Thank you all! You're right, Kerb, it wasn't anything. I think doctors just like scaring you. I finally got back the test results last night. MRI was normal. The blood work showed infection, but doctor said, "The infection was of normal levels at 7,700. The differentials were of normal size, shape and contour so nothing crazy there." In other words, no cancer. The swelling and infection did in fact come from a bug bite and is not IBC. They ran titers to test for antibodies. The prognosis is Lyme Disease. I will be on doxycycline for 30 days, but I'm ok with that because the alternative would have been much worse!!
I hope everyone has a great Memorial Day! If anyone is at Thunder on the Rock...see you there!
