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

I can understand your fears. In February 2000, I had the same problem. I had a dr. appointment on Tuesday, they thought something seemed "wrong" and sent me for some tests and ultrasounds on Wednesday. Thursday my dr. called and said, "you are scheduled for surgery tomorrow at 2 pm!" She was afraid it would end up being cancer. The cyst on my left ovary was 20cm and on the right, the cyst was 13cm. I lost both of the ovaries... I wasn't even 28.

I will definately say prayers for you and send you some positive thoughts for healing. You have all the love and support of everyone here at PT.

I hope it's not serious. I hate that you have to wait so long to have the surgery. I know it must be really hard for you. We'll all be here for you.

Try to stay positive! I know it's hard. I've had female cancer scares 2x so I know your mind races and you're in a fog. Sending you hugs and prayers that everything will be OK.

Kirsten:
When I just now opened up PT, my eyes immediately spotted the word cancer and I just had to open this thread.

I've been there. I know what the waiting is like. I know your fears and anxiety. You are scared....not wanting anything to happen to you....and what would happen to dear Lily and Luna??

Please Kirsten, don't let your mind wander like that. The doctor has not confirmed it's cancer. Have the sir jury and deal with the issue when it's time. Worrying yourself silly and being stressed out is not helping any and it won't change the outcome. Besides, those precious furbabies will pick up your mood. You need them as much as they need you right now.

Through my cancer "ordeal" (and even before it was confirmed cancer), I tried to stay upbeat and positive. Attitude is everything and if, God forbid, I should have more treatment this Fall, I will carry a winning smile knowing that I'm going to kick this cancer to the curb.

We are all here for you so don't be afraid to lean on us. Give us your troubles and worries. Hmm, that reminds me...isn't someone here from the "Worries R Us" club???

Good thoughts and prayers coming your way Kirsten. If I can be of any help at all, please PM me, OK??

Dear Kirsten

My prayers are with you. The best thing is to stay positive! I've been through the cancer scare myself...at a young age at that. I believe the mind can do wonderful things, so keep your chin up.

*HUGS* on the way!

Kirsten, I know you are very frightened, as any of us would be. What I can promise is that you will be in our prayers, every day. Is there someone who can update us on how you are doing?

I'm so glad that there are cancer survivors here who can give you their first hand experience. Praise God that they are survivors!!!!!

Much love to you and your girls,
Logan
