Hi Kim!!

I know exactly what your thoughts and feelings are - very bittersweet!!  You don't know if you want to cry from sadness or cry from sheer relief!  It's a hard moment, but yet a good moment nonetheless!  I don't think I'll ever forget when my ANA test returned showing alterations.  It was the very first test run looking in any other direction than cancer and up til then I'd been barraged with one doctor after another saying I'd lost my grip when I lost my uterus!!  What I was losing it over were the stupid doctors who couldn't see past my missing uterus instead!   So the tears were mixed that of sadness for finding something definitely wrong with me and yet they were rejoicing that finally we had something to move on and send us in the right direction!!

So, without sounding glad, I do congratulate you for you are FINALLY WALKING DOWN THE RIGHT PATH!!   Now, you can find PROPER TREATMENT and EVERYTHING will begin to come back into the right order for once your doctor can find what is wrong, he can treat it.

So, congrats my friend, for having PUSHED SO VERY HARD!!  I'M VERY PROUD OF YOU!!   It was about this time last year that you left us and went on your way to rule out the other possibilities!   YOU DID IT!!   You had to go that path for it's as important to RULE OUT other possibilities as it is TO FIND what is wrong!!   All those negatives were very necessary, for they took all the competition out of the picture and now your path is cleared for Dr. Afrin to do the rest!!   CONGRATS my friend, your very hard persistent pushing HAS PAID OFF!!

I'm looking foward to hearing more!

Hugs!
