renee_ky Posted August 7, 2004 Share Posted August 7, 2004 Cindy- Praying for Tom, and you. I know it is easier said then done, but PLEASE try not to worry about it too much, it could just be IBS or a stubborn pulp (sp?) that needs to be removed. The nurse in you does know to much, that is why you worry so much. The nurse in you also knows, it could be MANY other things. Saying a prayer for Tom!

Haylee_38 Posted August 7, 2004 Share Posted August 7, 2004 Saying a prayer for you both. My grandama was a colon cancer survivor. I also have a friend Miss y that had alot of blood in her stool. It turned out to be Chrones. I also had a co-worker and hers was just polyps. Keep us updated. Haylee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Margaret Posted August 7, 2004 Share Posted August 7, 2004 Cindy, Absolutely prayers for you all. Do not accept waiting until the end of the month...use whatever contact you or husband have. All you need is for a doctor to call for you...I have had scans moved, doctor appointments moved, etc. but always because one of my doctors has taken it on to get something rescheduled for me. I have tried on my own calling every day to ask about cancellations...have been told "oh, no one cancels," and then had the pleasure of calling that same person to cancel because I have gotten in elsewhere. You have to be the squeaky wheel sometimes. Blessings, Margaret Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ann Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 Cindy, I am keeping both you and Tom in my thoughts and prayers. I want to tell you not to worry but I know with your medical background that is an impossibility. Do everything you can to get that appointment moved up. Be persistent...yell and scream...and if all else fails...beg. That's how I got Dennis into MD Anderson two days after our family doctor found the chest xray very suspicious. There is nothing worse than the unknown. In addition, waiting can be absoultely terrifying. So, to easy both of your minds, try and get another appoinment, if even with another doctor. Praying for good news for you and Tom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teresag Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 Cindy, the nurse in me knows that we tend to think the worst with any symptom, esp. in the people we cherish. Please let us know what the tests show, but meanwhile remember that cancer is one of the less common causes of blood in the stool. I am praying for a simple answer for you and always praying for everyone here to my patron saint, St. Therese. Take care. - Teresa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nushka Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 Cindy, I am sorry Ididn't see this thread until now. I will add your husband to my list of those to be prayed for and agree with lots of the others that it can be lots of other things besides cancer. They haven't even done a colonoscopy yet. Keep calling about his apt. You shouldn't have to wait so long. Thinking of you. Nina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.C. Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 Cindy, I try not to miss posts, but I always do. I also always say prayers for those that may be in need of them, so I will keep on. J.C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
