Endometrium.

My doctor phoned yesterday with my scan results(and never said anything about the other day so maybe he got the days mixed up and thought he was just supposed to call yesterday then?) he re-confirmed the 2 ovarian cysts and also mentioned that my endometrium (uterine lining) measured thicker than it should be for a woman my age and reproductive stage which can indicate uterine cancer which is also another reason I have that follow-up scan in May, not only to see what the new cyst in up to; if it disappears, is the same or is bigger, but also to check the thickness of the endometrium, to see if it's grown thicker since my last scan at the ER when I went in with the massive bleed.

Uterine cancer would certainly explain my severe abdomenal pain and bleeding though and as I was researching it online I also came across another interesting link: there is a genetic link with endometrial cancer and colon cancer and if colon cancer runs in your family(like it does in mine, on my mother's side, several of her aunts and uncles and grandmother have died of it as well as biliary and pancreatic cancers along with 12 of us needing our gallbladders out, myself incl. and the one aunt that didn't died of gallbladder cancer that spread to her liver) it gives you a 70% chance of developing uterine cancer in your life if you're female; that the genetic link with the defective genes are connected. It's something called Lynch Syndrome  and if I do carry the defective gene my kids also have a 50% chance of developing it(and the high risk of colon and uterine cancer) so when I see my other doctor next week I'll ask him if he can run a blood test and check it for me to see if I have the defective gene, as well as a blood test for Von Willebrand Disease another genetic blood-clotting disorder I suspect I might have, which would explain my heavy bleeding for everything, similar to hemophilia where the blood doesn't clot well, also inherited and is passed on to your kids.

Shit. I already know I have Alpha 1 anti-trypsin enzyme deficicency; blood work confirmed that genetic defect which affects my liver and lungs....and now maybe there's more,too.....I never even knew about but may have had my entire life and unknowingly even passed on to my own kids.....if only I knew before. I knew I never should have had kids.

My hubby also decided in replacing the van to downsize now with less kids at home and the 17 YR old leaving for school in the fall that's even one less, and he's thinking of a Toyota Corolla. I was hoping for a rad cool car, like a Mustang but just as long as it doesn't end up some hideous revolting colour like a bright orange or a diarrhrea green...with him you never know what he's going to come back with...and yesterday when I was out walking Buddy I noticed a black SUV-type car idling outside the front of our house with 2 guys sitting in the front, just sitting there....waiting...watching....but no one ever got in or came out and it was suspicious, like survelleience or they were "casing" our house like to rob it or something so I kept my eye on them for the entire walk and noted down the license plate number and kept giving them The Eye just to let them know that I noticed them there and that I was watching them and that I know and they still stayed there the entire walk and only finally left once I came back and went back into the house. Hmmmm.....
