Here we Go Again!

Well Hello there, it’s been a long time since I wrote on this site. I got confirmation this week that I indeed have Cushing’s disease again. Not the greatest timing to not be able to work. It’s a good thing the Lord knows what he’s doing, cause I don’t have a clue. Anyway, the good news is that it isn’t going to take as long this time as it did last time. I only need to get one more positive high test before they go in to take whatever it is out. I have an MRI next week to see if they can spot a residual tumor. Once I have the next high, I go see the neuro-surgeon. I was really lucky and found an awesome endo here in Dallas. He is communicating with my doc in Seattle. He has treated other Cushing’s cases before and didn’t dismiss me. I actually went to him because I thought my meds were off. I started getting sick and not sleeping. After almost two years, I once again have diabetes. I was shocked when he called and told me that my tests were all screwed up.

I’m not sure how this is all going to work out. I am taking it one day at a time. My mom is going to come down when I have surgery and when the doc says it’s ok, I am going to go to MI to recover at the lake. Hopefully, I will be able to start back to work in the fall. By then, I don’t think I’ll have my house anymore, so I don’t know where I’ll be. At least I won’t be homeless. I will miss Chloe so much if I don’t come back to Texas.

Anyway, the shock, anger and sadness is pretty much behind me and I am ready to get this show on the road and get this thing out of my head. If the surgery isn’t successful this time, they will know right away and go straight to radiation. It has its own problems, but at least the Cushing’s will be gone. I will keep everyone informed through this website again. Thanks for caring! Trisha
