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.
glory be to the Father, and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be!
The power of prayer and the power of love cannot be underestimated! Prayers up in thanksgiving for this wonderful news!
*Snorkle chortle*!
God is good!
OMG! Thanks for printing that so large, but it’s still too blurry to read a second time. Something about reading it the first time made my whole screen go blurry. This is just the most wonderful news! I wonder if you’re sleeping peacefully, partying hardy, or still on your knees thanking God. That’s where I’m headed now.
WONDERFUL news! God Bless...
Hallelujah!

Yip, yip, yahoo.
Sending a few more prayers in gratitude.
Yes!!! Such wonderful good news! Prayers continue of course. 8D
Lots happening. I fired the Cancer Doctor. Her Office Staff failed to set appointments twice. The last straw was they lied to me about mailing me an Order for my next CT scan.
I had all my records sent to the new Dr., and I went to see him a week later on the 14th. He ordered another CT scan, this time with contrast. I had that scan on 9/17. He called me on 9/18 with the results. They found another mass. This one is on my left kidney. I had a biopsy done on it on 9/24. The results are mixed. They found some cells were indeterminate, possibly malignant. Most of the cells were necrotic. Kidney function is normal. So, the kidney itself is not affected. Apparently something was growing on my kidney, but my bod is killing it off.
I am scheduled for a 3rd biopsy on 10/8. After that a decision will be made on treatment.
This Doctor is out of a different Hospital, and is a lot more proactive. I like that. So far he has had my case discussed twice at the Hospital's Tumor Board Roundtable.
Overall I have mixed feelings. I don't like that something else was found. I do like that at least this team found it. The old Hospital never saw it. I like that it is dead or dying. But I am not very thrilled to have a lump of dead crap inside me. I guess the body will eventually clean it up.

Observation:
Back on post #669, Pegita posted a Healing Confession. I printed it out and say it every day. Apparently what was found is confirmation that Prayer Works. That is a comforting thought I can hold onto.
I will post again when I learn more.
Gratitude to the Lord!
Prayers up for healing for Petruchio.
Thank you for updating us. Prayers up in gratitude for the conscientiousness of the staff of your new physician. Prayers up for your continued progress also.
Continued prayers. Thanks for the update.
Good for YOU on being proactive about your own care. I hope and pray that this new mass turns out to be benign. Keeping you in my prayers again...
More prayers on the way.
Lord Jesus our Healer and Redeemer,
We praise Thee and we adore Thee.
Please grant Thy servant Petruchio a complete recovery.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, amen.
Thank you for keeping us informed. Prayers continue...
Thank you for the update.
Prayers continue.
