Recently I was told I have a tumor on my parotid salivary gland....

Wonderful.

My ENT doc said he would have it biopsied so we would know what we're dealing with.

That happened last week..........and now I know.

Celebrate with me!

He is not only very smart, but he knows how to listen. He is also a lovely person with a warm sense of humor. I picked him out of all the cardiologists I knew back when I was working in the hospital, and I have never regretted it.

So, today I had another shorter episode of irregular heartbeats along with some near-fainting sensations. I was at home, and alone. And I was scared. So, I called his office.

I talked to his nurse, and explained how this was nearly a repeat of what had happened Saturday, and that I wanted to talk to him.

A little over an hour later, he called me back. I gave him the scoop.

He told me he wants to check my blood levels of various drugs and chemicals, and he also wants me monitored on a 24-hour Holter Monitor. I've done those before and they're easy.

So tomorrow I get some fasting blood work done, and the monitor glued to me for 24 hours.

Then we'll see what to do next.


Thank you all for being here for me...You are my electronic family!
