Cancer Scare

2tiredmom · 08-07-2012, 05:29 PM

Thanks everyone, She did mention cancer when she heard my symptoms. But she felt around and she said she didn't feel any thing different. Tonight I am so bloated it's not funny. I look like I'm 5 months pregnant. But then it could be my
ulcerative colitis too. So go figure. Will find out soon enough. As soon as I know I will post here. Thanks for reading and the encouragement.

The wait sure is hard. I remember when gary was told he had cancer on two separate occasions. It is very hard to think about the possibilities. But you have so many explanations for the symptoms that it is very unlikely to be cancer. I've been thinking about you. Waiting till the 22nd is hard, I'm sure.

It will be hard to wait until the 22nd. I've been praying for you. I agree with Gayle....it could be a lot of other things besides cancer. I'd be a little upset with my doctor for telling me that and then making me wait that long.....knowing that I'd be worrying about it. Hugs, Linda!!!

YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES!!! I don't think some docs have a clue what they are doing to people when they say things like that and then the patient has to wait such a long time to get an answer. I bet if that had ever happened to that doctor, she wouldn't do it again to anyone else.

Gayle.....maybe you should be teaching some things to doctors too!!!

You should watch (we all should watch) an old movie called The Doctor. William Hurt is the lead actor. It is a good story of his diagnosis of throat cancer and then his journey through the health care delivery system. It really opens his eyes to a side of medicine (and not a good side) that he never knew existed, even though he was a doctor. It should be required viewing for EVERY health care professional, and patients will relate to almost every situation.

I remember that movie, but I haven't thought of it in years. It was very good!
