Golden time is 2 1/2 weeks after surgery!

First I need to thank all of the great people hear who sent me such warm support. While I was waiting for my surgery..I have survived my second surgery ,has the use of my arm Yes! The tumors were growing around my main nerves that control your arm tounge & who knows what else. Then 11 more nodes,that total 41 all on one side. Doc said good thing we didn’t try waiting longer. The hard news was he very nicely explaind that he wishes he could say he got it all but,he can’t That it came back from pathology as hurthle cell & tall cell cancer. I think this tall cell thing is new I don’t like what I’ve read about the 2 together. Also he said that his primary concern is to pressure the quality of my life as much as possible , that it will be more frustrating as we go forward. I will be having surgerys that are much worse than what I’ve had.. Like a warning talk without the alam being set off lol
We have to laugh….
Next post I’ll explain what happened during my surgery I have no fear!
Many prayers & hugs
Carol

Dan, Paul threw a punch at your cancer.
Fred sent you a hug.

My oncologist kinda ruined my day before I even had my 2nd surgery by telling me that I would have more surgies down the road. Bad thing is he can’t guarantee when. 2, 5,..20 years down the road! Just a waiting game for pretty much the rest of my life! Gotta live one day at a time!

but it was so good to hear from you ! :) take care…

That’s good your doctor is honest with you, even when the news isn’t that great. I hate doctors that try and sugar coat things. I just want to know what’s going on and what we need to do to fix it!

You have a great attitude about your situation too: no fear!

I'm waiting for surgery ....

Hurry up and wait is how it’s going . Here at MSKCC waiting for my surgery for 3 hrs ! I’m hungry as hell and every one has started to really anoy me .. Why do they have you come in so early if they can’t take me I would love coffee French toast etc… Well soon I pray …Say a prayer for me my friends
Prayers to all Carol

8 people sent you a prayer.
Kathy, Marie sent you a hug.

Best of luck.

Hi Carol,
I hope you’re out of surgery by now, and that your surgery was successful. I remember that you have a couple more surgeries scheduled after this one. Take care.

Hope your surgery was a success! Wishing you a speedy recovery and that you get home soon

Hope all went well. Sending you lots of prayers.

hurry up and wait, story of my life too! Hope you have the fastest recovery ever, and get that french toast and coffee you deserve!

Hoping your surgery was a success.

Saying a prayer all goes well and you are eating all your favorite foods. Missy C
