Update 1/7 - At Dh's follow-up appointment, we found that the biopsy still shows no answers. The CT scan showed nodules on his lungs. He has an appointment with an oncologist on January 19.
His leg is also an area of concern. He injured it several years ago and thought he had a muscle problem. Based on the scan, the doctor thinks there may be more going on and he needs a biopsy for that too.
Thank you all so much for your kindness and prayers.

You know my dad passed away at Thanksgiving after being in the hospital for two months. a few weeks before he passed my Dh went to the doctor because of pain he was having. Actually while he was at the doctor was when I got the text from my mom that dad was in ICU. I was leaving for the hospital as Dh was coming home.
He was sent for an ultrasound, which showed a mass. He was sent to a specialist. By the time he was able to get an appt it was the day immediately following my dad's funeral. We never said anything to the family or anyone during all of this. and of course friends were saying just take it easy and rest in the next couple of days but life doesn't stop. I cannot tell you how exhausted I was during that week.
Specialist sent him for MRI, which confirmed a suspicious mass. Two weeks ago Dh had surgery to remove the mass. He is home from work for 4 weeks. They did a biopsy and we expected the results at his follow up appt last week., results were not sent so the dr called.
The pathologist said it was definitely cancer but couldn't tell what kind or where it originated. He expected it to look a certain way and it didn't. Nothing he is testing it against is a match. Somebody here will understand this but he keeps sending away for more "stains" looking for a match.
Specialist is not sitting around waiting. He sent Dh for a full body CT scan to find out what's going on. The hope is that it started and ended at the same spot and gone with the surgery but if it started somewhere else it's a whole different story. We expect to find out this Wednesday.
So we wait. One step at a time. Dh is ok if he doesn't think about it. I'm good with the big picture stuff, I have peace but it's the stupid little stuff. I got very overwhelmed with everything happening with no breathing room. Between my dad and Dh and ds' birthday (I put together a bday party last minute) and Christmas shopping and everything it was too much at once.
The week of Christmas was rough. I had a lousy attitude that I couldn't shake. I got so sick of myself. PMS Didnt help! I'm in a better frame of mind. Doing well. Just tired. Very tired.
