Technicians never tell you anything, they leave that up to your doctor. It took a week before I got the news that my second tumor was benign.

You are in my prayers always.

Hang in there.
C Horse is right. Medical is light years ahead now.
My step daughter in law had double lung transplant several years back.

Approx 6 years later she had to have another double lung transplant plus liver transplant on the same day.. She was down to 98 lbs.

Now she is looking good----- doing well and goes out walking with family.
They visited us a few weeks back and she does not look like she has ever been sick.

I do not believe in miracles but she does.

I credit it to medical.
I can tell you without wishful thinking.------- Do not give in.------ Do not give up on medical.
I have seen it happen. You can make it through.
Hang in there.

I fell sound asleep on the couch 2 seconds after setting down. MUTTs Inc thought I needed to get up.

Bret, have faith in your Dr. Always think positive, even if the scan shows the cancer has spread. Treatment is available. Don't give up, my friend.

Bret, let's hope that there are treatments available for extremely rare cancer. You may want to request additional testing and scans to make doubly sure of the diagnosis. I know you can beat this my friend. Above all, stay positive. Huggs.

I am angry enough to spit nails esp the arrogant incompetent muther fucker that MISSED a golf ball sized tumor on my stomach the first time I went IN about Thanksgiving last year. His medical license should be pulled and his ability to practice withdrawn.

When I read what you were told yesterday, I did not know what to say and still don't know.
I understand your anger and all other emotions, Darter.
Tomorrow, my granddaughter will get her final result after her 12 chemo treatments that ended in April this year. From May to the end of September, she and her husband and the two little kids took a long vacation, bought a mobile home and spent time in 6 different countries in areas far away from tourists. They wanted to recover from the past stress and enjoy the nature. She says that she feels good, and we hope that she tells the truth!
I should add, she was raised a vegetarian, eats all the fruit she can get and mixes her green "boosters" every day - plant based powder with super food (Organic Superfood Blend). It probably helps her immune system. She did not lose her hair from chemo!
What I want to tell you, is NOT to give up. In my granddaughter's case I had also contacted the Mayo Clinic in the beginning. One has to collect all information possible and also should consider alternative medicine in addition.
Stay positive..... I am sending positive energies and prayers.

I regret you having read my fit of anger with my long time friend Roger.... Usually he is the last to view a blog or post a comment.

I doubt the Dr in Iowa City has much to say to me or will contact me again after what I called her boss. After setting in the room for a 12 noon appointment and the Dr finally sending in one of her flunkies who can't even understand English ... I let loose.... I have probably burned my chemo chances too as I really don't give a G D if that Dr has the cure for cancer she my shove it up her .... Where I am from if you are going to be delayed you call ahead and give options.... Much like a valued customer of mine will have their lawn sculpted for winter tomorrow even if I have to spend haye whole day doing it.
