Guest guest Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 What Trumps Hepatitis? Cancer does! For me, anyhow. My doctors have now confirmed my cancer diagnosis. They even went a step further. They confirmed not just that I have numerous tumors on my liver, but also in my bones. Throughout my skeletal structure, from my skull down to lower extremities, including my ribs, spine, etc. The source of these cancer cells is, most likely, my colon. That part will be confirmed (or disproven) on Monday. Metastatic cancer, the kind that likes to travel! So, my priorities have changed quite a bit. For now at least I am no longer a hepatitis patient. I am now a cancer patient. I will be seeing my oncologist in a couple of weeks, and starting my chemotherapy some time after that. I will be unsubscribing from Hepatis Central shortly. I hate to do that, but it is necessary. I just can't keep up! Anyhow, what I need now is Cancer Central. I've signed up for one cancer list so far; if anyone has suggestions about cancer lists I'd like to hear them. I'm really going to miss people here. I've made a lot of friends. But, it's not as if the only way to stay in touch is through the list! Also, if people are interested I can always ask someone to post an update to the list. It is going to be a long haul and tough battle for me, that much I know. I will be back, of course. I mean, how else could I get back in touch with my inner gnome? *s* After I get rid of the cancer I'll still have my Hep C to deal with. Hep C, which we refer to as our Dragon. I guess I should come up with a name for my cancer. I think I'll think of it as my Balrog. Lord of the Rings fans will know what I'm talking about. The rest of you, just do a search on Balrog, or Balrog picture. He is a mean looking sob. Reading over this email it sounds like a real downer! But, don't go thinking I'm just going to roll over and let " it " have it's way. I'm already fighting back, got some books on cancer, eating and exercising, repeating my mantra to myself as I ride my exercise bike " kill the cancer " " kill the cancer " , " kill the cancer. " I wish all of you well, speedy cures and good health! Ray (raynoname) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 19, 2004 Report Share Posted June 19, 2004 Ray, We love you honey! Never forget that ok? Please get Arleen to give you a big ol' hug for me. I will keep an eye on you, you know that! LOL! Balrog be damned, you will slay him! Rather than unsubscribing, how about just put yourself on " no mail " for a while. You might find that you miss our ugly mugs and our really bad jokes and might like to pop in from time to time to let us know how the dragon slaying goes. Please? I WILL be emailing soon! <snicker> anne What Trumps Hepatitis? What Trumps Hepatitis? Cancer does! For me, anyhow. My doctors have now confirmed my cancer diagnosis. They even went a step further.

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2004 Report Share Posted June 19, 2004 Ray , you will be in my prayers daily. Keep that positive attitude. For the rest of us a good reminder of the proverb " I cried because I had no shoes, till I saw the boy who had no feet. " Good luck and God bless you.
