I sure will. I don't see the rheumatologist until Aug.6. I think you also asked me to update you on the results of the CAT scan I had done to check my lymph nodes as I was told I had lymphedema but had not had cancer. Well the CAT scan did not show involvement of the lymph nodes so it is edema, but lymph nodes are no blocking the fluid. Now to find out what is. They are now considering a nerve in the spine. Lots of osteoarthritis there.

Finding out what is going on will determine the treatment. Hopefully you will find out more through your rheumatologist. You can ask any doctor you see to provide an order for home care for you. Since that doctor will be the one giving the orders and consulting with all the disciplines(i.e. nurses, physical and/or occupational therapists) it makes sense for the doctor to know what is going on in order to be in charge of the home care you receive. If you need any assistance in guidance let me know. For years I worked in that industry.
