All the best to you. I hope it's just one of those routine problems we all have to deal with...like a gallstone. MJO

You are scared. and i understand. I also lost my dad recently and I'm going to see a bone oncologist this wednesday ( very scary).


Don't you just want to scream ENOUGH, STOP.


I also have a doc with little bedside touchy feely manners. I think they say cancer everyday to lots of folks, and so the sensitivity of the word is lost.


Good luck

Lisa,

You are so strong and so kind.....Just think very positive regarding your coming
surgery...

As far as the loss of your Dad....It is so difficult when we no longer have our
beloved parents. Both my parents have passed and each day I miss them,
but they remain in our hearts and are always with us. I hope this thought
will offer some ease at this challenging time for you.

Sending you much love.

Jean

The "H" word
 

"Hospitals" are not fun - having just been in one that is very good, but the discomfort of surgery of any kind is enough to make most of us afraid. But, to me you are afraid of what they might find in the worst case. I know this feeling very well.
We think we are tough after a long bout with this disease, but each new phase hits us just as hard as the last one.

When is the surgery date?? This week?? Let us know so that all of us will focus our prayers your way. The comfort will be in the KNOWING.

Lisa~
Praying for you & your family...and you don't "need to be a LOT tougher" - you've already proven that you are more than tough enough! Just hang in there...& know that whatever comes your way, you have the tools, support, courage, & everything else you need to get through it.
I hope you find a doc/surg that you respect and trust and LIKE!And it's not too much to ask for ALL of these things. I had my liver resection last December & I had/have complete respect & trust in my surgeon-for his skill, compassion & the respect he showed for ME and the difficult decisions I had to make.
I hope you find the same in your doc. (PS-my surgeon is a Surgical Onc. that specializes in cancers in the peritoneal cavity-liver,stomach,intestines, etc.I'd recommend that you look for someone with specific expertise.)
Prayers, Faith & Courage~

Lisa, Thinking about you lots and stay positive.........You've been through lots but have always managed to stay on top. Just make sure they have a good reason for the surgery.
Love Al
