Thanks everyone for your words of support. I'm still "in the closet" with this IRL until we have some more definite information...can't go freaking out the family yet. So it really means a lot to have my online village to turn to. xxx
Most definitely Pregpan! Just had a dark chocolate apricot number that was Mmmmmmmmmm! LOL:
Is it time to crack open the Haighs?
MD, wishing with all my might that this is just nothing! I'm glad you can turn to us, and Haigh's, for moral support. :hug:
Hi there,
:hug:
I have looked after many women who have chosen to have elective cosmetic breast work done, and during the procedure have been found to have breast cancer. Suddenly their lives are turned on their heads. Hopefully you can try and remain relaxed while further testing is going ahead.
I work in Oncology, and give treatment to people with lymphomas, so if you have any questions about anything, don't hesitate to ask.
Good luck :hug:
Massive hugs and positive vibes are being sent your way honey. :grouphug: I will be thinking of you and imagining a beautiful bright white healing light enveloping whatever it is and taking it away quickly and quietly.
:comfort: MD hope you get good results. Sending positive vibes.
MD thank god for the younger, nice doctor who pushed your surgery forward. I know it will all work out fine, when will you find out more? I will be thinking of you MD.
Wow, what a day you have had. I think the title is very fitting!!! I reckon no googling for you on any topics starting with L OK, you are just going to freak yourself out. Go and spend this week pampering and detoxing yurself so you feel 100% to tackle whatever comes your way. You are such a strong awesome woman!
Have you realy not told anyone IRL? Have you got someone to go with you to the appointments?
Thinking and praying for you.
I agree no googling! I convinced myself I had chlymidia that way when I was a teenager lol.
:hug: you poor thing, that must've been such a shock. I don't know what to say except I know a few people who've had cancer and they all recovered and are healthy now. Has the hossy offered you some kind of counselling service?
SaraM- too late! Had to have a very quick google, just to get on top of definitions - and to check my understanding of what the dr said. Have promised myself NO MORE. Not until I really know what I'm dealing with.
I rang my sister last night - she is my soul-mate on this journey through life, every thing we have ever healed or overcome we have done together. DH will come with me to the surgeon's appt on Thurs, and then if I get a referral for oncology, my sister will come to appts with me.
I feel so blessed that this has happened when and only when we have moved "home". We have one of the world's best oncology hospitals here not to mention the love and support of family and friends. I cannot imagine how awful it would have been to be sitting in a hospital room in Canberra hearing the news. Part of me knows that no matter what, the universe/God/namelesslivingsource holds me up. Every day of my life.
Nurse 27 - thank you for your kind offer. I will PM you with questions if and when I have them! :hug:
Neenee - So true. The man who moved my furniture into my house stood in my lounge room and told me he had lymphoma cancer when he was younger, 18 years later he's standing in my lounge room talking about how much he loves life. LOL There are no accidents in life.
holey flirkin' snirt MD.
i just don't know what to say really. EXCEPT: eat the damn haighs woman; surround yourself with loads and loads of positive energy and love; and know that as little as i am and faraway, i am here for you and you are in my thoughts and am sending you truckloads of positive healing vibes.
we love you babe xx and i hope the mods dont change the title...it's like totally how i would condense that kind of news.
MD, I cannot believe it! I know if someone else were in this situation you would have the perfect words to make them feel better but all I can say is that I am thinking of you and hope with every part of me that it is the best case scenario for you.
Please let me know if there is anything I can do
Keep Zen

Oh MD *hugs*
I'm glad you have your sis there to support you, and that your DH is going with you to the docs to get results.
*hugs* and hopes/prayers that its good news for you.
I am going to see my guru-teacher-man today. Want to get my head sorted before I see the Dr again tomorrow. So it's kind of handy having my own personal shaman to turn to at moments like this. Apart from the scariness factor, I feel like someone has wedged a huge firecracker up my bum. To a certain extent, I have used having a baby/young toddler as an excuse to hide away from life instead of getting out there and embracing it fully. The reality is there is No Time to Waste, regardless of what the doctor says tomorrow, good or bad.
I hope its good MD - will be thinking of you
xxooxx
md great attitude - and i hope the guru helps get your head in a good place....
am thinking of you. i hope tomorrow goes well. xxx
OMG! That would've been a huge shock!
You'll get through this hun & we are all here backing you 100% all of the way!
