No Words (gratitude)

I’m not in the clear just yet, but almost.  My blood work came back good, with perfect (brag) thyroid and lots of good hemoglobin.  But no menopause.  This I don’t understand, but I’m interested enough to look into it, so I will continue to not understand.

Endometrial biopsy Monday.  The doctor called with the results this morning.  No sign of cancer or precancerous cells.  Today I had the ultrasound.  Although I have heard they’re not supposed to tell you anything, the tech did tell me that everything looks fine.  As far as I know, that is that.  Next Monday I have a mammogram, and that’s where I usually expect the trouble to be.  There or in my lungs.  I’m an ex smoker.

I will have to reflect on this experience and some of the issues it has brought up.  One has to do with medication.  My doctor keeps suggesting birth control pills to give me a regular period.  Well, I don’t want a regular period, nor do I want to take drugs unless I need them to be well.  But that’s a topic for another time.  For today I have to set about being relieved at least of the burden of that kind of fear, for today.
