rjjacobsen,

Thank you! I sit at a desk all day and have too much time on my hands so i get on the internet and do research. It was also found that I have a nodule on my adrenal gland, so I need to see and endocrinologist in July as well. I lost my dad to pancreatic cancer and my grandmother to breast cancer. So I let things get to my head. I do appreciate your words of encouragement!

When I had my work-up, the scans found numerous (like 18) kidney cysts, two liver cysts, two thyroid nodules and 6 small spots in the lungs which were too small to biopsy or analyze.

Very scary at first, but none of them changed a bit over three years of scans, thus they aren't likely anything malignant, but we still do regular scans at 6 month intervals to make sure they remain that way.

Also found a small hernia and spinal stenosis.

You find out all sorts of strange things when you start getting scanned - most of which aren't a big deal.
