I am so sorry you are going through this; I know what it is like to face a cancer diagnosis and worry about what will happen to your family. I was diagnosed with uterine cancer in October and am the sole support of a mother with dementia and an autistic sister. Like you, I caught my cancer early without spreading outside the uterus. My six month check up was clear, but I don't think the fear will ever really go away. The Big C will always be lurking in my thoughts, but I determined not to let fear rule. I will be sending good thoughts your way; I think you will have had your follow up surgery by the time this goes out...All the best. Keep us up to date.

All of your prayers have been heard. Thank you so much. So here's the results...

We are lucky to find out that from what they could see on my stomach and pancreas it's looking like it was only the one tumor which has now been removed. I will follow up next week by swallowing a little pill that is actually a camera and will confirm whether or not the is anymore throught my whole digestive track.

Then I meet with the oncologist in Boston and will see what happens which all the bloodwork and tests I will have. then I just follow p every 6 months to make sure noting has grown back.

I am so incredibly happy and grateful :) thank for all the love and prayers!!! You guys rock!!!!!

Wow! This is actually a miracle that the tumors were found! This is life saving in itself! I know it is really scary and to look at your baby and think "I might not be here to see her growing up and see my grandchildren. " My thoughts are with you and I want you to have nothing but the best. Do you have a support person that you can talk too. It really helps to talk about what your going through.

I'm a 23 yr survivor of Lymphoma - I was 31 when it was found and had 3 young children. More people survive cancer than die from it!! Its a shock but you will get through this and thank God that you were going through all this testing so they could find it because your are right, going through an endoscopy is not something that a Dr would routinely do for a 25 yr old! We are here for you!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
