update on madubois63
 

thanks for the updated .....that doc is bad but in this case maybe it will worth it to used him ...but however I know is going to be OK ...all of us are thinking and prayers for you ..until everything is clear again ..

Maryann,

Thinking nothing but good thoughts. I just can't believe anything else! My prayers are with you for comfort and calmness as you wait on these tests and the results. You are such an amazing young woman who has beaten the odds. I know that you will continue to do so!

HUgs and Prayers,
Lexi

Oh Maryann,

Thank you for the update. I am sorry that you are going through this. It sucks. As far as the surgeon goes...he doesn't know everything, obviously. I can't stand to be around people / doctors like that but understand that you need him for his surgical skill and not his upbeat optimism. I stick with the oncologist and wait and see (easier said that done). I hope that you get the easy biopsy and it turns out to be nothing... I am praying for that unless it is proven otherwise.

Love, Hope and Peace,

Carolyn

Maryann
The Surgeon sounds like he is talented, but a jerk...so OK, a talented jerk Dr., but here is hoping that you can prove him wrong....I am so happy for once you will be taking the easy route...not that anything is easy with this disease....you are in my prayers Maryann.....sending a hug to you....

Maryann...
 

prayers coming your way.

Rhonda

Oh Maryann,

Tell Dr. Jerk to do the biopsy and to just keep his mouth shut! I am hoping they are granulomas or something else benign.

onward and upward (again)
 

Hi Madame Dubois

I wish for you nothing but good stuff. I will send you
good vibes for the biopsy and for your continuing strength,
courage and fortitude. Don't forget to bring the "stupid
stick" to the biopsy. You can give him a whack once
he's finished with you. Good luck to you...............

Maryanne,
As a retired operating room nurse I am here to tell you that not all surgeons are jerks but a great many are!!! However, most of the worst jerks are frequently the best surgeons. I go with skill not personality although when the two go together it is great. I am praying for you, as I am sure many are, and God will take care of you.
Love & hugs,
Marlys

have you ever been to California?--Valley fever(coccidioidomycosis) can be misinterpreted as lung cancer or lung mets as I understand it. (granulomatous disease doesn't have to be TB). Not that that would be fun, but better than mets, lung CA

Good luck!

Hi Maryann,

Thanks for the update. I've been thinking of and praying for you since your first post. I'm really sorry you are going through this. As another person said "it sucks!!!" It does!!! I do like to be positive and normally am but "it sucks" seems appropriate.

I am praying for things to turn out well for you and do believe that with God all things are truly possible.

Love to you dear sister,

Mary Jo

Hi Madubois, Don't worry about the lung biopsy part-- had one about 18 months ago. It is not a painful procedure at all. Hoping for positive results. Ceesun

MaryAnn,
I, like many will be praying for you. I am so sorry you have to wait again. This disease knows no boundries. Just not fair that you have to endure more trials. But your positive atttitude will get you through this. Focus in on your surgeons gifts and not his faults!

Good luck and keep us informed.

Maryann....what can we say? You are such an inspiration and blessing to everyone that reads your life travels. I pray for the best for you. You seem to carry so much more burden than is fair and just and yet you keep that wonderful disposition and hope alive for so many others. You are a true gift to this website as so many people gather strength from you. Good luck with your biopsy...you are in my thoughts.
Peace ~ Ruth

Thanks for the update Maryann... surgeons (as talented as they are) sure can be arses sometimes, huh? I have a cousin who is one of each... LOL. In response to his "the cancer is everywhere" remark - your answer can be "...yeah, well A*holes are apparently everywhere, too..." or you can simply ask "... do you plan to be an A*hole the rest of your life, or is this something special you do just for me?" LOL

I have a "just to be extra sure" brain MRI tomorrow, too. See ya there!

Fasten Your Seat Belt!
 

Oh, Maryann, Since I read your post I have thought everything every one has post. Just wanted you to know you are in my prayers and that includes peace and calm during the waiting and the best results possible from the biopsy...

Ct guided liver biopsy was easy, but could have been trauma I was told. They try 2 times, then you have to go for hosp procedure. He was in in one. That's what I wish for you. Whatever it is, ca can't mess w/YOU, not our Maryann. No way! Stay strong, sweet Sister! Just another bumpy plane ride, which you've *weathered* and survived!!! With love,
Andi

Were pulling for you. I just know that you'll come out on top of this one too. Your a miracle.

Hugs.

Thanks for the update! I had a lung biopsy and it was not painful, just feel some pressure. I'm hoping for the best for you, and a clear MRI. Enough is enough. I will be thinking of you tomorrow - positive thinking.

I did not read your post until today. I hope everything went well and I am keeping you in my prayers. You are such a champ!

Doctor McJerky I presume?????
 

Oh MaryAnne - what can I add but that I am also praying for you my friend.... even if Doc McJerky has to be so insensitive, try to stay positive. I have run across a few of those myself.

With all that you have been through already, I am just so sorry that you have to go through this worrying again.

Stay strong as you are and let us know how your results turn out.

Good luck dear
