I'm sorry to hear this...so sorry.
Teresa
I haven't heard of this. Did the doc give you any idea about operating. Oh, Marie, I am so sorry. Praying for you as always, Judy
Oh girl; will it ever stop? I am so sorry.....
Peace.

Marie,
I'm so sorry you didn't receive better news. When will you find out if it's operable?
Thinking of you ,
Sandy
Oh, my friend, am so sorry. My prayers are with you. Hugs, Trudie
Oh, Marie, God Damn It!!!, when will it end? Please know I have you in my thoughts daily. Let us know if it is operable, or what you onc's plan is.
Maggie
Sigh...Marie, that is not the good news we'd hoped for. I'm sorry. I do hope it's operable.
Hugs,

That's not what anyone wants to hear. Did they tell you the size or exact location? That would probably make a difference. So many people have bowel surgeries and add years to their lives. Would a few zaps of radiation be a possibility to bring it down? When do you meet with the doctor again to get more information?
I have talked to my onc again. She is looking into my original surgery and path report to see if it could have been appendix/colon related cancer all along. It often mimics ovca. I asked her about this months ago when screen name orangefuzzball brought this type of cancer to my attention. I go for a ct scan Wednesday. She said Blue Cross won't ok a PET unless the CT is tried first. Stupid policy, but nothing I can do. Then I see onc the following week to discuss CT and decide what to do. I freaked out a little this morning but I am fine now. I will just fight as long and hard as I can and in the meantime I will do as much as I can to prepare the family. I know for sure I would not be able to hold myself together if it were not for all of you. Much Love, Marie
Will keep you in my prayers and thoughts until Wed. and will check back with you, see how the testing went. Too bad you have to wait another week for some answers but that seems to be the way things are done - hurry up and wait. Hugs,
In a way I am glad for the delay. This way I have 2 weeks to do as much as I can before they start working on me again. I have wasted alot of time and haven't gotten things in order as well as I should have. I will let you know more as soon as I know something. Love, Marie
Marie,
I am so sorry for this news.....I hope you get some answers with the CT scan....I will be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers as always...Love, Dawnlyn
Marie, I am so sorry that you did not get the news we were all hoping for. I am glad that you have some peace about it now and I will be preaying for your CT scan on Wednesday. Just know that we are here for you anythime you need us. I will be praying for you. Love you, Kasie
Marie you are an amazing woman and in spite of the report I know you will persevere. Your always in my prayers!!!!!
Alisa
Marie,
I'm so sorry to hear your news. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I know that we have never met, but we live so close. If you need anything at all, please do not hesitate to get a hold of me.
love,
jamie
Marie - so what you are saying is that it might not be "Ovarian Cancer" and it might be what Lisa (Orangefuzzball) has???
Whatever it is, I hope that they are able to find the right chemo/surgery/radiation....treatment...that will put you into remission and keep you stable.
Sending lots of positive thoughts.
Love,
Pam
My father had radiation for colo-rectal cancer. (He was desperate to reverse his colostomy and wouldn't allow a surgery.) So add radiation to the list of options to ask about. I'm so sorry you have to go through all this.
Stay strong, as I know you will, thoughts are with you. Steve-Jordan
I could not get on this site last night for some reason. My computer was not able to access the forum. This is the first I have seen of this thread and I wanted to tell you that I felt a sting in my heart. Not sure how else to describe it.
Sending love, prayers, and positive thoughts your way.
Love, Mary
I am so sorry to hear this news. I hope that the CT will offer more insight and that you can have surgery. I will keep you in my prayers. Hugs, Colleen
I hate insurance companies. I know a PET cannot be done unless there has been a real diagnosis .. such as OVCA .. and the PET is used to monitor it. There are PET/CT's that show 2 different views at once. Oh, well, can't fight the ins. co., but it sure is frustrating. God's graces be with you. Judy
Have been ill with my ureteral stents so just now getting your news. To say I am sorry is an understatement. This year is not starting off on the right path. I hope you have confidence in your oncologist and that a treatment plan gets underway ASAP.
Love,
Sharon
Marie, your strength is amazing. I'm with some of the other posters, that radiation might be something to be considered. My thoughts and prayers are with you, and especially next week. Keep us posted.
Kelly
Marie,
I am keeping you in my thoughts and saying a special prayer for you. I'm glad you have two weeks to prepare, but its never a good time to have to deal with this. I am wishing you lots of strength and peace as you start this journey again.
Love,
Gail
