Some people have no class, instead of supporting someone in their time of need they want to tell all their horror stories....nobody wants to hear how people in your family suffered honestly Michael...My mother battled ovarian cancer and won, my step father battled prostate cancer and won, a dear friend won a battle with breast cancer......let's talk about with faith and friends to support us through this difficult time we CAN make it through...God bless.

update

well on the 24th i went to surgeon to set date for surgery..... upon examination he believes a new tumor has developed in my upper stomache area... so friday the 27th i had a ct scan (had to drink that nasty contrast)...so that my inestines would glow enough for scan.

In the middle of all this and the testing that's been done... they've discovered my blood sugar is way outta control... so now i get to start pricking my finger 3x aday...and taking Glipizide XL every morning before breakfast...they said next week i'll start another diabetic med that I couldn't start now because of the contrast used in the ct scan... I have to wait 48 hours they said.. ugh

So now I go back the 7th.. if not called back sooner... to find out if i've developed a new tumor or if i've developed a massive hernia .... but either way.... he said it's got to come out as well... jut want to know what we're dealing with before cutting me open. So i've found out the true meaning of.... when it rains... it pours... and IT SUCKS!!!!!...

But I want to thank you all for your thoughts and e-mails and prayers.... they've been a big help...huggs to you all.... and have a wonderful week coming up.....

Jessica..

(I will be starting a thread soon on how to deal with submission when dealing with sickness... do we give up... or do we hold on to the hope of being able to continue to be who we are.... when it's all over with )

Yes, that sucks.

The blood sugar imbalance indicates that the cancer affects your biochemistry severely.

This appears a time for desperate measures. Running a high fever might help.

Jessica, darlin'!
I am so sorry that I didn't see this until today. You are added to My list ( I have one that is way too long right now!), but, as said, keep the good thought. I admire you more than you know. It takes great strength to face this type of thing head on and carry it through. And you are feisty enough to yell it down! *Smile*
Know that we are here for you, and I will be sending up a prayer each day, and good thoughts 24/7.
Postive energy radiating to our Jessica...
