Anxiety

Anxiety is defined by Webster's as: distress or uneasiness of mind caused by fear of danger or misfortune.

I am not sure that was the extent of what I felt on Wednesday afternoon, but it certainly was distress and uneasiness. Adam had his scans on Wednesday, and all went well. The day went without any issues and we got to see one of the newer doctors on his team. But then the phone call came.

"Mr. Wyatt, this is Doctor Johnson, and I wanted to call and let you know that there were two spots that were seen as active in the lymph nodes in his neck."

Yes, I felt fear, distress, uneasiness and just plain sick to my stomach. And I had to call Adam and his mother. As the doctor went on, he assured us that we are not talking relapse yet, and it could be any number of reasons why this showed up on the scan. So after more tests and blood work they determined that they are going to watch this for a couple of weeks, put him on some anitibiotics, as it may be nothing more than a virus causing a false positive reading on the PET Scan.

We go back again on October 28 and we will know more then. Until then we are trying to let the anxiety not control us. And Adam you ask? Well he is strongly in the opinion that this is a virus and he is fine. We pray that is the case.
