Do you have your cup of tea? Sit down...this could take a minute.
I flew into Greenville on Wednesday. I have been having some drippy nose issues, but thought it was just the cold, because, it is COLD here! On Sunday I went to church and out to dinner. On the way back to Ro's, I noticed a lump on the left side of my face by my ear. I panicked. Oh no, I cannot have a tumor there, I am on vacay, and I don't want to get stuck in a hospital.
I should mention before I go any further that my oncologist had told me that my scan shown stable.
I immediately called my oncologist at HOME no less! He said, there is no way he could imagine that it was a tumor because of my CA 125 count. I said, I don't understand. He told me that my last CA count was down 5000, points! 5000! I absolutely could NOT believe it! This is a miracle to me. Obviously, the avastin is helping me.
Ok, so back to this lump. He asked me where it was, what it felt like and he believed it was a plugged salivary gland. He put me on an antibiotic, and it is all cleared up. Whew!! That took a few hairs off my hair I tell ya!
Anyways, we are praising the Lord for His goodness to me. Rejoice in the Good Days!!

Oh I have heard of that condition...the plugged salivary glands. So glad that it was only that and cleared up with antibiotics. Nothing like a heart-thumping moment. And how cool that you found out what you did. That's wonderful! So now you can really keep on having fun!!
Hallelujah and vacay on!!!
Oh, Ceekay, I'm so thankful to know your lump is nothing to worry about! Have a good time at Ro's!
Blessings, sweet friend,

Gosh CeeKay.. sorry you had to go through that.
I had the same thing happen last year except I waited 3 days and the left side of my face swelled till I looked like elephant man. I too got antibiotics and in a few days it cleared up.
I could have avoided a lot of pain if I had just gone sooner..
enjoy your time with Ro.. see ya soon.
What a wonderful - personal! - oncologist...to call him at home and even work with you all the way across the country! What a blessing!

What a scare, Ceekay! I'm so glad it wasn't anything too serious.
I remember my Mom saying after her diagnosis of breast cancer, that it stole her complacency. Never again was the slightest twinge or ache or swelling fluffed off or ignored. Every incident was a worried reminder that the cancer might have returned. It never did but she still worried till the day she died....7 years after her surgery & not from cancer, either.
Gentle Hugs, Honey!
