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. 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!!

Sometimes it helps to talk to others besides your Family.

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.

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!

leenova54 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.

Dear Debra - Thank you for letting us know the results of your biopsy. I've been wondering every day how things went with you. It's not what you wanted to hear and not what any of us here wanted you to hear. I know you will be strong and take what is store for you with courage and determination to beat this knew challenge and we will be with you in thought and spirit every day. My hope is that you have brilliant doctors who will support you and that you will recover again with full health.
A Big Aussie Hug is coming your way to let you know we are thinking of you, praying for you and hoping that the road to recovery is kinder than you might expect.
Much love -

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!

by meganne 16 Nov 2011

Dear 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
