I'm having a bit of a difficult time, so here goes. Dr. came in this morning and informed me that cancer cells were found in the biopsy.

Here are the scenerios:

Cancer completely removed with what was already taken out - slim chance

Cancer in lymph nodes surrounding area - need kemo or radiation - likelly

Cancer spread and may need another surgery - possible

As my husband and mom are already falling apart, dr. agreed we don't tell them until further test results, which he is trying to rush today. Currently, he is keeeping me heavily medicated, cause I'm havinng a little trouble dealing myself. My sister and my brother know, and now all of you. I had to get this off my chest.

I'm still having mild complications with the current surgery and leg, now cancer. They say God doesn't give you more than you can handle, i just don't think I am this strong. because I don't feel like i'm handling this very well.

Depending on how things go, I may not be around CF much, just to poke in. As my health conditions become more diagnosed, my family will have them on FB, so anyone with a FB account can check there and please feel free to share.

Everyone take care and I'll be in touch.
 
OH BEV... I am sooooooooooo sorry you are dealing with all this misery!! I would hope they would do a double check! I know it is shocking but see if they can double check, some test have known to be wrong!

Big hugs, I am going away for a week so hang in there sweetie!!!!!
 
Dear Bev

I really don't know what to say, only that I'm upset and worried about you hun.
Thinking of you through this difficult time, hope they give you answers soon, and you could also do a re check?
love as always
xxxx
 
oh Bev, sweetheart... i don't know what to say. it's times like these when i'd just like to be able to give you a big hug.. and not have to speak.

as it is, words are all i have here.. so i just want you to know i & my family are sending our love, our wishes that you will turn that corner soon and that you'll start hearing good things which you can then share with all your friends here.

you know i don't pray... but my best freinds belong to a prayer group, where the members pray for named people on their list at the same time, every weekend, all over the world. your name is on the list, Bev.

xxxx
 
Oh Bev, I'm so sorry to hear the news. I'll keep the prayers praying for you. Please keep us updated even if it's just a quick note. I hope you don't need any more surgery. God bless
 
*Silver knows not what to say, so she just sits quietly with Bev and holds her hand... just to let her know she is there.....*
 
Oh Bev, I'm so sorry to hear the difficult news. God has its mysterious ways to test us but you are strong and have a loving family and friends. Please keep us updated and I hope you don't need any more surgery.
 
Bev - I don't know what to say - you have already been through so much. Just know I am thinking of you and wishing you nothing but the best in this incredibly difficult situation.
 
Oh, Bev. I don't even know what to say. I am so, so sorry to hear this. Please keep us updated when you are able. I will continue to keep you in my thoughts.
 
Dear Bev, I'm thinking about you, praying for you, and caring about you.
 
You've made quite an impact on this forum Bev and we're all here for you wishing you a speedy recovery with whatever is being thrown at you. You are strong enough especially with all of our thoughts and prayers backing you. I know we'll see you back here soon Bev.

*Joins hands with Bev, Silver, Paso and everyone else in a circle of prayer*
(I don't pray but I do know that every little bit counts)

Sorry to hear this sad and unfortunate news. Even if they do think they removed all the cancer I highly recommend asking for a total colectomy. A few years back I went to a crohns conference and they had an oncologist talking about the incidence of cancer in crohns patients and how it is treated. The recommendation then, and probably now, was to have the colectomy to prevent recurrence of the cancer. I know this isn't exactly good news, but I want your well being kept at the front of this and to minimize any future surgeries as well as to prevent you suffering again the future. Make sure to get at a minimum a second opinion (even with the insurance issues) so you can have the best treatment options for your current and longterm well being.

I don't pray, but you will be in my thoughts for a speedy recovery. Good luck and I hope for the best for you.

Bev, I'm really sad to hear this news as well. I'm keeping you and your family in my prayers. I know God is listening to all these prayers and thoughts people are sending out for you! I'll be keeping up with you on Facebook. (((((HUGS)))))

I am really sorry to hear about this recent turn of events. It looks like things are moving quickly so try not to jump to conclusions and just take things moment by moment.

We will all be thinking of you and hoping and praying for the best.

