Fay A. Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 My Oncologist is really sick with the crud I had last month and this month. So all of her patients have been cancelled and rescheduled for next week. Say a prayer, please, that she is feeling better soon, for her own sake as well as her patients. I was told her temp is over 103. I saw my Primary Care Doc today, and he told me that when there is only one area involved in the chest wall-pleura (and he doesn't think there are two tumors. He thinks one is a broken rib...and I think I agree with him) I may be able to have it surgically removed and the chest wall reconstructed along with the broken ribs removed. I sure hope so. The one tumor is just huge...and I'm hoping we can make it go away. I guess you could say I am cautiously optimistic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nancy B Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Fay, you are soooooo due to have things go your way. Please let me know what's going on and if I can help in any way. If you have surgery, where will it be? I am praying for only good things for you. Love and hugs, Nancy B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginnyde Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Fay, since you have more information than most doctors, if you are optimistic, that is good news. Hope they can wipe that tumor out and rebuild that whole area so that you are good to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cindi o'h Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Fay, It all starts with an idea, and I do like your PDoc's idea. Hoping your onc. gets well soon. Too high temperature for an adult. Hang in there, Fay. Cindi o'h Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connie B Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Get Well Wishes for your Doc. I hope they can get rid of this tumor too! However, I am glad to hear the doc thinks the other one is just a broken rib! The things we think are good!!!! Hip Hip Hooray for a broken rib!! Still saying my prayers for you my friend! I never stop! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhutch1366 Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Fay, I'd be happy to welcome you to the sisterhood of the goretex chest wall in leiu of ribs. No, you don't set off airplane metal detectors. My mother's hips do that. I'm missing a bunch of ribs, and I've grown to like the goretex... it's lightweight.... Prayers...

shineladysue Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 Fay, Sending many prayers for your doctor and you. Your positive attitude is my inspiration. Love and Prayers, Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don M Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 Fay: I hope your oncologist has a speedy reovery and that your can get that tumor removed and have a brand new chest wall installed. I know that would be my choice. I think you have had more surgery than any of us. Don M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carleen Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 Oh Fay! I just love seeing your optimism. You are an inspiration, and I just feel in my heart that you will come through this without that big bad tumor and with and new high-tech bionic chest wall. I don't know if it will help you run 6o miles and hour like the bionic woman, but maybe you will be able to huff and puff and blow my house down. I am saying many many prayers for you to get your treatment, for your doctor to feel better soon, and for a successful surgery for you. My hands are crossed in prayer, my fingers are crossed in hope, and I will be braiding a section of my hair, keeping those strands crossed until I hear from you to do otherwise. We love you Fay!

ellakc2 Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 Praying for you Fay. My whole family including myself had that, so called crud, over the holiday's. Two of my grandchildren devolped pneumonia. Not fun. Good luck and take care. Love, Mare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carolhg Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 I certainly hope that your doctor can remove that tumor that has caused such problems. I also hope that the new chest wall will be comfortable and pain free for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
