Had another doctor's appointment today, and it looks like I'm right back where I was 6 months ago. Waiting on the test results to be sure, but the doctor said it looks just like it did when he did my biopsy 6 months ago. My doctor's mother died from cervical cancer, so I know he's gonna be proactive on this. He is refusing to schedule my tubal until he knows what my test results show. He said if they are like they were last time, he's gonna do some "treatment." When I asked what kind of treatment, he just said that when we do my tubal, we'll just do a double whammy. He said he refuses to be in this position again in 6 months. I've already been dealing with it for more than 6 years as it is. It's gonna be a long week waiting to hear my results and hear what plans are for my surgery. I'm already scared enough about having the tubal, because I've only had my Essure done before. I'm worried about having my 2 kiddos and trying to recover from surgery, even if it is outpatient stuff. Trying not to stress though, because I don't want to stress eat. I've done really well with my healthier eating and all, and I lost 4 pounds in the last 2 weeks. That puts me at 7 pounds lost in about 5 weeks.
My sister is going through testing right now to try to find out if she has cancer. They don't have enough info from her blood tests to be sure, so she is going through lymph node scans and getting a bone biopsy later today. They ruled out luekemia yesterday when her white cell count went up, but they still want to eliminate other cancers. I totally feel for you, we went through this just 5 years ago when my dad was diagnosed with stage 3 esophageal cancer. I hope you can hang in there, I will add you to our prayers today! I don't know how you have been dealing with this for 6 years! One week of not knowing with my sister has been absolute Hell, and my dad's cancer was so advanced it was diagnosed and treatment started the same day. You must be a very brave woman!
Thanks for the support ladies. I knew that ya'll would understand and be supportive. I love how wonderful the ladies in this group are. It has been rough dealing with this for so long, but I'm doing my best to stay strong through it all. I've had sections of my cervix biopsied several times, and each time the doctor was sure he got it all, but it's like every time it grows back just as bad. I don't know what kind of "treatment" he plans on doing, but I know he's gonna make sure it's gone for good this time. I just wish my phone would ring with an answer today instead of next week.
yea the waiting game sucks! Hopefully he gets back to you sooner, and you can finally get some peace of mind with this whole situation.