Oh god Bev how heartbreaking for you and your family. It is hard but try to take each day as it comes until you know exactly what you are dealing with. Rest is good so take whatever medication you can to achieve that and if it is all a blur for a few days then that's fine, plenty of time for reality later. My heart, prayers and well wishes go out to you Bev and your family.......................................


:hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug::hug:


:hang: and always thinking of you Bev.

Bev
Just wanted you to know that I am thinking of you, it's heart wrenching to hear and I hope you can get through hour by hour and day by day. Sending you lots of hugs and kindness.:hug::hug::hug:
 
Oh man Bev, my heart aches for you. I really hope that everything will be okay, and you are in my thoughts. Big hugs.
 
Wow, the support, love, thoughts and prayers that are linked together through tis thread is phenomonal. I really needed this. We had a family meetiing last night with myself, my husband, my daughter, my son & his wife, our family dr. and the cancer physician.

there were 21 llympf nodes removed all stestee postivie for cander. alon witth with crhons scar tiissue was a tumor, apprx. 5cm. The great news is that alll the Crohn's blockage is GONE.....Do no see GI for 3 months, crohn's in remession. However, with the number of lymph nodes testing positivie, the are already running more test while I'm here. Today's bond test showed no cancer in the bones, other test pending. Once my surgery is healed, they will start Kemo 2 x wk for 6 months. We'll see how that goes.

They plan to place a port in me Monday and remove staples from surgery on Tuesady. So, who know? Maybe wednesday I'll go home? I'm not pushing it becuase right now I'm ssssoooooo tired. More Good News.....FULL LIQUID DIET!!! WooHoo


Just wanted to touch base, and will use this thread going forwardl Hope all is well, will check in when I can. I have yet to figure out out to respond here to peronal comments, so please believe me when I say thank you for all the support and prayers. You'll never know how much this means to me. Wishing you al the very best. Ill be back soon. Love the lot of you more than you know. Take care.

Sweet dreams, Princess Maddie. I hoped Dr KB, could do more, but there is still plenty of time for hope and miracles. Hand in there............Love Misb Angel
 
Hey Bev I was just checking in the forum and saw your post first. I am away right now from home but just wanted to tell you , that you have been on my mind... think of you often and hopes that you will continue to fight and get well very soon. So glad you updated us! We know you are looking after yourself and not to worry of us, you take care and rest. Hugs!!!!:ghug::getwell:
 
It is always good to hear from you Bev. I have been checking this forum all day to see if you have posted. you sound much better tonight and I am so glad that you had your family meeting. You are a strong fighter and you will get through this, i know this just from all the help you have given to princess maddie and everyone else on this forum. We are all here for you!!! You are in our thoughts and prayers always

Princess Maddie sends you lots of HUGS and KISSES to her Angel. even though NYC did not work out you got her that chance and we could not ask for a more loving person.
 
Hey Bev
Great to hear from you. I have been thinking about you often and wondering how you were getting on. Keep getting through day by day, I wish you lots of quality sleep so you can heal.

Here are lots of group hugs :ghug::ghug::ghug: cos many of us think about you and care about you.
 
Glad to hear you seem to be in positive spirits, Bev! It makes all the difference :)

We're all pulling for you! That's great news about the Crohn's being in remission! Praying for you constantly!
 
So sorry to hear about your cancer diagnosis Bev. I had appendix cancer that grew into my colon in 1998. Had a right hemicolectomy and chemo. Chemo made me so sick they had to stop it. Thats when I was diagnosed with crohns. I was a single Mom with two young kids at the time. But I found out how much people cared. Many people cooked for my kids came to help me take care of them. This will be a difficult time for you and God will put special people in your life too to help you. I'm praying for you and your healing. You can do all things through Christ who will strenghthen you. I don't know how I would have made it through either of my cancer diagnosis without faith in Him. You can do this. Try to take one day at a time, even one hour at a time if necessary. Focus on the here and now and everything positive. Love and Hugs
Susan
 
Best of luck with everything Bev...you are an inspiration to many on this site and I send you my best wishes...I'm glad you have your family with you to support you too...

xoxoxoxo
 
Hey Bev,

It's so good to hear from you again. I'm glad you have a clear direction now, something to focus on and aim for. You have your family to support you which is priceless and of course we are all here to support you, comfort you and cheer you on. I hope the doctor walks into your room soon and says - you can go home - because that's the best medicine of all. Sending you tons of (((HEALING THOUGHTS))) and (((HUGS))) ........................................

