My appointment today .......... | Marji's Blog


 I am  posting this friends only, and I am posting it because I don't  want to tell over and over again. 

 Today Jim and I both  had appointments today at the doctors.   He was in  the room next to mine and we were playing on the phones to each other (our cells) and peeking out the door  at each other. It was really comical. 

 The doctor saw him  first.   

 Then it was my turn.   I had  went last year and the doctor called to say he wanted to discuss something in my blood test.  I blew it off.   

 Today, my blood pressure was 180/100....... then he walked in and first thing he says to me is..... "so you are having difficulty with your colon cancer"?       

 I  had told  them about the blood in my stool  so maybe that's where he got the colon thing.    

 He went on to tell me last year what he saw was a very high CA125 ?    Cancer  screen.   

 He has ordered me  to go to E.R. and tell them I have blood in my stool and he wrote out an order for a colostomy.

 He  wants me there.... like now.    

 I am so afraid and trying to stay calm ...... Needless to say, I'm not going today.    I just need to digest and  I don't know  what.  

 I don't want  sympathy I just  want my friends to wish good thoughts, pray... what  ever you believe in, please send it my way !  

 I love ya'll and I'll keep you posted.  

My mood: pretty courageous

My sweet kiddies ... you give me such hope and strength you just don't know. Jesytna, yes I am aware of the hemorrhoid thing..... but the blood tests are what's got me scared along with the glass in my stomach. Thats the best way I can describe it.

I know Ames...... and I am sorry to be laying this on you at such a time where you are very unsettled yourself. If you feel the need to step away, I'd understand. No Bob... feels like it ! I had a hysterectomy to remove a tumor and it had attached to my colon and liver. They had to cut some away.... : ( Lots of crap for this old girl. I am tired ! But I am blessed ! My main concern is for my beloved Jim.

If it makes you feel any better, It's completely painless. I got some sleepy med's and went right out, not hard core anesthesia. It only takes a few min. and you will not feel a thing. HTH a bit :)

*sigh of relief* Thank you Ames... I will need your kick in t he *** down the road I am sure. IVFP, yeah I knoooow ! I had one 25 years ago after being raped in the bumm by an ex over a weeks time ... I had the bleeding and such.... ended up with an acute infection of t he colon, which has me afraid to add to all this scare. But the shot of valium was unforgettable. : /
