GI Dr

[cirella]

I had my appointment with the GI Dr today to go over the CT results.  There had been a question about the reading.  "huge" cyst on left ovary measuring 1.9 cm.  I knew there was a mix up somewhere and didn't know if it was huge reading 11.9 (as in someone forgot to add that extra 1) or someone had a sick sense of humor.  Turns out that "two" sounds like huge, I guess.  There are 2 cysts on my left ovary but they are small.  They were actually there last Nov when I had a 4+ cyst and my right ovary removed.  I have pictures of them.  At least they are still small.

I am having an endoscopy on Friday to see if there is something going on inside my stomach.  The CT revealed all organs shown to be normal.

So here we go.  The Dr made it sound as if he didn't think anything was out of the ordinary.  I told him it feels as if something is pushing my stomach up when I don't sit up straight.  He said 'don't sit like that'.  Just what I was afraid of...symptoms without explanation.  I'm worn out from it.  It's been 2 1/2 months of not being able to eat very much.  You'd think I'd have lost weight. No...only gained, which I find strange.  Eating is no fun for me b/c I have to decide what is the most nutritious that I can get in before I can't eat anymore.  Sorry...I'm just discouraged.  I have no right to complain when most of you all are facing life and death.

Time to get a second opinion or new doctor. Don't worry about offending your curent doctor, especially after his comment. If you are that uncomfortable , you need to keep pushing for an answer.

Good luck.

I feel for you. Keep proactive. Don't give up. Let us know how the other test goes. Could it have anything to do with your surgery when you had the right ovary removed I wonder? I'm at a loss. You should be able to eat. Something is definately not right.

I don't like that he said don't sit like that. We all slump especially when we are not feeling well.

Good luck.