Don't you forget it!
Thinking of you
xx
Good luck md! :) Hope your guru-teacher-man (;)) comes through for you and you are feeling good tomorrow
Oh MD - I was lost for words when I first read your post - and I still am.
But big hugs. I know you are a very strong woman and you will get through this.
Good luck tomorrow MD...Will be thinking of you.
I hope you get some wonderful words of wisdon, comfort and advice from your guru.
MD - thinking of you and keeping everything crossed for you.
Unfortunately it takes big things to make us realise this, to many of us (me included) stop grabbing life and opportunities as they present themselves...:
You know you have tonns of support here and whatever the news, tomorrow is a new day and a new chance to do something new or fun or silly :)
Take care hun
Oh MD, I'm so so sorry to hear your news. My heart has just leapt into my throat. I am hoping with all hope that it is treatable, and am sending healing energy your way.
Keep that wonderful positive energy going, and remember that when it seems too much, I'm here for you. :hug:
Good Luck with your appointments MD
We are all thinking of you
wishing you all the best for your appointments and scans etc - positive vibes all the way for you

Hope everything went well with your guru-teacher-man :-) and all the best with your Dr appointment today. We are all on eggshells waiting for some good news for you.
I don't know why but I have been avoiding this thread but my curiosity got the better of me...
So just wanted to pass on lots of positive and healing vibes, love your attitude and you are an inspiration to me. Hoping you have good news today. :hug:
Thinking of you constantly Md. I hope you have some positive news today. :pray:
I only just read your post sweety. MD I wish you all the best for this journey hon.
thinking of you md xoxo
Well I saw the Head Honcho Surgeon again today, to get the CT scan results. All clear, all good. :D :D :D I'm sooooo relieved. I had been terrified he was going to say it was all through my liver (I have fatty liver issues and so get discomfort in that area of my body on a frequent basis). Plus my sister reminded me today that my Grandma died of liver cancer. I knew that at the time, had sort of forgotten, I think that might have been playing on my subconscious too.
This is only the first step along the way. They have referred me to the oncology unit, where it's likely I will have a bone marrow biopsy (lovely procedure involving a thing that looks like a t-shaped corkscrew done under a local :o) and hopefully that will be ALL CLEAR. Regardless of whether it is or not there's a good chance I'm in for some chemo too. Or plenty more poking and monitoring over a period of time. I'm also having an ultrasound and a needle biopsy on a lumpy bit of boob (not likely to be remotely related but from now on I'll be a nervous nellie about these things). Just to be on the safe side.
Apparently the lymphoma was growing all through the wall of the gallbladder - which is very rare and weird. They gave me a picture of it (souvenir postcard LOL) - had a great time showing everyone up at the hospital! LOL The gorgeous nurse who looked after me after my surgery was working there today, so again I felt really supported and looked after. I don't remember seeing her last week, I was in complete shock that day.
My own feeling is that this will be ok. I had the briefest snatch of a glimpse of my long life rolling out before me for years to come, yesterday when I was on the way to see my guru-teacher-man. I am also now very aware of the dynamics in my life that caused this dysfunction to manifest in that part of my body. There are some really important changes that I need to make - to be more present, day to day, and to get real with myself about my purpose on this earth. I know what it is and I've been hiding from it for the last 5 years. Time to push myself out of my safety zone. I'm hoping that if I learn this lesson well enough now, the universe won't see fit to shout even louder to get my attention!
So glad to hear your good news MD... :cheer:
You are a wise woman - listen to your heart & your inner voice. They rarely are wrong! I understand well the shout of the Universe. I hope you have heard what you need so this lesson will pass and leave you healthy and well... :hug:
Yay on the good results. Hopefully it is the start of more.. All good ones.
I guess it has made you think about every single part of your life and analyze everything. Hope your journey continues to be brighter from now on.
:hug::hug::hug:
md - wrote in our thread, but just want to comment on how wise you are. Do you think you could be MY guru-teacher-friend?
Marydean - what fantastic news! I hope it continues to get better and congratulations on your postitive outlook on life - you are amazing!
Oh MD, I am so relieved and happy for you. This is really great news hun and I love your attitude! :hug:
So relieved for you MD :)
Hope it is the beginning of a very short friendship with the oncology department ;)
And good luck grabbing hold of that mission too
