Will have surgery next week, I may have cancer!!

[Catty1]

{{{{hugs}}}} Kirsten - I am glad the docs are taking care of this right away!

Before my hysterectomy, I wanted the 'marker' test to see if I should keep my ovaries or not. My doctor said, that in healthy women, the marker test was a false positive most of the time.

Prayers going to you!

Kirsten, I send you a big hug and lots of prayers that this is nothing at all.

It is good that you are dealing with it right away so that your mind can be put to rest that all is well.

Kirsten, lots of hugs and my thoughts are with you! I hope all goes well. Just take it easy, try not to focus on the C word.

Lots of prayers coming your way, Kirsten. Of course, I pray it isn't cancer, but if it is, please remain confident that there is much to be done about it.

Dear Kirsten,

I hope that your surgery goes smoothly and the result is what you are hoping for.

Many of us here at PetTalk have had cancer scares. I have had cancer and been cured! So even if your results seem daunting, the initial diagnosis can be scarey but the outcome much better, down the road.......years later..........

So please try to keep yourself in a nice positive thought mode. I have found that it is so important to keep your spirits up during such a stressful time. Here in the US we have lots of support groups available for counselling and caring and information. Also, I have found that your best weapon is probably going to be as much information about your situtation, as possible. I know that for a while you will be in that unknown territory....and that is very frustrating. Once you get your surgery and the results, you will know which direction this will all take you.

Chin up deary. Take really good care of yourself during times like this.....eat a good diet and try to keep your spirits up! I know its difficult.

You will be in our thoughts and prayers.

You are in my thoughts and prayers, Kirsten.

Kirsten, I'm so sorry to hear this. I sure hope it's not cancer. I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Please take care. (((HUGS)))

You'll be in our prayers.

Prayers are on the way from me too!!! The cats have paws crossed for you too!!!

[Kirsten]

I thank you all.

I'm pretty much beyond myself at the moment, it seems so unreal, like a nightmare.

For some reason, the worst is looking at Luna and Lily, it breaks my heart. I don't want to leave them, and I hope I won't have to stay in hospital for so long. Could be that I have to stay one or two weeks, depending on what kind of surgery they decide to do. I will miss them terribly!! I love them so much, and I know they will miss me too, especially Luna!

Oh my Kirsten, I am so sorry to hear this news. I am sure that you are scared. My girls and I are sending many prayers and whisker kissies to you from Indiana.

Will your Mother be able to be with you? Will she take care of your furbabies while you are in the hospital?

I hope and pray it is nothing. And remember... they found it and it will soon be gone.

Prayers and positive thoughts on the way for you Kirsten.

Kirsten, been there, done that. If you need to talk about it, please feel free to e-mail me.

When I had a cyst removed from my ovary, I went to the hospital in the morning and came home later the same day. I hope it will be the same for you.

Will you have anyone that will be able to stay with you for a day or two?
