Hello, my FRiends...
I need your help and your prayers, please. I returned to my trusted OB, who delivered my son nearly 11 years ago ... During my annual, the nurse discovered a likely fibroid, and gave me a physicians's referral.
Well, this mass - he's still "99% sure" it's a fibroid - is filling my entire pelvic cavity on my right side, and there are at least two others as well. I took a CA125 blood test for ovarian cancer, to make sure. I won't get the results until early next week. And I need to have an MRI to determine what this mass is - the sonograms in the office weren't able to diagnose it, or its position, for sure. There is a small chance that it could be uterine sarcoma, which I PRAY it is not.
Also, since divorce had not been kind to me financially, I have no insurance, and need to go to the Medi-Cal office tomorrow, so I'll be covered. When my doctor measured the masses, he said they will have to come out, before they start crowding my kidneys and interfering with their function, which can be quite dangerous. I'm self-employed - I'm trying to keep everything going. Freedom versus sick pay... :-)
My FRiends, I just cried for the first time since I found out on Monday. I know I need to let go, and let God. I ask your prayers during this time of waiting, of decision, of action, whatever it is. I have to have the insurance in place before any treatment occurs, so I ask your prayers that that comes together quickly. And I ask for your healing prayers, and God's guidance for my doctor. I will need to have these removed soon, within a few weeks.
Thank you so much ... and God bless you all.
CCC...does she have family and friends helping her out when she comes home?
That's Great news...............
My best wishes go out to bootless and a speedy recovery. We'll be waitin' for ya here on the FReep!
Baruch HaShem, Amen & Amen!
That's Hebrew for...Bless The Name (Of The Lord!)
That is such Great News and Thank You for the UpDates.
May our Risen Messiah continue to Bless, Heal and Comfort our precious Sister and Friend.
In Yeshua/Jesus' Name! Amen ~and~ Amen.
So far everything is going according to plan and nothing bad has popped up. Still hopes to be released Thursday. Still no internet access, so she's eager to get back on-line.
Hopefully soon she'll be walking on her own pain-free. So keep those prayers coming in the meantime!
I did find out, after I talked to CCC, that the pathology report confirmed that it was benign. My doctor said that of all the operations of this type that he'd ever done, this one was the most difficult - leave it to me to be the biggest PITA! It was also heading for my aorta, so I am very glad that Medi-Cal came through with the authorization Just In Time (Friday afternoon)!
I'm still catching up ... and will write back on this thread to everyone who posted, because I know this thread is not on a sidebar or a ping list. (Can you imagine? Argh.)
So, thank you from the bottom of my heart. More in a little bit...
