This May Be Nothing, But....

I would appreciate your prayers. I went yesterday to have my eyes checked and to get a new pair of glasses. As part of the exam, the doctor dilated my pupils to look inside my eye. He told me that my left eye has a couple of floaters, which many people have. I have never been aware of them. He also told me that I have some edema around the macula, which could be an indicator of the beginning of macular degeneration. The part that concerned him was that I only had this condition in the left eye, whereas people who have macular degeneration have the same thing occur in both eyes. He then proceeded to tell me that cancer can spread from the breast to the eye, and it usually means the brain is involved, too. He gave me a piece of graph paper to test my eyes daily and told me to see him if I noticed any blurriness or deviations in the graph. Needless to say, I came home in tears and put in a call to my oncologist. The PA called me today. She said that it does happen, but it is extremely rare. The oncologist will contact me tomorrow to let me know if I should do anything else. I think I will ask about seeing an eye specialist just to relieve my fears. I deal often with a fear of recurrence anyway, without such news.
I also would like for prayer for Bryan. He has had severe muscle pain up his neck to the top of the back of his head for a couple of days. He says he will see a doctor tomorrow if the pain doesn't subside.
I hope you all have a blessed Thanksgiving with the people you love. I am thankful for those of you who keep up with the blog and offer up prayers. It means more to me than you can know.
