Well, of course they confirmed it Uveitis, which one it is, is up in

the

air. For sure Anterior Uveitis (Font of the eye) retina or optic

nerve is

not swollen (this is a good thing) but there is white blood cells

floating

around, the specialist said it's very hard to tell if it's spill over

from

the Anterior Uveitis. He did say if it is spill over that's a good

thing,

though it'll take a long time to get rid of, most of the time the body

will

do it naturally but, they took three large vials of blood to run

several

tests on to see if I carry a certain marker in my blood, that will

determine

if this is something I'll need other experts involved in to clear this

up

(Immunologist or a Rhuemetologist), if they can not find any other
"underlying" reason for this disease then they' treat it as they would

a

"first time normal uveitis" and hope it doesn't come back again, but

with my

history and my family history he's pretty sure some of those test will

come

back positive. So for now, I continue with the drops twice a day and

I see

him again on the 30th early in the morning.

How long before the tests come back? And I'm curious about something.
Could this be a result of the cancer treatment? Could it have caused the
problem with your immune system? You're in my thoughts everyday Jane. I
have everything crossed at this point. :-)

Thanks for the update. Good that it's anterior, anyway. If the
markers come back positive, would they put you on an
immunosuppressant now? I guess that's up to the rheumatologist
or immunologist, huh? At any rate, much better news than it
might have been. The waiting sucks, though, and you really
don't need any more doctors!

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

More damn waiting for you, sweet Jane, that's gotta be
taking a toll, too. Your immune system sounds like it's
under siege. I wish I could do more than fervently hope for
a good outcome to all this -- but it's all I've got so I'll
just hope as often and as hard as I can for you.

I'm sending lots of good vibes your way, but whatever the news, I hope
you get the test results back soon. Good or bad, at least that way you
know what you're dealing with and how to fight it.

Good luck
