Doc thinks I might have Lukemia..WTF!

donveto · Feb 22, 2007

Ok guys at the start of the month I posted this thread about some nose bleeds
http://www.professionalmuscle.com/forums/showthread.php?t=22369

Well Im up to about 7 a day. I stopped the dbol early and I was still getting them ...Im 4 weeks into my cycle and I was starting to feel tired(sleeping 10 hours a night) my lymphnode on my neck is swollen to shit..so I went to my doc who knows I cycle.. he checked me out and said it had nothing to do with the test and my bp was rather low so thsat was ruled out. He sent me to a specialist..Well this guy was pretty damn concerned. He has taken me out of work and I got a test for Lukemia today.tommorow Im seeing another specialist because of the pain behind my eye(same side as the nostril that bleeds the most) where I will get an MRI and catscan ..just to make sure there is no tumors...

So needless to say Im shitting myself! Im hoping for the best but preparing for the worst..

It is making me reconsider my whole life..Im only 25 and there is so much I want to do..If im ok IM going to quit my job and cash out my 401k and sell all my stocks and take a little time off to think about my life

You'll be in my prayers man.

PHIL HERNON · Feb 22, 2007

WE WILL BE THINKING OF YOU

PLEASE, PLEASE KEEP US UPDATED.

donveto · Feb 22, 2007

I will be sure to keep everyone updated. Im just out of my mind..mostly because ..I dont know you start thinking of shit ..like your life and what you have said u will get around to doing but never do... I kinda feel like calling some old freinds Ive gotten out of touch with and talk with them ..and I want to call some girls that Ive hurt in the past and mend things up..I dont know this is fucked up..

Im sure if my insurance company finds out In "on" they will blame it on that and stop coverage.,

Does anyone know if a COMPLETE BLOOD COUNT and a BLEED TIME TEST will tell them Im on..I dont think it would..if I was on EQ I would be more worried about my red blood cell count..

Im also midway into my cycle..IM going to stay on it and if things turn for the worse I will stop and go into PCT

Try and stay focused, you don't know what it is and hopefully things are just fine. Let us know the result of the tests.

I know from my own experience that it is easier said than done not to worry but until you have 100% confirmation, there is nothing there.

Keep your chin up.

Yeah Im trying not to worry but the mind is hard to control ..I know one thing that is for sure..If im ok there are some areas in my life that IM going to clean up..because u never know..

What is your white bood cell count? I wish you the best and I am not a doc, but it sounds like a chronic ethmoid sinus infection to me. Do you have any nasal drainage? Keep us posted.

Damn Bro, that not good news. Until it's confirmed or NOT try to be calm. I know,easy to say I'm not in your shoes. But I am alot older than you and have seen many people I love go down illness. The one thing they all had in common that accelerated their illness was stress. Stress and worry reak havoc on the body and mind. This is devastating to say the least. Wait and see. Try not to jump to any conclusions right now. You have youth on your side. A lot of people have made full recoverys from that, if that's what it is. Bro we are here for you. You need good people around you right now. I cannot think of a better bunch than the Pro muscle family. Man we cry together, laugh together, and share a special bond that you will not find elsewhere. Man I can not tell or express how sorry I am to hear this. You keep your head up and stay strong Brother. You will see the might of the promuscle community jump to your side. KEEP THE FAITH!! I will pray for you.

Through sickness and in health!

Hey bro, my sis was diagnosed w/ MS yesterday and so what a crappy week! Your in my prayers as well.

SVFootball · Feb 22, 2007

GOOD LUCK MAN!!

keep us posted....

im hoping for the best for u man.

Just make sure the doc doesnt let them know you cycle. Plus if he writes a note saying that what your cycling has nothing to do wtih lekuemia, then you can sue the hell out of your insurance company if they don't cover you. They have to cover you. Also, stress will increase any disease, so just try to stay calm. Luekemia is very very rare, so just pray and take it easy for a while.

Im so stressed out with my job it isnt even funny..I didnt realize how bad it was until I went to FLA last week ..I felt so good and relaxed..Im waayyy to stressed over work..

HELLA SWOLE · Feb 22, 2007

Hey bro, I do not know if you have read my thread about what is going on with me or not right now, but I feel for you bro. Do your best not to worry because there is a good possibility that you do not have leukemia, and there is nothing you can do but wait and see anyways. I hope things turn out to be fine.

I must say though I can really relate to how you feel right now. Its funny how it takes some sort of big shocking news to get you really thinking "right" and knock you back into reality. Sometimes it takes drastic things to wake us up. I am going through all types of stuff right now and thinking about all kinds of things I never used to think about. It's really weird. POssible news like this hits you like a ton of bricks. I am going to be praying like crazy for you that it is nothing serious.

jayuk · Feb 22, 2007

Even though I dont know you bud..please let us know what happens.....I rem the first post.....hope its not what you think it is!

mike1107 · Feb 22, 2007

Have they mentioned any possibility of it maybe being Mononucleosis or Valley Fever?

I know what it's like not to know. I guess what I'm saying is, if you feel alone, your not, you don't have to be. Don't be afraid to talk to someone if you need to.
