ENT VISIT - NEW LUMP ON MY NECK - So here we go again.

Noticed a small lump on left side of my neck last week in the same location as the cancerous lymph node of 5 years ago and also having an ear ache.  Saw ENT today and he put me on a steroid and antibiotic to see if it would shrink the lump.  If not then he will order a CAT scan in 2 weeks.

On November 10, 2022 Two Doctor's Visits With Good And Bad News

My brother got his stomach PEG tube removed... finally.  It was implanted on August 2, 1019 - 3 years and 3 months.  I only had my tube for 8 months.

My cardiologist visit was not so good.  He ordered an EKG,  Echocardiogram and a CT Cardio Scan to look for blockages.  Have had A-fib on and off for the last few weeks due to stress.  Then had a blood pressure drop where I almost fainted. B/P taken after attack was 81/41.  Very scary.

Dr. Abben put me on a blood thinner and Digoxin.  The blood thinner makes me dizzy.  Not in A-fib any longer.  Just a hard thump now and then.

Dr. Abben took me off of Eloquis and will put me on Zerelto.  I'm not to take any more blood thinner meds till I find out what the lump on my neck is.
