Wow, it has been a while. I have undergone (is that a word?) some nasty and embarrassing tests, have seen my main man for 3 weeks,used up all of my vacation, had my daughter start back to school, turned down 2 job offers and interviewed for one since I last wrote. It seems like a lifetime to some, but just a blink of my eye to me. The nasty tests first. Had something called a pre-sacral lesion. What the heck is that? Went to the surgeon and he told me "Well the first thing we think of when we see that is sarcoma". Well, that is not the FIRST THING I THOUGHT OF. I did not think cancer right away but did after my primary doc and my surgeon (Yikes...my surgeon's name is Doctor Needle by the way) expressed ideas that it may be just that I got scared. I had a biopsy on July 14 and it was a breeze, but humiliating (how does one get to the area between the sacrum and the rectum anyway?). Mercifully you are asleep. The biopsy was negative. Now the docs are saying the lining of the cyst can become malignant. HUH?
Main man is in Kuwait. He only comes home once a year. NOT ENOUGH!!!
I need some time off. If I can get it I will let you know. I only know that I cannot stand the thought of being sick, so no matter how I feel I will always go to work. My only hope is the lottery... Pray for me!! Thanks all
