Finally was able to go to the ENT. The kindly female MD really couldn't illuminate me much on the possible cause of the sinusitis. She thinks it may be a syndrome but the underlying cause remains a mystery right now. The fact that I have swollen nodes on the right side of my neck and the drooping right eyelid is a concern. She will need to review the scans in detail before she could give me a more definitive answer. For now, she gave me a nasal steroid spray to help stave off the swelling. Increasing the oral steroid I'm currently taking helped a bit as well. But the moon face remains an unfortunate sequelae.
The lymphedema machine saga continues. Still waiting. The new DME company is just as unreliable as the last. What does a gal have to do in order to secure one of these elusive and oh-so rare machines?
About Me
- Emilie
- I am a mom, a wife, and have Stage 4 breast cancer. I was initially diagnosed in November of 2005 and was in remission until April of 2008. I have undergone various treatments, surgeries, and multiple chemo regimens. Sometimes I wonder how much abuse a mangled body could take but apparently, it could take a lot. Despite all that has transpired in my life, I do feel very blessed. I have a wonderful husband and two of the most remarkable progenies any mom could have. They complete my life and I wouldn't trade mine for anyone else's.
