thank you...i'm hoping so too...i have so much planned for this summer...and i don't want cancer to slow me down...
No one ever wants any illness to slow them down. I can only imagine what you are thinking and wish I could put your mind at ease. Just try your best to relax (I know it's probably wishful thinking) but you need to rest up as much as you can for tomorrow and until you get the results back. I've been tested for cancer when I was 11 and again at 24, luckily negative, but it was still scary to think about and was always in the back of my mind no matter what I was doing. Just try your best to stay calm in a hectic situation and I'm sure you'll pull through no matter what the outcome. I'll make sure to pray again for you tomorrow too, what time is your test so I'll make sure to have a ringer go off so I pray at that same time?
I work in the medical field (but not a nurse, so don't ask me questions. LOL!) and use www.labtestsonline.org to look up lab stuff I don't know about. I think it's your basic blood draw, don't be worried about that.
Well wishes coming your way.......
thank you so much michelle...i don't usually whine on message boards...just going thru a lot i guess...
It's just bloodwork...they can use a butterfly needle if you're too scared of a regular one.
I've had CA125's done because of genetics. It's not a big deal. There are false positives and false negatives. A biopsy will definitively tell if cancer is present or not, not the CA125.
I hope everything is fine. ![]()
thank you...you all have been so supportive...i will prolly end up having a biopsy done...i just don't want mega scars...funny i was thinking next week is my bday...i'll be 25...most ppl my age are working...having families...finishing college...doing something other than worrying about stuff like this...but my mom went through it...and she survived...i guess what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger...
thank you all...i'm gonna go try to get some sleep...even though i doubt sleep will come...
Feel free to whine, that's what we are here for!! You are going through a major thing, or at least getting yourself majorly worked up!! LOL!! I didn't mean to make it sound like I was blowing you off, but didn't want you to think I knew anything either. I'm just a slave to the doctors. ![]()
I had a mammogram at 21 for a lump, so I know how it feels to go through things like that. I also had my son at 19 and thought he had cystic fibrosis. They found something on an ultrasound that looked like a problem with his bowels, then I found out I carried the CF gene, and we couldn't have him tested until he was born, obviously. Very scary last few months of my pregnancy.
It's okay to whine and be scared. Eat some cake and let us know how you are doing!
Hope everything went okay for ya.
I didn't mean to make it sound like I was blowing you off, but didn't want you to think I knew anything either. I'm just a slave to the doctors.
It didn't sound that way...Your the slave...I'm the pin cushion...Lol...No, this morning went relatively fast and painless...Didn't sleep at all last night...So slept this morning...But now cuz I missed a court hearing...(I was rushed to the hospital)...They want me to appear and show just cause why I shouldn't be held in contempt...You would think protection order against my ex hubby would protect me...Looks like he's getting away scotch free and I'm the one getting in trouble...I'll tell you this is ridiculous...I just know I don't wanna go to jail...I think I'm gonna dub my life...Days of Rose...A soap opera of one girl whose life went terribly wrong...HAHAHAHA...As you all can see I'm in better spirits...My sick sense of humor is back...I was thinking of baking a cake with lil smileys...But now I want them to be vampire smileys...Yep it's official I'm warped...I'll blame it on the Dr's...Ok laterz ya'll...
