Finally, I heard back from my doctor! No cancer on pap smear.
However, my thyroid test came out very out of whack. They tell me some of the bad lab results that are are signal of cancer are also a signal of a bad thyroid. Things are pointing towards a thyroid problem. They need more tests to see if it's Graves disease, or Hashimotos (both autoimmune thyroid conditions, I gather) or if its one of the less common conditions. More tests next week. The doc finally felt my thyroid, and said it does seem enlarged. I couldn't tell, because I gained so much weight in las couple of years, I thought my neck feeling fatter was just from getting, well, fatter.
It's good to know that being at high risk for cervical or ovarian cancer, it came out normal. That's one big load off my back.
My honey also signed us up for a weight loss program, it's a closely medically supervised weight loss program, Lindora. We start tomorrow. We're on the first 10-week go-around, as the general goal is to lose about 40 pounds in the first 10 weeks. Usually first few weeks, you lose a lot, then it tapers off.
Aaaand, I'm getting Ashley this saturday. The girls whom handled her and Bri at the rescue place tell me that Bri was actually the more scared one of the two, which is even better for Ashley!
Maybe things will start moving in a positive direction for a change.
