Life takes a turn.......................

[Overcomer]

Hello all my friends.

So for the past three years I have had a bad back.  I have gone to the chiro and the DO.  I had an Xray and an MRI.  I finally decided I needed to have a hysterectomy.  I did google search after google search trying to find a reason for my back pain.  I had very heavy periods was anemic and had some fibroids so I finally decided that the back pain must have had something to do with the back pain.

So (on the day Michael and Farrah died) June 25 I went in for a total hysterectomy.  I came out of anesthesia and was told the surgery was hard and when they lifted up my intestines they found a mass wrapped around my ureter (the tube that connects one of the kidneys to the bladder...)  The gyno called in a different surgeon to take care of that tumor....they told me it looked benign but they would send it to the path lab as usual to make it was nothing.

So my h and I went in to have my staples taken out and the doc told me the mass was malignant.  So I have cancer?  Yes.  So he told me the type...leiomyosarcoma....very rare.  I went home and googled it and became VERY scared.  It doesn't look good.  So tomorrow I go in for my first oncology appointmnet.  My sis in law is an oncology nurse and she is going with me.  I will fight this with everything I have.  I guess it was good I decided to have this elective surgery because they stumbled upon the tumor.  Funny....the tumor is right where all the back pain was......they didn't see it on the MRI.....

Oh well, I could use some prayers.   If it's not one thing it is another!!

Love, Kelly

Kelly, you bet, I will keep you in my thoughts. You're very fortunate to have your SIL to be there for you, not just to provide support, but to be a second set of ears at the oncologist's office. That's so very important, as in our own fear, we often don't hear things correctly.

I know there really isn't anything I can say to put your mind at ease, but do know that people are thinking of you. Love, and friendship, and faith can be very healing things.

Wishing you all the best,
Kathy

I looked it up and hopefully the surgery got it all and you will be fine. I think that will be the case. I have very strong intuitive feelings about things and a VERY strong one that you will be OK.   Love   Ami

Oh, Kell. I am so very sorry.

Please read this web site, which says that the type of oncologist you see is crucial, and you need to
request a referral to a sarcoma oncologist or sarcoma treatment center for overseeing your treatment, or for a second opinion. We define a sarcoma oncologist as an oncologist who sees at least 100 sarcoma patients a year, and who often works in or near a sarcoma treatment center.*

Dear Kelly:

I'm certainly keeping you in my prayers and thoughts as well.  Do not despair as much good work and advances are being done in the field.  The fact that you happened upon the discovery of the tumor the way you did was a good sign.  Lean on the support you have around you and stay positive as you face this latest battle.

Thinking only good thoughts for you.

Kelly,

it IS possible to have cancer and for surgery to remove it all. It happened to my MIL, with lung cancer. After 2 years of return/checkup appts,. she was told not to bother making another appt.

Keep thinking about that, OK? Meanwhile, I'll be here waiting to hear very good news from you.

I'm glad the cause of your pain is now known.... even though it's scary.

You can deal with it, instead of suffering without understanding.

Your SIL will be such a comfort.....  someone to walk you through and help figure it out.

Stay positive.

Kelly....

Come vent?

Don't be alone with the fear.

You can let it out here.

SCARY AS HELL.

(But that doesn't mean it's not going to turn out okay.)
