[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 144247, member: 84"] I could've sworn I posted on this thread earlier, but evidently I didn't. I'm so sorry. Waiting can be dreadful. I'm the sort of person who just has to think of every worst case senerio no matter what the odds, so by the time I get the news I'm a wreck. Of course when it's good news I'm ready to jump up and dance I'm so releaved. When Travis was going for the polycythemia diagnosis we kept hearing from all of the specialist how "impossible" it was for him to have it. Not to worry. It's a fairly rare disorder to begin with, far rarer for someone his age (19 at diagnosis). They just couldn't believe he'd have it. It had to be something else. Blood tests were rushed through and repeated to be sure, while we waited on results. Then the bone marrow testing was done in a rush, and again the long wait for the results. I was almost in a frenzy by the time the docs confirmed the diagnosis of polycythemia. Odd things was though, after worrying about it and building it up so much in my mind it didn't come as quite the hard blow I expected. But still I hate waiting. Saying prayers and crossing body parts for you and your son. I am thinking he might have fell into the hands of this doctor for a good reason. (((hugs))) [/QUOTE]
