Bad news



Today I heard a word applied to me, a nasty word and I no longer feel clean. At different times in my life, I have heard this word. The big “C” took my maternal grandfather. Then, last summer, my DH had it in the prostate. I never thought it would happen to me. I have always been strong and healthy. It is so difficult to get my head around this. It doesn’t seem real. I don’t feel ill. How can this be happening? Why? I’m scared and I want to cry, but I won’t give in. I’m going to fight this thing growing inside me. Pray to God that it’s in the early stages and that an MRI scan next Tuesday will confirm this. I’ll be having a hysterectomy within the next 2-3 weeks

The Big "C" can be defeated. Your DH did it, my father did it - just keep the spirits up, keep yourself other wise healthy for the fight - positive thoughts are very important. And so is laughter. Really. Studies show that laughter helps. So find laughter every day. I'll say some prayers for you - let us know what the MRI says.

Hugs, Siobhan. It's horrible news and of course you're scared - but you're a brave woman, you have family and friends behind you all the way, and you can beat this thing. Fingers crossed for your scan - let us know how it goes.

(((Siobhan))) be positive, try not to be too scared. I'm not the praying kind, but I'm wishing really hard and hoping that this is nothing more than a pesky nuisance.
Keep your chin up, go spoil yourself doing something decadent and restful.

Awww, thanks so much for these lovely comments. It really helps. I saw my friends at school today and everyone was very encouraging. Eve, I'll watch something funny on TV tonight. Kate, thanks for your hugs. Toni, your wishes mean a lot to me.

My mother had cancer of the lymph systems 20 years ago. Chemo took it out and she is 78 today. I wish you the best of getting rid of yours SOON.

One day at a time--so many positive thoughts and new treatments all the time. Thinking of you.

I dunno how spiritual you are but this is one scripture that has gotten me thru so many of the hard places in life: "I can do all things thru Christ which strengtheneth me." I'm still not out of the woods myself so I understand exactly how you feel. My doctor DID find the abnormalities early and has been treating it aggressively. One more biopsy in July and, depending on how that turns out, we'll go from there. Maybe some more drug therapy, maybe a hysterectomy. As Marty said, one day at a time. It's all we're promised any way. And if we live each one as if it is our last, life truly can be sweet, even in its scariest moments. You can be guaranteed you'll be close in my heart and in my prayers.
