Andrea

I am glad MRI was clear. She is 1 already??? I feel like our fertility e-mails were just yesterday!

I got the chills when I read your post. You are so articulate. I wish I could ease your pain or be with you for delivery. We will all be there in spirit cheering you on

You would be abnormal if you didn't feel that way. It is unfair and there are no answers. You have such a great attitude, it is so admirable. Hang in there

Sending love to Katie and family. Hunter is an amazing child.

I am so sorry

That is such a sweet story

Just wondering how she is doing.

I see what you mean, you can't be mad, but maybe disappointed. It just makes me angry how we sometimes have to be our own doctor. I posted a question similar to yours in August about my dad and the responses I got were that it depends on the agressiveness and grade of the tumor. I would assume you have those pathology reports somewhere? My dad's was very low grade, so it is slow growing, a few months would not have made any difference. I also know from the med mal defense work my firm does that a few months often would not matter unless it is an ultra fast grade. Maybe ask your oncologist what he thinks? I asked everyone on my dad's team just out of "curiousity" and they all also said it just depends, but his was too low grade to have made a difference in two months.

That just makes my blood boil. My dad had a chest xray in June, was told it was normal. Low and behold, looking back, his tumor was there, my dad was diagnosed in August (it was an incidential finding on an abdominal ct scan that showed lung base). We were told a couple of months in his case would not have made a difference. But if you have an aggressive tumor, maybe it could have. I am so sorry

My first thought was gall bladder, but you said the ultrasound was done. I hope it is nothing serious. I know someone who had severe severe pain and runs and it was diverticulitis which was easily treatable. Hang in there!

Call the doctor, always better to be safe. Sending good thoughts your way

Sending good thoughts your way

That is great news!

Wishing you peace

That is such great news!!! Congrats!

Your post was just what I needed. I am so glad you are not listening to the voices all the time. You are a true role model and inspiration. Thank you my friend.

I am so sorry for your loss

I wish I had words to take away your pain, I am so sorry.

Just a reminder, I am leaving for Hawaii Dec 31 and I will not return unil Jan 10, so I can't end orders out during that time

I am so sorry to hear that Sending peaceful thoughts for you and your family

I have the LCSC license plate frames on the front and back of my car that I got from here, the cafepress products under Buy Now forum, and my dad LOVES the baseball LCSC t-shirt from cafepress that is also under Buy Now. He has two and I am about to order him a 3rd There are fun products, so order away for a cure

I have ordered from them before too many times and I love the stuff. I wear the LC crystal necklace, the LC affirmation necklace, the HOPE cuff bracelet (my mom wears the SURVIVOR one). It is great. I also have sent gifts from there to others for all different types of cancers. Of course my favorite braclet is the Andrea B. bracelet which you can find in the Buy Now forum

Prayers that this is just a scare

If you feel it is right and the person is approachable, then it is the right thing to do. My mom and I did it once to a salesgirl However, I wouldn't want someone pulling a cookie out of my hands, so I think it is just a situation by situation thing. Good for you for following your gut!
