Kickas.org Forums Ankylosing Spondylitis General Discussion #1 AS Web Support Group a friendly ere

I hope this is ok in this form,
I have been having a reasonably herd time recently.
The usual things, US local taxes, US immigration, UK work problems, My daughter is starting her masters degree in Boston in three weeks and of course our old friend AS.
Well just to add to this I have been having a problem with my noes for about 8 months. Not to grouse any one out but it gets inflamed, swells, goes red and is very painful.(attractive sounding isn't)
Back and forward to the doc's I go. Cream, lotions ect. ect. nothing worked.
It would come and go when it pleased. I went to a specialist he took tests and called me back. He told me last week he wanted to do a biopsy on Monday. I asked the usual questions and he was very evasive, so I asks, was he looking foe the big C. There was a long pause and he said that was one of the things he wanted to rule out. I asked, what are the chances or what are the percentages of it being C, He said he would not discuss any possibility till the biopsy is back. I was not reassured!
I haven't told Dorothy all yet as she has enough on her plate. He keeps on crying about our little girl moving out again. so I will wait for the results first.
I just wanted to get it out. I hope this is ok and I have not groused any one out. Its just been playing on my mind. I know it will be ok but these things always come at the woursed time.
I hope you are all pain free and thanks for being there,
BI Hugh

Good morning Hugh

I am sure that things will work out with your nose. They are just trying to rule things out, and hopefully, it will end up being something simple to treat.

Your daughter is in Boston? How exciting...I am an hour north of Boston, and spend time down there off and on with friends. If needed, PM me, and I will give you my cell number. That way if your daughter needs something, I can be there in a flash. My friends even quicker.

Good luck with your nose, I will keep you in my prayers.

Hi Hugh

It never fails does it ? Everything happens at once. You must be feeling pretty overwhelmed.
I hope this nose business all works out ok for you.
I do know it's sad when our children leave but it is unfortunately just a part of life. Your wife will just have to zoom off to Boston at every chance she gets ( if that is possible ). have you been to Boston ? It's beautiful.

Hang in there Hugh

Hugh, I hope everything goes ok with your nose. It sounds like something my husband has but at the moment I can't remember what it is called. I will have to wait until it comes back through this forgetful brain of mine. The dr. treated it but I don't know if it will ever go away. It is red and getting bulbous. I really hope it is not cancer. Why don't you share with your wife? I know why you aren't but I really think she would want to support you through this.

Let us know what you find out. And when I remember what my hubby's diagnosis is I will tell you. I hope your diagnosis is the same. Doesn't look good but won't hurt anything but his pride.

Blessings.

Hi Hugh,

Have your doctors ruled out rosacea as the cause of your nose problems?

Hi Hugh,

I am sure they are just trying to rule things out first.

Dont borrow trouble, just wait and see what happens.

That is great about your daughter, I know you have to be so proud of her.

Keep us updated,

Lisa

Hugh,

I hope everything goes well with the biopsy. I know the waiting part is the hardest. Will be keeping you in my prayers.

Take care,
Pam

Gidday,

Sorry to hear about this latest problem, Hugh. The waiting part is hard, but hopefully the results will come back clear.

Good luck. Please keep us posted.
