So sorry to hear that you had a health scare! I'm glad it was not cancer, and that you are healing well now. :)

Glad prayers were answered and it wasn't what you feared. Its a brand new day :)

SOOOO happy to hear it wasn't what the doctors originally thought...Someones looking out for you :hug:

Thank you Jesus for answering our prayers! And thank you Smallsteps for letting us know how things turned out!:hug:

Thank you all again for your continued love and support. My doctor is going to examine me again tomorrow, but this medication treatment seems to be doing its job. I am still having that choking sensation when swallowing at times, so I am sure he is going to be referring me over to see a ENT.

All this added stress from just being sick and trying to take care of me and my family, and the steroids has really got me way off track. I was really frustrated yesterday and feeling as big as a whale. Today I am doing better with my emotions and feelings but not very happy that I have gained almost 4 pounds. Grrrrrrr

Small Steps - you've been in my prayers since I read the first post. I was in a rush that day and didn't post. I've been meaning to tell you how happy I am that it all worked out. and I can relate - I had a bit of a scare last October. I woke up one morning and could hardly swallow because of a huge lump in the front of my throat that seemingly appeared overnight. Short version - I have 3 nodules on my thyroid that are completely benign and the "choking" sensation went away as they shrank in size. I just have to have a sonogram every year to keep an eye on it. But I really do know how you feel. Waiting for blood and biopsy reports can be nerve wracking. I'm so glad all is well with you. You are always so upbeat and positive. I enjoy reading your posts.
