I have cancer

Happy Birthday!!

And may your birthday wishes come true

This fucking sucks.

I got my final Pathology and Pet Scan results...

It's bad. The PET scan showed more than just the big tumor, it's everywhere in my abdomen...mesenteric lymphnodes,...several loops of the small intestine ....pancreas,..



It's also the most aggressive called Burkitt's

It's still curable but the RCHOP Chemo is out. I have to take the most aggressive dose they have and it has to be done in the hospital.

So starting May 6 I go back to Harris Hospital for Chemo for a week a time

It's a new Treatment developed at MD Anderson called Hyper CVAD.

I just want to curse and say "this sucks" and throw a pity party but it won't do any good.

I'm still curable it's just gonna suck.

I have to do 8 treatments.

They are talking about bone marrow transfusions and blood transfusions and I'm like this is just insane.

I would rather not do a bone marrow transfusion if I don't have to but it's on the table and we have to consult with a specialist.

This sucks. It's all I can say.

u must pH balance UR body.
cancer is said to be a fungus but whatever it is, it THRIVES in acidic environment.
it cannot live in a balanced pH system.

google apple cider vinegar.
a shot a day (in juice to cover the taste)keeps the doctor away and corrects the pH.

please google it.
there is no reason U have to suffer.

My hair is coming out.

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.

Happy belated Birthday FW!

I also have cancer, every time I go back to the doc things keep getting worse.
For 6 months I have been eating right and taking many supplements known to cure cancer.

I have to go back may 22 for an MRI ... I hope and pray the tumors in my pancreas and liver are gone.

My breast and ovaries also have tumors now. It's just overwhelming some days.

It's the emotional part that really gets to me. I act all brave and strong in front of my family, friends and docs but when I am alone I break down.

I do not want to die yet. My daughter is pregnant, I am only 49 and I really want to finish school.

My medical bills are piling up even with good insurance. One office visit to the Cleveland Clinic is over $600.

Oh Lord! You poor thing. This is really sad and all I can do is hope that your MRI shows that you are getting better.

I have everything crossed for you. You are really special trying to keep everything to yourself. Respect and loads and loads of best wishes to you. I hope you have someone to talk to who knows something about your situation.
