Just wanted you to know

[brookside]

Hi this isn't about any of my dogs. It is about me. I just found out that I have lesions on my bones and liver. I also have a large cyst on my left ovary. I just went in because I didn't feel too good...just general malaise and some constant diarrhea. Well I guess I have cancer it all points to that. I am just going to my MD this am to talk about this and am scheduled for more tests next week. I am so afraid and scared and feel all alone. If there is anyone out there who has had the same symptoms but it ended up being no problem, I would appreciate hearing from you. Say a little prayer for me and my dogs. I don't know how I am going to get through this.

Becky- Your NN friends will be here for you through whatever might be coming. Try to stay positive and strong, mental attitude is a lot of the battle. We will help and talk to us any time you need to. I'm way far away but I know there are NNs in your part of the country. I'm sure they will help.

I've lit a green candle for you. Green is the color of healing. Sending healing energy and prayers for strength in whichever way this journey will lead you.

Close your eyes, breathe deeply, release any thoughts of negativity from your mind. Allow only positive thoughts to live there. Envision a white light of healing and peace surrounding you and your dogs.
Quiet your troubled thoughts and take a moment to reflect on anything for which you are thankful. It may be just looking at your dogs in this moment and feeling the bond of love between you or the kindness of friends who will support you in what you are going through.

I have cysts on my bones, liver and ovaries..its heriditary. I found out about my liver cysts the week my dad died of liver cancer and I went thru the roof with anxiety...but the doctor said they are common...and not cancerous. You said you have lesions on yours tho...but lesions are not tumours..it sounds like it is ulceritic..your doctor will be able to describe to you in more detail...

I know that I couldnt hear what the doctors were telling me after they first said I had something on my liver...I shut down. Try to take someone with you or at least take a pen and paper so you can write things down when he tells you. Later you will want to think of what he said and wont be able to...you can also ask for copies of any tests they ran on you so you can ask around and see what other people say and think...lay people as well as other doctors.

Its too soon to panic and to assume its cancerous. And cancer isnt always untreatable...

my love, support and prayers are in your direction, my dear...

Becky, I'm so sorry to hear that you are having to go thru this...I had sent you a PM just before the Nat'ls and hadn't heard back....well now I guess I know why...you've had you life turned upside down with fear...sending prayers for strength and clarity of vision as you move forward with tests and decisions...I do have some information if you'd like to PM me or talk off-list...

What was said above is correct. Be sure you have someone with you - an advocate - who can listen and hear everything, because you won't remember everything. This has happened to me, too. My husband recently kept an ER doc from putting me in the hospital for several days and running a bunch of tests because he didn't want to do a simple CT scan - which proved I had diverticulitis, and I was put on antibiotics and sent home on the same day. Why, because the ER doc wasn't listening to me when I told him it was likely. When there are two of you dealing with a possible life threatening situation you become a force, otherwise you alone are a "patient". When you are a patient you can't take notes and ask all the questions. Also, take heart, we are all thinking of you, and maybe it will not be anything too serious. We can all hope and pray for that.

"I don't know how I am going to get through this."

6 years ago I was diagnosed with stage 2 Pancreatic Cancer. I found a website that said my odds of living through it were worse than surviving a close range bullet to the head.

I know *exactly* how you are going to get through this. You are going to get through with help from your friends, your family and mostly yourself. Don't despair. You dont know it yet, but you are strong.

When you are going through hell, keep going.
