quankanne Posted December 4, 2002 Share Posted December 4, 2002 this sounds rather scary, but I've had friends who'd undergone the same procedure tell me that it turned out to be a simple cyst, with caffeine/diet as the culprit. A prayer goes out for your well-being, both emotionally and physically, Hokey-R Link to post Share on other sites
Author HokeyReligions Posted December 4, 2002 Author Share Posted December 4, 2002 Thanks All, I'm not that worried -- If it is cancer there is a decent survival rate and I'm pretty strong. Sounds silly, but what I dread most is that durn chemo and losing my hair! I look like a tick with short hair! Link to post Share on other sites

Author HokeyReligions Posted December 31, 2002 Author Share Posted December 31, 2002 Hi everyone. I had to postpone the biopsy because I ended up working late that day. I had a deadline that I had to meet and I was told right up front when I took this job that all deadlines must be met and the last few people who had the position were fired because of missing deadlines. So......... I am trying to reschedule the biopsy but the doctor now wants me to have some other tests before the biopsy. Apparently some of the tests I had before came back with "red flags" and this is going to be a more involved procedure than I originally thought because whatever it is has a high rate of being in the lymph nodes too. I may be able to get in this Friday. I hope so--I want to get this all over with. I'm starting to get a little scared now and my husband has been treating me like I'm made of glass (which isn't all that bad ) Link to post Share on other sites
