Well ladies, got my biopsy results and it is not good.
Just got my results, cancer. This is what it is called: Metastatic Adenocarcinoma is a form of malignant cancer that mainly appears in glandular tissue. When malignant tumors (cancer cells) of the same type, appear in other seemingly unrelated glandular sites, the cancer is said to have metastasized (or moved). It has become metastatic. This happens when cancer cells break away, spill or leak from the original cancer site. The cell enter the bloodstream, and deposit in healthy tissue elsewhere in the body. Benign tumors are not metastatic.I already have an appointment with my cancer doc for the 30th so unless she calls me in sooner that is when I'll find out where we go from here.

Thank you, tomorrow is finally the day I will see the oncologist. It's been a long month of waiting.
19282Debra, just remember when the doctors give those %'s, someone has to land on the good end of those %'s. I'll be thinking about you tomorrow. Good Luck.

Thank you. I'd be more confident if I wasn't in so much pain and fearing that it is the cancer causing the pain. I am pushing through it and only taking a pain pill once every 5 or 6 days.

Thank you. I would never wish cancer on anyone. They gave me a different name for this on the pathology report and the more I look on the internet the worse I like what it is so I have to quit reading medical things, lol! One thing said 6 to 29 months and I clicked off that real fast!!

Thank you, I hope to struggle through this one, I am afraid this is worse than the lung cancer was.
743321Debra, so sorry to read this. As a cancer survivor I know how you must be feeling. All we can do now is carry on praying and believe in God. He has our lives planned for us. You will have up and down days, please if you need to speak to anyone, know that we are here for you.
Sometimes it helps to talk to others besides your Family.
My prayers and thoughts are with you.
Hugs Yvonne

Thank you so much, I know I have lots of people on here who pray and some who don't but all want nothing more than for me to beat this again. I was more confident the first time but I have to admit that yesterday was a down day for me. I won't see the oncologist till the 30th so waiting is hard.
132773I have been thinking about you everyday. I remember how scared I was when I got cancer and can only imagine you feel the same way. Best wishes to you and please know we are all pulling for you and thinking of you and your journey everyday.
Hugs, Cathy

Thank you, I was not scared the first go around when I had lung cancer 2 years ago but this time it has really been hard for me to think about, I am strong but I don't know how strong yet.
29237RATS!
I have not checked this site for a while... so, I just found out. I appreciate how everyone is being so nice and supportive.... but,
What I am thinking I can not print... censors.
Give this matastasized cancer a good kick in the rear for all of us...
Yippee-ki-yay.

Thank you, I have some choice words also! I keep getting pains in places I didn't before and then thinking the worst! Finally admitted to hubby last night that I am not as confident this time, I am scared. Trying not to think too much till I see the oncologist on the 30th.
3075I am sorry to hear of that you have cancer. We pray that it is early stages and much can be done. God will hold you in the palm of his hand.

news didn't get better, it is cancer. The paper I had said benign but that was just a pre-surgery thing.

Thank you, I will be seeing the neurosurgeon tomorrow to get the stitches out of my head and make him go over a report I received in the mail today, the nurse said it was cancer but this report says benign on it, praying the report is right and she was wrong!
by leenova54
18 Nov 2011
The benign thing on the paper was just a pre-surgery thing. I do have cancer but we don't know how far in the bones it has spread.
1496Debra so sorry to hear about your cancer and wish it would have been better new. I know for a fact the good lord will wrap his arm around you and keep you safe during your time of need. Their will be an incredible peace that will come over you and put you in this unbelievable place of peace with everything that is wrong and you wont be scared of the things that you will have to face with the cancer.
God bless

She sounds like my Cancer Surgeon. I asked her how she could even reach the operating table and she told me that she has a harness that swings down from the ceiling. LOLOL!!!
17214Debra my dear, I am so sorry to hear this - but as the others have said - you are strong and I know you plan on beating this - with your doctors and treatment and all the prayers being said for you - God will surely listen and a miracle will happen for you. In the meantime - don't stop doing whatever you usually do - unless you feel to ill to handle it. We look forward to some more PROJECTS from you soon. We will be here for you in whatever way that we can be - please know that we are with you - HERE.

Thanks Shirlene, I have so much to do and am just being lazy. Tomorrow I have to meet 1/2 way with a woman from another town to have her pack and deliver the towels I embroidered for my friend in Mexico so I am excited about that and then Friday I get the stitches out of my head that itches so badly so I have that to look forward to and I have plans for some embroidery on clothes for ME for a change, lol, if I can get my lazy butt busy. For the next 3 weeks I am wearing a heart monitor to see if I have one of my seizures maybe something will show up there but the doctor doesn't think my heart is causing them so we are back to not knowing what is causing them. Oh bother as Pooh would say!
211079Debra, I wish that I could do more, but I'm putting you on my prayer list and standing in the gap for you when you need me. Just come on here and give a shout and all of your Cute sisters will rally round. I'm happy that you have faith to carry you. Now go meditate and SEE the CA cells dying as you stare them down. Hugs! ;)

Thank you, I am getting more nervous. Hubby and I said it seems like this month has moved really slow because of the wait. I know he is worried though he never shows his emotions.
158718Dear Debra, Since I first read your post, I have been trying to find the right words to say to you, but I realised that there really isn't anything I could say that would ease your worry or fears right now.
We (cancer survivors) all live with that dreaded sword over our heads, the niggling little thought, that creeps into our mind, uninvited, when we least expect it..... "what if it comes back?"
Those of us with the strength, will push it down and refuse to dwell on it, maybe we'll say a silent prayer that it never does. But it is always present in the back of our minds.
Dear friend, I am saying this so you will know, we understand what you must be feeling, what a difficult time you are going through right now and the terrible thoughts that must be invading your every waking moment and causing you sleepless nights.
Though there may be very little we can actually do for you, we ARE here for you.
You have our prayers, our love and our support and you need to know, you do not walk this path alone, though there will be times you may feel alone, HE and we, are with you.
I know you must be a strong lady as you have fought this battle and won before, but sometimes we falter a little and we just need our sisters to comfort us, at these times, when you need us, don't hesitate to call on us.
If you need ANYTHING, if you need to talk, if you need to rant or vent, just do it.
If you need to confide your thoughts and fears without embarrassment, you can write to me and I will be here for you

Thank you Bettina, you have been such a good friend to me and I appreciate your good wishes. I am prepared for the fight, it's my parents that are having trouble with it. My hips have been hurting a lot for the last few months and I am hoping it is not spread to them.
33986Dear Debra, I'm glad to see you are keeping positive and make sure you are surrounded by positive people too - it makes such a difference. I pray that your appointment with your Oncologist goes the way you want. Love and blessings Chris

Thank you, I beat lung cancer with the removal of the lower lobe also but this has metastasized from the lung into the bones. I had preventative chemo after the lung but I guess it didn't work so we are going to fight again!
