Thank you so much!! This morning she has finally agreed to the biopsy (Thank you Jesus) I agree it will be most helpful to know for sure (though my instincts tell me it is, along with the Dr. saying it is highly likely) Her Chemo from the other cancer was not bad, but she said back then even that she wished she hadn't taken it & never would again so it isn't even an option with her. She is on an Anti depressant but appears to need something more or stronger, I did mention this to her Nurse Ppractioner to no avail.
In November she came from out of state to live with me, after being homeless, having serious health issues due to the Diabetes & Thyroid issues, not taking care of herself, plus having abused Meth for an extended period. 😪 She had spent the better part of the previous 3 months in hospitals both Medical & Psychiatric. At that time the nodule was found. When she came here, she had been clean from the meth for an undetermined amount of time IE:1, 2, 3 months? She is still 'clean'. I found an agency that deals with addicts & can provide all medical & mental health as needed for her. They are just very slow & it has kept me hopping to keep after them to get the much needed testing done. I will be switching her insurance & searching for a regular doctor or clinic ASAP, plus getting a POA & other needed papers in order. Most or maybe all of her depression stems from childhood/teen abuse of all kinds from our mom & other people that sis was exposed to. I am trying to help her understand her worth & the defects were not with her but with her abusers. I am rambling & don't mean to, just wanted to give you some background on her. I appreciate all comments, but - Please don't condemn her for her drug abuse. I don't agree with it, but I feel I understand it.
Thank You
