Thoughts for Sandy
I'm posting the following for Sandy with her permission here so her friends on the forum can keep her in their prayers:
Hi everyone, I'm here this morning to request the prayers of all my friends. I go to the dr tomorrow to schedule surg. I have a mass on my left ovary that the radiologist says is possible cancer.he says it needs to come out and be biopsied. From that they will stage it and I will decide whether or not to have chemo. I won't be on here much anymore but I will try to keep you posted on my progress. I am trying to get everything in order such as funeral planning, will etc so that my husband will have very little to do. And most of all I am working hard at homeschooling my dtr and getting her through fourth grade before my time comes. I'm sorry to start the week out with sad news, but I really need all the prayers that I can get. Thanks

Dear Sandy, I'll second everything Sylvia said. I won't go into my family history, but the diagnosis is not automatically fatal. Sweetie, as I've told you unknowingly before, you have the courage and determination to homeschool your daughter, which proves that you're a fighter. I know this has to be overwhelming right now and it's easy to give into the fear, but with anything in life, even our Michael says so: you have to be positive. I haven't always been this positive and I know it can be a struggle, but in the long run, being positive feeds your soul to help your body. Besides, if you worry now, you worry twice: now and later. If you try to be positive now, you will have saved all that "good" worry for your daughter, 20 years from now... :D Our thoughts are with you sweetie and thanks for sharing your load: lean on us! :D Big warm bear hugs to you, sincerely, Sylvie Qc Canada xxx

Hi Sandy and so, so sorry to hear what you are going through and definitely you are in my thoughts but Sandy please try and be positive, even just a little bit, for a lot of lumps are not cancerous.....doesn't always mean because of where they are or because of the size they have become that they contain what I call those "little buggers" so, please, please, please keep that thought somewhere in your heart and I do hope, I really do, that the news after your surgery, is exactly that. I will tell you that a girl that is on this site, although not active now, but I am still in touch with her, went through exactly the same thing and had a tumour the size of a baby's head on one of her ovaries.....it was NOT malignant and she was operated on in April and is practically back to 100% now and if it is cancerous, once they remove it all and you go through chemo and possibly radiation, as a lot of women have done, that in a year or two you will start to put it all behind you. There is a girl on this site who has gone through that and who, coming up to two year's ago now, thought it was over but she went through it and I won't lie, she was very ill going through the chemo but she came through it and has not long ago come through her radiation treatment because, like you, she has a daughter and she was determined she was going to give it all to have the right to see her daughter grow into a beautiful woman and she has fought for that right so come on Sandy, if the worst comes out of it today, you become determined to fight for that right and always remember where there is life there has to be HOPE and you have to try and cling onto that as much and as hard as is possible.
Sending every good and strong vibe that I can across the Pond to you Sandy and of course will be thinking about you today and too will be saying, my own, little prayers.
Sylvia. Your wee Scottish friend.

Thank you so much Sylvia. I know I should be more positive, but being a nurse since 1988 I have seen a lot. And I know just enough about it to drive me crazy. I appreciate your prayers and kind words.

Sandy, you are exactly right here. Sometimes knowing too much about something before you really know about your particular case can be a real negative thing! I did this when I was diagnoised with breast cancer year before last! It wasn't fun but nothing like I was reading about before hand either. Each person is different I found so having a good, positive attitude (although hard) is your best defense right now! Thinking about you and keep us informed! Gail

Dear Sandy,I read your story and want to share mine.I know you're scared but you need to be strong and never give up.A year ago I found out I had breast cancer and it was bad.I had surgery,chemotherapy,radiation and now I'm on a 5 year plan of medication to prevent a new tumor.I was scared too,cried a lot but I'm fighting everyday to win this battle.You need to be positive and believe that you will get better because your family needs you and life is beautiful.I´m 47 and have 3 kids and had much support from my family and wonderful friends in this forum.I had good and very hard days but i´m here still enjoying as much as I can and dreaming with a Michael's concert again.You will be on my daily prayers but have hope and take good care of yourself,miracles happen everyday!Please let me know how you're doing and I'll be here if you need to talk.God bless you Sandy and have faith.A big hug from Portugal
:) Silvia PS
