I'm sorry to hear about Babs. My mom went through cancer and tumors for many years. But she kept her head up the whole time saying that it wasnt going to take the best of her. And it didnt. She recovered. Just keep your faith and remember, he will not put any more on you than you can handle. Much love to you and your family. You will be in my prayers.
It always seems that I am at a loss for words when I hear that someone is sick. I am sorry to hear you are not feeling well and I will most definitely keep you in my prayers.
Well we went and seen the neuro surgeon this morning. They are going to remove the tumor on her pituitary gland, they will go and get it through her nose. But first they want to rule out a few more things, they want her to go see a neuro opthamologist on Friday.
I am doing the best I can, considering I have been in nothing but pain 24/7 for the last 3 weeks. I have another appointment tomorrow morning hopefully I can get news on when they are planning on removing my tumor. When I get more info I will update.
This may be gross, but I wanted to post an actual MRI picture of my tumor. Rob circled it and used an arrow to indicate where it is. By the MRI, you can see that the tumor is located behind my eyes. 1.5" cm tumor I have there. The size of a good size cherry. They say it's a pretty big one! No wonder it causes me so much pain.
News from the endocrinologist came in. I failed my stimulation test that I had done. I am now taking hormone replacements and will be for the rest of my life.
We now have the surgery information that we have been waiting for. Surgery WILL BE January 17th at 7:20 am.
But before I can go in for surgery, I have tests lined up on the 8th, which will be a CAT scan and MRI. On the 9th, I have to have more blood work done, an EKG and a chest xray, to make sure that my heart is good to go for anesthesia.
Thank you SO much for the comments, well wishes, pm's and prayers.
Babs,
Lots of love and sunshine sent your way! I sat stunned, thinking of all you are required to face, so unexpectedly. It sounds as if you are receiving top notch, thorough care and best of all have the love of a good man which can be as potent as any medicine as far as I am concerned!
My heart feels sure that you will handle this with flying colors~I will pray hard that the pain subsides ASAP.
Feel better soon~we need your bright and shining "voice" here on Spoofee to make all of us feel better everyday.
Wow Babs, I'm sure the waiting is the worst. I so feel for you and wish there was something I could do other than keep you in my prayers. Keep the faith, at least you found it and it is treatable. You're going to be okay.
Everything is going to be okay, toots. :hug: I'll be glad when you are back to your old self because we have dirt to do! So hurry, it's no fun doing dirt all by myself! LOL I hope that put a smile on your face and you know I'm always praying for you. :hug: :hug:
