Guest guest Posted September 5, 2004 Report Posted September 5, 2004 Thank you. I am wondering. Has anyone else had a similar situation to mine? I hadn't heard of this before. I don't have an actual tumor but instead an area of normal and abnormal tissue. The skin is also thickened there. I just never heard of this before.Patty -----Original Message-----From: moochie@...

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2004 Report Posted September 5, 2004 I had to go and look. No, there is nothing like that. It looks pretty much like it always has.

It just seems, from what I have read that there is a huge difference in how many survive between stage 3 and stage 4. Is that correct? Patty, I couldn't help but jump in here. First of all, I think your assumption is generally correct that more people survive stage 3 than stage 4. But that's not the best focus. Let me gently suggest that THIS could be your focus: In every kind of cancer, there are spontaneous remissions. This includes cancers that are commonly very deadly, such as advanced melanoma skin cancers. We don't know why that happens, we just know that it does happen. You can talk about anything here that you need to talk about, and we will be here for you. But focusing on negatives will take away from your life, while focusing on positives will add to your life. We already know that there are miracle cures in the field of oncology. And I personally know that I believe in miracles. Therefore, I choose to believe that focusing on those things will be to my advantage. One of my favorite quotes from the Bible: Whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report, if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. (Philippians 4:8) Sending you comfort, big hugs, and serenity. Kathy in Tallahassee Quote
Guest guest Posted October 7, 2004 Report Posted October 7, 2004 Well-said Kathy - only focus on positives; don't need negatives right now. Quote
Guest guest Posted October 7, 2004 Report Posted October 7, 2004 I just wanted to add to Kathy's response that I have an aunt who had worshipped the sun all her life. She was always brown from it. She developed a melanoma (huge cancerous mole) on her knee, which got into her lymph system. She lost a breast. She had chemo. Was in remission a couple of years. It recurred. She chemo a second time. It was terrible. She nearly died. She is now 91 and in perfect, happy (albeit daffy) health except for alzheimers. It gives me hope, that I, too will survive even though I have an aggressive tumor. Janie > > I saw the surgeon on Mon and I am defintly stage 3 and possibly > stage 4.

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2004 Report Posted October 7, 2004 Well everyone handles things differently. I working with some alternative methods of treatment also. It is not easy to make really big life style changes and I use the "facts" and the accompanying fear to push me forward and assist in healing. So we all do things a little differently. Besides, I just inheritatly like to know the full facts. I want to know what I am really up against. Patty Re: Patty Well-said Kathy - only focus on positives; don't need negatives right now. Quote
Guest guest Posted October 7, 2004 Report Posted October 7, 2004 That is so very wonderful. I know that it can be beat and I do believe that I can beat it but I very much want to know just exactly what I am up against Patty Re: Patty I just wanted to add to Kathy's response that I have an aunt who had worshipped the sun all her life.
