I'm sorry to be so blunt here, but you absolutely must NOT cancel that surgery. What they are saying is that 7 cm out of your 12cm cyst is solid filled with a possible malignancyHyperpigmentation w/malignancy Malignancy (cancer) agent. When it says they cannot rule out malignancyHyperpigmentation w/malignancy Malignancy, they are saying it could be anything, benign or malignant, but cannot be assessed any further through testing - only surgery and pathology will confirm for certain what is going on.
I know this is a wake up call as I am sick to my stomach for allowing this to go on as long as I have,,,,at first I was told they were possible endometriomas and now this!! this is so overwhelming as I am sure everyone on here is aware of. I keep praying and hoping this too shall pass..I am overwhlemed with guilt right now for allowing myself to be put in this situation when this could have been resolved months ago. Please pray for me. Thanks so much.
I have never posted in comment to your previous inquiries for informaiton and help, but I really felt that it would not be fair of me if I did not take the time to hopefully add a little nudge in the right direction to you and to tell you that I agree so much with the others who have been, and continue to be here for you. There is no way that you should even consider cancelling your upcoming surgery. I sensed from what you said when you wrote that "right now my surgery is scheduled in 2 weeks", that maybe you were still uncertainabout having it done. I hope you don't plan too cancel it. I know how concerned you are about the unknown, but there are so many ladies here who have to wait, for what I feel, is such an unfair amount of time for drs. appt., consults, surgery, and even chemo. You are ready to go to surgery and you NEED to go. Your last test only indicates what could be there. Don't you want to know for sure and get it over with? You may be worrying yourself sick for no reason at all, and yet if you do have something that needs tending to, time is of the essence. If you have to listen to anyone, PLEASE listen to the ladies here who "walk the walk".....both good and bad. You may be surprised how much stress will be taken off your shoulders and mind when this is all said and done. You can deal with whatever is ahead of you; but you have to get off the proverbial "pot" and get it done. We're all here for you. I appreciate your anxieties, fears, anticipations. But stop punishing yourself over the unknown; get that surgery done and before you know it, you'll be sharing battle scar stories with the rest of us. Everyone needs a little positive reinforcement and encouragement every now and then; this group has provided you with both. Take it and use it as the support you need to get through the next few weeks. I wish you well, and hope oyu will keep us posted AFTER your surgery. God Bless. Judie :)
I interpret this as saying that you have 2 large masses on both sides that need to be removed so that they can test them to see if they are malignant or b9. Everything that you were told are all possibilities and can change from test to test, nothing is definite yet...Dr really needs to get in and see with the naked eye to actually know what is going on. Please don't kick yourself over this. It's a scary thing to deal with and you really have to go through with the operation and get it over with so that you can have answers. Keep us posted.
First let me start by saying how lucky I am to have met such wonderful people on this forum. I can't thank you enough for all your positiveness, encourgement, and honesty. Judie, your words of advise and wisdom were "eye opening" Thank you for that...Simply Star, with all that is transpiring in your life your still a very caring, wonderful individual" By the way hope your daughter is doing well! Also, everyone else who has listened and guided me the last few months..I am grateful. I know how "IGNORANT" I have been....with this surgery and I am going to do what needs to be done...For Myself, family and my children! The anxiety is still there but I am trying yo focus on the positiveness and apply my energy that way. Please pray for me and until my surgery I will post and listen as well. My surgery is scheduled for May 7th. I can't express my gratitude any more than I already have,,,,Thanks :)
You go girl! You are SOOO STRONG and such a caring wife, mother, daughter, sister, etc. just by going ahead with the surgery. I can't wait to hear from you after May 7th. I will be praying for you to "be anxious for nothing, think only of good reports".
Reading your post put a smile on my face...thanks for the encourgement ...i won't lie I am anxious and nervous but there are no more choices available and thats what I have to keep telling myself...this has been such a burdeon to me and had weighed so heavily on my shoulders that it is about time to let it go and turn it over to god! I keep telling myself it will all be over soon..thanks!
This is your wake-up call - please answer it!
God Bless you and, PLEASE have the surgery!
Hugs, Kisses, Prayers,
