Focus sidelined. Feeling stuck.

[magicalwoman 190]

I had my surgery on September 9, 2015. I was doing good losing about a pound a day. I've had increasing problems with Migraine headaches that have gotten to the point of waking me up out of a sound sleep.< /p>

My Dr. order an MRI and on October 14th it was discovered that I have 5 tumors on my brain.

Currently I am going through a ton of testing. The Dr. thinks these tumors growing on the meninges layer over the brain may have metastasis from another place in my body. I've had a mammogram, it was negative. Chest xray, it was negative, colon cancer fecal screening, negative. Today I am scheduled for a CT Scan of my chest, abdomen and pelvis with contrast. I am drinking this aweful berry fusion smoothie for the scan. YUCK.

My weightloss journey seems to have taken a backseat as my mind can only think of what is next, what do I do, and of course just feeling so lost.

I quit smoking in 2012, I've tried to eat better, healthier, lose weight, become more active and WHAM 5 brain tumors.

I can say there are times now that I almost feel defeated. Altough I know I am not, it can just get to you some days.

I am so sorry to hear this. I'm not sure if you're a praying person or not but I will say that I am praying for you. My grandmother was diagnosed with cancer a few months ago, had surgery and is well. We believe in the power of prayer but I can only imagine how difficult it must be to go through this, especially after making changes to fix your health.

God be with you and God bless.

I am so sorry to hear this and am praying, too.

I know you must be overwhelmed and scared.

I am so glad you were able to catch this now and can only believe that you are on the way to an effective treatment.

In my very humble opinion the best thing you can do is take care of yourself. Also, be sure and let your bariatric team know what you are going through so they can be part of your support in keeping you as healthy as possible through this.

Sending hugs. Please keep us posted on how you are doing.

I am so sorry you have having to endure this.

And on the other hand, your tumors might also be benign. I truly hope they are and/or that they are operable and that your cancer is completely treatable.

Very, very best to you!

I'm so very sorry to hear this. It must be a very unsettling and scary time for you and your family. Everything beyond taking care of yourself has to take a back seat now.

[The Candidate 3,215]

I know you are going through a lot, and I wish you only the best of health and happiness as you proceed through these difficult times.

So sorry to hear this. Sending good vibes & prayers for peace and calmness.

I'm so sorry to hear this. I can't even imagine having to deal with that and recovering from surgery. Take care of yourself, do what you need to do and keep us all posted.

My husband is a brain cancer survivor. It wasn't an easy road, but he made it. I wish you peace and strength.
