Hello friends,

In December 2024, I slipped and fell on a snow-covered ice patch. It was a good one, threw me off my feet high up, and slammed me pretty good. No biggie, shake it off.

On Dec 23rd, I went for a regular Dr. check-up. Told the Dr. my shoulder has been hurting. They did an X-ray of my shoulder.

Called me with results. Shoulder will be OK, but... we found several nodules on your lungs... Very shocked and scared. They did a CT scan and said it doesn't look good. Then a PET scan of my body from head to thighs...

Had a 2.5 hr biopsy on Feb 18th. Removed 4 lymph nodes and samples.

The PET scan also showed 4 other areas on my spine and hip that were more of a concern.

Going to my next specialist soon for another biopsy and God knows whatever else.

I have been off work and I hate to put this out there, but I'm extremely struggling with rent, food, paying my health insurance, and even gas for appointments. I don't know how long this journey will be. I have not posted at all about what I have been going through the past couple of months or asked for help.

As embarrassing as it is, here I am.

I'm praying and believing for a full recovery. With your help, maybe the stress could be minimal.

I so appreciate your time to read my battle that I'm struggling with. And I thank you with all my heart.

Heidi
