Stressed out

kaycee · #1 March 21st, 2009, 09:07 PM

I'm feeling stressed out tonight. DH had an MRI last week for some pain he's been experiencing. I pretty much wrote it off as a pinched nerve or something. He's been on his online forum and is getting nervous that it is something more sinister. We have to wait until later this week to get the results, and I feel like he's going to give himself a heart attack with all his tension. For those who do not know, he is in remission from Hodgkin's Lymphoma and has been for two years. I hate waiting, but worse than that is watching him stress out. Of course, when he was sick I was his cheerleader; and I do not feel he should see me worried. It would only make him feel worse.

Anyway, I had to get that out. I'll keep you posted later in the week.

DH got the results back from his MRI. He's been referred to a neurosurgeon for this back. There are a few possibilities that could have caused the pain. His GP seems not too worried except that he'll likely need some more surgery. We'll have to see what the specialist says. A few more weeks before his next appointment.

Thanks for all the kind words and messages. I'll KUP!

I will keep you guys in my thoughts. Hang in there and come on here if you need to vent or destress.

I really hope you were right in the begining and it is a pinched nerve or something less than that. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Thanks for everyone's kind words and thoughts. He will get the results on Wednesday, hopefully. I wouldn't be so worried, but he is generally a pretty laid back guy. When he gets nervous, I get nervous. In addition to this test for his back pain, he'll be having a PET scan in April (standard test once you've gone into remission with Lymphoma) to check for cancerous cells. I'm hoping both will come back negative and he can focus on his health AND the baby more.
