Well here I am walking into Urgent Care, not thinking anything of it.  I really thought the pneumonia just got worse.  I was seen by this amazing Dr. who checked me and said I don’t hear pneumonia but I can tell you don’t feel well. She asked if she could take some X-Rays and I agreed because I just wanted to feel better.

After doing the X-Ray I went back to the room and waited.  I was kinda confused on why it was taking so long but the DR. came back to my room with a white face.  I knew something wasn’t good but little did I know that I would be where I am now..

She begins to tell me she see’s a mass on my “lung”, after another test we learned it was actually my esophagus, (to be continued). She orders a CT scan and sends me to a lung specialist.

I follow DR orders and go and have the CT scan done and meet the lung DR. 2 days later.  He confirms I have a mass/tumor on my esophagus not my lungs.  It was a bit of relief, because it sounded like I only had an infection.  But in order to see what was causing the tumor, I had to have an endoscopy. 

Well I went and had that done and waited on my results. Walked back into my DR’s office waiting to hear you have .... this infection here’s some meds. Nope not today.

I find out now that the test showed no infection but couldn’t determine if I had lymphoma... so the next step is now surgery.. ugh.. I didn’t want to hear that and broke down into tears in his office. I felt awful for my DR. because I’m sure he wasn’t expecting that. He offered me a tissue and scheduled my surgery with the best surgeon in GA. That I was very thankful for.
