No the election is still a week away, but on a personal note, my (Erin) CT scan came back with good news. It showed a small ovarian cyst and possibly a
lipoma, which is a small benign fatty growth.
The ovarian cyst can cause discomfort, but may go completely unnoticed,
usually they resolved on their own.
Lipomas are common and often go unnoticed as well. They can be removed, but usually are left
alone unless causing discomfort or growing.
We are so thankful to have gotten a CT scan so easily and have a trusted
friend from home that took a second look at them and gave us a clear and
complete explanation, not to mention all in English. I am feeling back to normal as well, not to
mention at peace with the small lump I felt.
Why my symptoms resolved on their own after a couple weeks is still a
little weird, but if related to the cyst it would make sense as symptoms often
cycle with monthly cycles as well. Thank
you so much for thinking of me during this new experience. The hardest part was knowing what to do in a
place and culture we are still so unfamiliar with. So thank you!
