[quote:Dr. Astro:MV8yMjA2ODYzXzM3NTI3MDM0X0UwQTcyNEQw] [quote:FatalW1shes:MV8yMjA2ODYzXzM3NTExNzExX0M1N0Y4MTU0] Ya'll are awesome. I wished I had more energy to respond to everybody. It's just friggen awesome how much caring and love is out there. It's overwhelming. By trade I'm an IT admin. My job is to fix anything and everything. I'm so used to fixing things and doing for others I've actually had to learn to relax and let others do something for me in return. It's been a learning experience. I really didn't understand peoples need to want to repay, or give back. After 13 years of giving people are wanting to give back. They want to help, do anything....it's simply mind blowing. I've never been selfish.....I rarely want anything in return and it's like years and years of this have been stored up and everybody wants to help. I'm like the luckiest person alive and didn't even know it. There is like zero chance to be sad and if happy cures cancer I should be done in a day lol. And this place, with many not even knowing me. It's just restored my faith in humanity. It's a good day ya'll. Got tears of joy on my cheeks, hyper positive, and just happy. I'm really tired, but it's a comforting I can sleep and rest all I need to tired. Awesome day ya'll. And everybody here is part of it. Thank you so much.

It's Lymphoma ...the good kind that can be cured we hope.
And it's big. It's 17 cm and inside my belly. The full pathology report has not come back yet and had the needle biopsy done Friday after I was admitted into the hospital.
I appreciate pregnant women a lot more now. When you have a big mass in your belly it really is hard to get comfortable.
It hurts. It takes up a lot of room in there and takes some good meds to keep the pain back. It felt like my back was on fire and a grenade went off in my stomach. I would rather have another kidney stone this hurt so bad.
I've had to have 3 units of blood as well because my hemoglobin was down to 6.9. and 2 iron infusions.
It's too big to operate on because it's wrapped around my stomach and small intestine.....looks like I had lap band surgery to my stomach it's so small. They have to shrink it to see what is the next step.
Biggest tumor I've ever seen and many the doctors have ever seen.
I'm scared and bored and GLP has been my home for years. I've not been posting much lately because the truth is I've been sick.
Just FYI, I had been swimming for 4 months and lost 32 lbs when this came about. I eat healthy, its just one of those things I don't understand. I started my first dose of Chemo last night and didn't sleep any and feel pretty wired.
