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

Thanks sweetie...... Monday is my deadline. To much to do to prepare in case I don't get to come right home...... Jim is a handful.....And I am getting laundry and such caught up. I figure a few more days won't kill me. I have the doctors note to the E.R. as to his concerns so it should be a breeze once i get there. thanks again.......

I will be thinking of you and your colon till I know you both are okay! (sorry, you didn't expect me to not TRY to make you laugh, did you?) I agree on the precautionary issues. Don't worry till you have a reason to worry. You'll only make your BP go up.

Wow...don't know what to say,Marji,except I'm thinking of you and wanting nothing but the best outcome. Scary as it may seem,you're doing the right thing getting treated ASAP.

yes Rob... I miss you by the way. To bad it took this much to make me sit up and pay attention. If I would have followed up last year I may be in better shape. ; )

Heads up, strong lady...we are surrounding you with warmth. x

I've missed you too,Marji. Please don't beat yourself up about before. That's done and gone. The point is you're doing all you can now,and your friends are as with you as we can be from the far end of the net.

I feel the warmth and love ! And it's awesome. You are right Rob, but it's hard with the old lady upstairs saying it's my fault for not getting it checked out and it's what I deserve. No worry's I am keeping my distance from her.

From the sound of things,you don't deserve the lady upstairs,the lady upstairs certainly doesn't deserve you and the Man Upstairs is going to be none too pleased with her if she doesn't mend her ways...
