Last Thursday I ended up in the Emergency department. I had a horrible pain in my right side which radiated through to my back. I'm no "wimp" and I can tell you the pain brought me to my knees. Testing showed white blood cells in my urine. They kept me in overnight and gave me IV morphine and an antibiotic and scheduled me for a CT scan. Friday morning the Doc on duty came in and said "goods news - your CT scan shows nothing unusual -- the ENLARGED Lymph node in your Bowel shows the same as your last scan in November!!" I almost flipped -- because I know that there was no mention of ENLARGED node in my CT scan in November (I have a copy of the report). I was so out of it with the pain etc that I just let it go and didn't question him further.
Told him I have an appointment with my Onc on the 29th August and will discuss it with her then.
The good news is that the pain has gone - so it was probably a kidney infection and the antibiotics have kicked in.
The bad news is I'm a nervous wreck worrying about this ENLARGED node.
