The Wheels Are In Motion...
I feel a bit strange about going to my Dr about what I have but I have an appointment at 10.50am this morning.
It iss tempting to cancel but I cannot change things whether good or bad so I have to accept what happens. I still feel calmish for now but there is a bit of apprehension of course.
And naturally all my Dr can do today is advise and give me an examination initially if he chooses and then arrange the next step which I assume will be tests and/or an appointment with a Cancer specialist.
The test will not trouble me but awaiting the results will...
Update:Well, my Dr did not really go through my notes but felt my breast and the lump and practically dismissed it straight away because of its size and shape. He looked unconcerned but said I was right to come in. But he did agree though rare what I was concerned about it might be, the drugs that I am on are very strong so could appreciate that might be a reason for having the lump but that would be homonal.
And it is gynecomastia. I have to believe my Dr that it isn't anything to worry about.
He says even if a hernia is big it's likely the hole will be very small and I should be in and out the same day and the longest wait will probably the three weeks it takes to get referred to see a consultant. Say the word and he'll arrange things. He understands delaying things to see how the kidney condition pogresses and to be sure Mum is a bit further on the road to recovery.
I discovered today that my kidneys had improved and possibly stablised(again)but that unbeknown to me earlier in the year I was on the borderline of things not being good and other treatment being required. So constant monitoring is so important and always will be.
I can drink alcohol and it will not affect me. So I can have a cocktail.
I have been taking a few suppliments like Garlic capsules, selenium, vitamin B complex, vitamin c, cranberry and of course plenty of fruit and veg so whether that has helped, it hasn't done any harm. I'll keep at it.
My computer has been taken away and may be repaired by tomorrow.

Happy New year Gildy, thanks for your comment. I'm glad things have improved a bit as far as your health goes. I'm catching up a bit so I hope your mother is better too.
Re computer I have had no internet at home for two days (posted from work) and no hot water or heating since I got back (Wednesday night)!!! I'm lucky that I can get ahot shower etc at work.
service mechanic says he will be here this afternoon (Saturday) coinciding with the coldest spell here for quite some time!
brrrrrr
Happy New Year to you to Span(Thanks for the good wishes)
Yes, a strange way to start the year.
Bit of a scare and I'll be keeping an eye on things...may give it six weeks or so and if I see my Dr again, get him to see if it remains tyhe same has improved or changed in some way though I believe his professional opinion.
Hope your heating gets sorted out...not the ideal weather to be without hot water.
My Auntie has been having similar problems and some others on the net on Gavin's forum.
I hope this year will be ok but on would've been Dad's Birthday, one of those Government forms fell on the mat asking questions about my health, which I could do without and as rules are changing you wonder what will happen next.
"My Auntie has been having similar problems..." ...and my mum! All sorted now (I've been away all week and left the keys with the neighbour so the guy could sort it all out (that's my style of fixing things!)
I'm glad all seems to have been sorted.
Of course our problems pale into insignificance when you see the problems of countires like Haiti.
