I'm keeping positive thoughts that today's scan will be able to locate my tumor(s) today!!!! In the last few weeks, I've been diagnosed with tumor-induced osteomalacia (TIO) aka the bone breaking tumor.
This/these tumor(s) release a hormone fgf23. In a simplified explanation, this causes my phosphorus to be low in my blood and leaves the bones very soft and weak. Bones fracture, muscles wasting, and the fatigue can be debilitating. My podcast goes into more detail if interested.
The hope for today is, this tumor can be located and easily removed . Once the tumor is removed, I will be cured of the excess fgf23. In a few years, my bones will hopefully build back up.
So I go into today hopeful. I don't go in with panic, anxiety, or fear. What will be, will be. I have trust and faith my doctors will be able to work with me for the best outcome!
