c there is so much BS that goes along with this stuff.  I mean, had I not ended up in the ER a few weeks back, i still would not know that I have 2 nodules on my thyroid!  It was found by accident....ok, my mom says nothing is an accident, but I kept telling my gp along with all the neuro symptoms, I believed that my thyroid was doing some funky stuff.  She brushed it off - did finally do the test after I complained over and over again - TSH came back high, upped meds, and so on and so forth.....just really ticked off today about how long all this is taking.  I know that I have no right to complain when I see what you and others are going through and have been going through for so long...I am just drained of energy at this point.  I am just looking forward to Thurs this week,actually think that this is the first day since April that I don't have appointments or work, etc.  I plan to stay in my PJ's ALL DAY LONG - I am going to pamper myself and I am going to lay around and read the new Nicholas Sparks book I've had since Christmas and try to forget all this **** for one day....ok - sorry for blowing off steam!
Anyway, I think it is a big coincidence that you have had issues on the back and front of neck.  I don't know if you read the post I made about the neuro I saw telling me that some thyroid diseases/disorders can cause neuro symptoms....so I wonder if you are like me and all this **** is coming from your thyroid...hmmmm...this is all so interesting.
I just think it is so ridiculous that these docs treat us with such disrespect when we deal with this stuff on a daily basis.  I have just stopped holding back...If I get a little upset, I just tell the doc now....I am sick of being sick and I want you to find out WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME!!!!!!!!!!  Let us know what Endo says...I am very interested to hear.
CHRIS, gosh.....what a double whammy with the oral and vaginal yeast!!!!  And I thought I was having a bad day.  Did you happen to get any answers about the crops of boils, etc?  I assume you didn't.  Why does that not surprise me?
Sorry to post so long guys....just needed to vent - now feel guilty b/c you guys have so much going on yourselves.  But I am happy to have people to vent to in a safe place....thanks for listening....wish you both a wonderful Wednesday - hope things look up for us all soon!!!

Tomorrow I see the endocrinologist to find out what showed up on my ultrasound and CTSAN of thyroid.  I think it is an awful coincidence that the MRI with abnormal findings was in my c5 (back of neck) and something also showed up on thyroid (front of neck).  I have had hoarsenss and laryngitis and other issues involving neck and throat.  I just wish someone could give me some answers without sending me to other doctors.  When I was researching issues with thyroid it did mention possible connection to other neck and lymph issues.  Maybe my endo. can help me.  I'll keep you posted.  I just posted to you regarding the swollen glands too.  Let me know what's going on with you.

Hi I know what you mean my hubby's got different specialists for different things and it can drive you mad. Hope your endo has some good news for you you could do with something positive. I read the comments you put on Charleys post didnt want to piggyback but  Taa  I havent got a sore throat so dont think its mono. I honestly dont know what too think anymore. I have been diagnosed with an undiagnosed neurological disorder no dx other than this for past two years. Ive had a whole lot of new stuff since Feb which has cropped up swollen glands dry eyes( had slit lamp test) use celluvisc 4 x day (pain it is) ,crops boils ,facial pain , jaw pain , blood in urine , etc. Had two lots antibiotics ended up with thrush oral and otherwise Oooh Anyway it seems to be settling now thank god due to good advice from the forum members. My Gp just lumps anything new in the ? box.  Not a lot I can do until I see my neuro on the 5th July and I,m not raising my hopes about that either. Good Luck with the endo its got to be better than today. XX Chris

I really can't believe that they sent you to an oncologist to confirm what they already said! How ridiculous is that! I also think it was quite rude of them to keep reminding you you had been squeezed in. I bet you were eternally grateful for that wernt you. I thought that maybe they would do some more tests  at least to clarify what it actually was.
My days been a doddle  compared to yours . I bet you were seething I would be. Are you going to go back to your Dr ? XXChris

I have had you in my thoughts today as well....hope you are doing okay.  Let us know how things went - until then, thinking about ya!
