Posted: Mon Mar 08, 2010 8:04 am Post subject: Not around as Much |
|
|
I haven't been around as much of late and would like to apologize.
About 4 weeks ago my daughter was diagnosed with possible lung cancer, and I have been dealing with that. And then my beloved cat Cactus had to be put down after 14 wonderful years of love, and for some reason this has hit me very hard.
Some may think it silly to greive a cat, but he has been my most devoted companion the last 10 years and things are very empty with him gone.
I haven't felt much like contributing things, but am getting back to normal slowly.
To help things, we got the news today that my daughter has a non malignant polyp in her right lung. They will be performing surgey and removing the top 10 percent of her lung to make sure that they have it all.... relatively invasive surgery, but the Dr. is confident this is the best route. _________________ For every person with a spark of genius, there are a hundred with ignition trouble. |

My thoughts and prayers are with you. even though I'm not a cat lover I do understand your relationship with your friend of 14 years, my life has been turned upside down also,I lost my father on Feb 18th a week later his sister was put in the hospital with heart blockage and if that wasn't enough we found out yesterday that my mom's sister past away.my dad had battled cancer for 6 years and the one thing he would always say was "One day at a time" these words I live by every day.God bless |

Thank you SG1 for your words of support.
I'm sorry to hear about the loss of you father. My mom passed away Nov 16th, so I know how hard that can be. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.
They did another scope of my daughter last night, and the good news is that there is no change to the lump. Based on this the Dr says that he is thinking that it is a non malignant tumour, or polyp. They took another biopsy and sent for more tests. BAsed on this they will opt to either emove just the mass, or the upper 10 - 15% of her right lung. While the second alternative is more invasive, he said it is the best choice for a non reoccurance. _________________ For every person with a spark of genius, there are a hundred with ignition trouble. |

Thank you all very much for your kind words of support. We're still waiting for the last biopsy results. She as been back to the Dr. again since then , and he has again reassured her that the chance of this being malignant is very very slim. As he put it She has a better chance of winning the lottery, than she does of this being maligant. We all have fingers and toes crossed, but it is looking better each day _________________ For every person with a spark of genius, there are a hundred with ignition trouble. |

Just catching this as well, and support goes out to you as well. It's a lot to deal with over the same period time, and I would be the last to minimize the loss of a pet as well. They often become family members in and of themselves. The news about your daughter sounds encouraging though, despite the potential invasiveness, and I wish you every success in pulling through these difficult circumstances. I'm sure you'll both come out the other end smiling, or at least such is my hope. |
