Hi Alyssa~ Thank you for the information and I'm definately going to look into and research them as soon as I'm done writing this!!!, and I know you all have been curious knowing today was the big day of the 2nd test....well my sodium actually went up to 87 and my chloride went up to 57- so the both went up 5-7 points <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif" border="0">
I think the worst part of it all is the not knowing what to expect....I mean I know I have A LOT of research to do now, and of course once the blood test comes back it will make thing perhaps a bit easier to research the specific genetics part of it....but when it comes down to basics- I mean...does this mean my life expectancy is cut? Or have I surpassed it out of luck? I had to get tested at the Children's hospital- which I hate going to those place just b/c of what it is- I can't see sick kids, I get emotional even when seeing how Strong they are- but we were right inside the same office as the kids Oncologist- well I didn't know what that word meant and neither did my bf, and so he decided to ask the receptionist- well when she said it has to do with cancer, I started looking around at all the kids in the room with me (although some there for other departments) but seeing how they were all so extremely strong- and thinking my god- what I ahve is MINOR compared to what they are going through and I'm scared to death!
I have to say though, I'm really happy to have found this site- I was really wierded out at first thinking to myself- why am I posting my life story- until I saw all of your responses. I really don't have anyone to talk to that will listen anyways, lol, so it's so nice to hear your feedback....even if it's saying..omg Veneicia...just chill!
Ok, so I think I will end on that note for the even b/c it has been an extremely long day! I hope all is well with you all!
