The results...

Well, today around 12 we hadn't heard anything so I called and Dr. Lewis was out to lunch, but they left him a message to call me back. So around 1:30, he called while I was out getting Corey some more meds to make him feel better. He said the good news is he's 100% sure Corey DOES NOT have Lymphoma! YAY!!! HUGE PRAISE REPORT!!! Bad news is he's still not 100% sure what is going on with him. He's still leaning towards the Sarcoidosis, however, Corey is having some symptoms that he says isn't normally assoicated with that. Some of those being the night sweats, steady fever, having his lymphnodes grow so rapidly. So he has to wait until the cultures come back from the Biopsy from Wednesday to see for sure. If it's not Sarcoidosis, then he's thinking it may be some sort of a Bacterial Infection attacking his lymphnodes. He did say that by Wednesday's biopsy, his lymphnode had gotten so much larger, that it actually was blocking a blood vessel and part of it was dead, so that's not good. Dr. Lewis did prescribe him some Prednisone to treat the Sarcoidosis which is the only medication that has made him feel ok since all of this started. He also left me his cell phone number and said he wasn't going anywhere this weekend and that if Corey wasn't better by tomorrow or Sunday that we are to give him a call and he'd meet us at the hospital to treat the pain. That was SUPER nice...what Dr would normally do that on a Holiday weekend non the less. So...we have an appointment with him on Thursday morning at 10am and guess we'll be in limbo AGAIN until then.

So all in all, it's a Huge releif that my husband does not have Lymphoma, bad news is, I feel like we're right back to square one again. So...no full relief until Thursday, the 28th! Bummer. Please keep praying that this is truly Sarcoidosis and that he'll be feeling up to par soon! Thanks!
