Time to call out the Big Guns.
Some of you have heard thru FReepmail that a week and a half ago a mass was found during a routine chest X-Ray. 2 days later they did a CT Scan. Yesterday I had a Biopsy done. I just got off the phone with my Doctor.
I have cancer.
Specifically, Adenocarcinoma. More tests need to be done to determine the stage and if it is just the one tumor or if it has spread.
Please include me in your Prayers that this can be treated.The most powerful weapon I can employ in this fight is Prayer.
I join in earnest prayer for you, dear Petruchio!
Definitely praying for you!

The Dr. today said she is thinking of chemo & radiation to treat this. Maybe this is the ticket for me to lose some weight
I finished chemo and radiation last year. I admit to having the same thought that you did about weight loss. But, when you're on chemo, you have to keep eating well. You would be surprised at how quickly you can reach a dangerously low weight.
Stay positive, and stay strong!
Praying for you and your doctors.
Praying for you!
Prayers for you Petruchio. Remember...
Crosses are a gift, crosses are a gift, we can offer them up.
Great instruction from the holiest, Our Lord and the saints.
You are in my prayers, Petruchio.
Prayers for healing, peace and courage.
Oh no! I’m praying for you. I have to go now to get a repeat of a bad mammogram, but I’ll check in with you when I get back. I’ll be gone all day, as it’s a long drive and I always take the opportunity to visit with family near there. God bless you Petruchio.
Prayers for recovery.
You have my prayers, Petruchio. I am so sorry this has happened to you. Stay strong and know our good thoughts, wishes and prayers are with you. Hugs, Mom
Prayers up
Dear one,
am storming heaven!!!!!!!!!!!!
It sounds like they’re covering all the bases, medically. Thanks for letting me know, so I can help out in the prayer department.
Cancer sucks! You beat it once. Beat it again. And don’t forget to eat plenty of fresh fruit.
Please keep me on your ping list. I’ll keep you in my prayers. God bless you FRiend. Be strong.
Dear Petruchio,
Prayers are up for you and your doctors and other medical personnel.
UPDATE:
Reminds me of Boot Camp . . . Hurry up & wait.
I have been running around like crazy getting all the tests and scans done. Now there is nothing to do until the 15th when I meet the Radiation Dr., and the 22nd when I go to my regular cancer Dr. to decide on the plan of attack.
On the plus side, there is no discomfort. If it was not for the medical reports I would have no clue something was wrong.
Something else I discovered reading the CT scan report. My pancreas is heavily scarred from Pancreatitis. This might explain why I went from 2 vials of Insulin a month to 9 vials.
You’re still in my prayers.
