Asking for Prayers~possible cancer
My mind is going 100 miles per hour so please bear with me. I am asking for prayers for my health. I had a hysterectomy in Feb 2008 and the removal of my right ovary. The doctor told me that she couldn't find my left ovary and left it there. I had serious health issues which made the hysterctomy my only choice. I had a mass on my left ovary prior to surgery so I was quite surprised when she told me she couldn't find it. I know she was concerned b/c I had a total coloctomy (large intestine removed) and have an ilea anal J pouch (small intestine attached to rectum in the form of a J~~which was placed in backwards I've been informed~she was afraid of knicking my intestine or pouch and causing me to live with an ileostomy again. In May of 2008 I was having severe pain on my left side near my ovary, I went for ultra sounds and MRI's. The tests showed the mass has grown considerably in a matter of three weeks and the type of mass it is has a high probability of having cancer in the walls. I was scheduled for surgery at my local hospital Friday, Jan, 30th. I spoke with my new gyno and he referred me to Sloan-Kettering Cancer hospital for a third opinion. I have a consult with them on Jan. 29th. I sent them all my records (which is important to keep a copy of all operative reports, MRI's, pahtology reports) I request copies everytime I have something done. I am terrified now thinking the what if's. What if it is cancer? I had cervical cancer years ago and recovered from it fine. I am asking that you say a prayer for me, I believe in th power of prayer. I have over come so much and I feel my inner strength has diminished to the point that surgery terrifies me this time around. I have been on mporphine for my pain for atleast 5 years. I was just starting to wean off of it and I got hit with this. I am terribly depressed and find it hard to get out of bed. I am usually the smiling, bright, optomistic friend that cheers up everyone, and now I need some cheering up. I am frightened but afraid to let my family know how frightened I am. I always puton the brave front that I will be fine no matter what. I ask that you pray for me to regain my inner strength and see me through this trying time. Thank each of you that takes a moment to say a prayer. May God Bless each of you and may you surround yourself with the white light.
Light & blessings,
fallenangel
