That's wonderful news that it isn't very progressed. I hope the doctor comes up with a more definitive treatment plan for him quickly!

X2!

Well, we did get the MRI results. It is as good as we could hope for now. The mass is only 3mm which is the very bottom of the scale. The next step is more testing to find out what type of growth it is and then we have three treatment options depending upon those results. It can be treated with medication, a couple of different radiation types or surgery. The nurse told my son they will monitor it for 6 months. I don't accept that because something will have to be done to stop the progression of his wait gain prior to that because he is gaining 10+ lbs a month, but we will have to wait until the Dr. gets back after April 1st to find out anything more. I called to see if we could get him in to another doctor but it takes a referral from existing doctor, a review of the tests, and then the decision to schedule an appt. The earliest available appt is April 24th and there are several referrals already in line for that time period. For now we are in limbo but at least know that it isn't life-threatening and has to be very slow growing. Thanks for all the prayers and positive thoughts.

Glad to hear it is what it is, praying for you and your sons through this process.


On another note... I am so very impressed! I need papa to wrap and ship all of my eggs! I just got 14 BLRW eggs in a 7x7x6 usps box -at first I thought.... hmmm... wonder why he didn't just ship both swaps together in one box and got back to our shop to open the box and there were two layers. I kept unpacking eggs and unpacking eggs and in the bottom layer I could see yellow and I just knew for sure it was busted. I kept that one for last- all 13 not even a crack. I gently started to unwrap #14 because I knew it would make a mess, and then I realized it was a yellow marker not yolk! all 14 from CA to TN in perfect shape in a little bitty box. very impressive papa!!! you should make a video!

Hopefully there is an Rx they will give him to halt the weight gain in the meantime.

Large to jumbo from what I have received. Even the pullet eggs i have received are upper medium to large. On the cream legbar thread there are some that are getting 60+ grams already.

Awesome! Thank you. I am planning on keeping them in with my layer pen, so that is great news!

These guys weren't on my final breed list, but I've wanted some for five years or so, so when I saw them, I got them! I should probably figure out how many eggs a hen lays per week.

I am glad to hear you ended up with your best of the case scenario. When did these particular symptoms that got the dr to finally order the MRI start showing? How did they decide it was slow growing? I would think 6 month moderation is too long to go without any type of treatment.
The news must have been a great relief. Just to know what you are facing is helpful, even if it still isn't something you'd hope to go through.

You are a strong woman. For me, I have panic attacks at the first sign of a fever, and can't fathom my reaction for something that merits a panic attack.

I have been taking him to the doctor since he was 13 for gaining weight. Each doctor just looked at him and said fat kid, go on a diet. I finally insisted on blood tests because he is 21 and gained about 150 lbs in the last year and a half. They did blood tests and found he had low testosterone levels. Doctor wanted to put him on testosterone. I said that there had to be a cause for that at his age. Sent him to an endocrinologist. She did a physical exam and determined he has never completely gone through puberty. He has Cushings which is caused by a tumor on the pituitary gland. If any doctor had actually done a physical exam in all these years they would have found the physical irregularity. AHHH!!!!! That is how they know it is slow growing. It has been affecting him since pre-puberty age. Now we have physical issues that will probably never be corrected. Not the least of which is abnormally short stature. He is only 5' 4" and according to baby/toddler heights should have been 6'2". His dad is over 6 foot. Anyway, we just have to get him on the road to as much normality as we can. At least his self-image will improve knowing that this was not his fault. He had completely lost all self-confidence because he just kept gaining weight.
