Oh crikey Sarge.
Sorry to hear that, it must feel overwhelming.

As many wiser Dwellars have said - one step at a time, one bite at a time, one test at a time. Much and much and much love to you.

I shouldn't whine. Things could be worse. Ref the Xanax, I have been prescribed .25 & .5 mgm in the past. Never seemed to work. the bright side. I'm trying to look on the bright side. When this tumor is gone, I might have a halfway normal life again.

Sure, things could always be worse but doesn't mean that you don't need to let people know and talk about it. SG articulated what I would like to have thought of.

Hugs to you sarge.

And for some unsolicited advice ... ask your doc what he/she knows about beta-blockers and PTSD.

i really don't understand what is going on with my body. something happened with my first deployment in oif. since then i contracted discoid lupus, had 2 bouts of sarcoma, disc compression (iba syndrome), bilateral tremors, ptsd, neuropathy, 3 rounds of pneumonia, epididydmal cysts, and a tumor on my pituatary gland. ya'll, i'm starting to think i'm not going to be around much longer. i know that is a stupid thought, but something is really wrong.

i wonder if i was exposed to some agent or chemical while doing a sensitive site exploitation

Are you in touch with other guys from your unit who are having similar problems?
