I think that they are going to cancel my surgery.......

It might just be jitters but i dont think that they are going to let me have my surgery..I just went and did pre op test yesterday and i have to go to the doctor tuesday and then the gyn on thursday and my blood pressure is running really high..I checked it about four hours after my meds and it was 152/120 and i checked about 30 minutes ago and it was 182/113 and that is with my meds so i dont know..I think that these things are going crazy in there with all the pain that i have been in and my blood pressure was doing good.And then all of a sudden it does this and has been like this for the last week...So i dont get it..I think that they have waited to long to take care of it and now i am going to be the one dealing with it..So forgive me if I am whining but the fear of dying and leaving my kids and family is horrible and that is what goes through my mind..My best friend went through this about 2 years ago and that is what they did they waited to long to do her surgery and then the next thing they knew she had cancer and it was everywhere...I hate to dampen anyones good day,But i am going to tell ya now thay you girls are the only ones who know your body , if you have insurance you demand what you want and dont give up till ya get it..Dont let someone take your life right out from under you by telling you to just wait..I am so afraid that one night i  am going to go to sleep and not wake up ..What a way to have to go to bed ...Because of being poor ....I love all of you and thank you for the support that yall have given me ...You are all blessings from heaven... hugs lou

my name is Leanne and I have ovca. I am due for an operation in less then two weeks and they will not do it either becasue I need somebody there to pick me up afterwards, and I know if I do not get this done I will die sooner than later and I am 39 years of age. But I know where I am going at the end of my journey. Please put your trust in Jesus as he cares for you. Jesus is still in the miracle business today, but you must repent of any sins in your life and sins your have comitted, and give your heart to Jesus who loves you. I hope you end up with that surgery, and if they will not do it you can take them to court and if you do end up with cancer and it spreads you can sue them. God bless you, Leanne

Well , I find out this week what they have decided..I have to go to do the doctor to get the pre op test results and see how things go from there..I am just so disgusted with my body right now.I went to my sisters to let the kids do fireworks and had to take three percocets before the night was up.But all in all the kids ended up having a wonderful time and we were able to bring the new year in together...That is what counts..I sat down and told my four year old daughter that i was going to have to have surgery and be in the hospital and she started crying saying but moma im going to miss you...But then she ends it saying when i come home she will take care of me...I am just ready to get this over and done with...That is why i get so cranked out some times cause with them not knowing if it is cancer how could they wait so long for my surgery...I guess because it is not their life that they are playing with...Well wish me luck i go see the doctor tuesday...louella

Hi Fancy
I had changed my Infusion clinic and finally called them on Tues and told them tired of taking pain meds, I need treatment soon. They said thet were being held up by an insurance paper that I had already taken there and given them, I am on state Medicade and have a spenddown of 600.00 every three months. My Medicare finall kicks in Feb. Being poor does suck especially when you think you are bringing down everyone you loves world. They say of course that your not but we all know how that goes, I don't have a very big family but it it funny how you worry about them more than yourself. Any way I will pray for you today during my Bible Study. I did get my treatment yesterday and am feeling ok... As bad as Chemo is it does take away the symptoms of OC. Hoping you feel better today, I wish I was there to give you a hug :)

I'm with everyone else. You do need the surgery. My doc kept putting me off because I am poor too and have no insurance. In situations like ours you really have to wonder, what do you have to do to get their attention? I know a good percentage of medical proffessionals probably have gone into that line of work because they care, but unfortunately many are only in it for the money. It's really disgusting how so many of them are concerned w/money more than another human beings wellfare.I think my doctor actually realized (I guess he had an attack of concience, which I am greatful for) that taking care of me came first and the money can be paid later. I know that God has everything in his control, and even though it doesn't seem like it, this is another way that he can use us to be comforting, encouraging, and to be able to testify to his mercy, love, and kindness, by sharing with others. I will keep you in my prayers. Oh yeah, one more thing, everyone of us going through similar things so your comments, questions, and concerns are not in the least bit being "whiney"! This is what we are all here for. May God bless you and keep you well.

It could be your anxiety is jacking up your blood pressure. This might be hard to do right now, but if you could just sit, and breathe very deeply in peace and out fear 10 or 15 times it might help calm you a little. We are all here for you, as I am sure your family is. We hold you in our thoughts and prayers.....

Fancy, I understand your fear and anguish. All of us here do and we are here to support you. Something someone told me a few years ago was that fear and worry are from the Devil. Talk to God and he will lead you. Put this is his hands and he will protect you. Allow yourself to be soothed by GOD, us, your family, friends and anyone who crosses your path. This is a difficult time for you, things will work out. I will pray for you and will check back on you. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Allow yourself to have peace that will be most therapeutic.