:hug::ghug::hug::ghug::hug::ghug::hug::ghug::hug:

Always in my thoughts and prayers my friend,
Dusty. :)
 
Bev, I'd have sworn I responded to this last night but oh well!! I seem to be suffering dimentia or something. OK, we got a plan of action, now let's focus on that like a laser!! Do not think about what might be next!! The chemo is going to work and you and your new crohns remission will be home soon!! Talk to you soon my friend:). And Bev, please do not feel the need to respond personally to any of us!!!!! We all know you have been put through the ringer. We are just glad you feel well enough to keep us posted. Just concentrate on you!!
 
Hey everyone, I think I have confused everyone, including myself, on starting new threads or continueing old one. I someone my let me know the best bethod to us, it might help all of us.

And, we all accept each other for who we are. Drigs kicking in, gonna go chill. I hope all ahs a great day/night, whatever. Enjoy life. Lots of love, Beverly

Bev - just keep using this thread to update us.... it'll save you having to hop around from thread to thread and repeat yourself umpteen times. i think most of us know to check this one now :)

i'm happy to hear you sounding more positive... and i can hear hope in your words. i know two ladies, both in their 80's, who've recently overcome cancer - one with chemo, one with surgery only.... so - you know what i'm saying right? if they can do it - you can!!!

Hey misB,

you are strong enough, and you must believe in yourself.

Head up and really fight, you can do it.

Good luck and lots of big hugs all the way from little 'ol Ireland

Hi Mis B,

Yes they do "say" that God never gives us more than we can handle. I don't think that is true. I just think He gives us the power to overcome difficult and seemingly never ending obstacles. I believe that's so we will rely on Him and His strength to get through it to WOW the rest of the world to give them hope!

You are so strong. I couldn't imagine going through what you are. I was deeply saddened by your news. I don't know you but I really really really hope the best for you, hope you get better soon and wanted to let you know that my thoughts and prayers will be with you and your family.

{{{BIG HUGS}}}

Hey Beverly - I'm so glad the surgery was successful for the Crohn's, but so sorry to hear about the cancer. Rest up - praying for you!
 
Just saw this thread, Bev! (((Hugs))) So sorry to hear about the cancer! I'll definitely keep you in my prayers that you'll beat this thing in no time flat!
 
Hi Bev,
I hope you were able to get some rest today. We are all thinking about you.

Always in my thoughts and prayers.

lots of love and hugs to you
 
Dear MisB,

I am new to this forum but went back and read all of your posts. My prayers are with you and your family. Cancer is a scary diagnosis but please do your best to stay positive and celebrate even the smallest of victories. I can tell by all the people posting on your threads that you are well loved and cared about. I wish you a speedy recovery and some decent food for you very soon.

glad you managed to pop in & let us know what's happening, Bev, but i'm so sorry to hear of this latest setback :( thinking of you, as always, and i hope the worst is over now. ((hugs)) xx
 
Sorry you've been having some bad days. I really hope it gets better for you Bev!! Thinking of you.
 
I can't believe how fast things can change. Earlier today I was still very ucky, could hardly type, and now, 11:00 at night I'm feeling better now than I have in.....??????. I should get to go home tomorrow. I am so nervious, excited, scared....I've been here 37 days and in the OR 3 times, and now I get to hurry up and heal so I can start chemotherapy. What a crazy ride this is. I am determined to start a blog soon and just start taking notes of everything and just bring the headlines here. Oh yeah, headlines, love and laughter. The important stuff. You have no idea how awesome it is to feel so miserable and log on here to find so much love and support. I swear I would never be able to get through this without the prayers, love and thoughts that all you send me It is blessing. They are bringing me a nite-nite pill because I'm getting so excited and nervious I can't sleep. So, I'll hang out a little while it kicks in.

I hope everyone is feeling better than I am and have a wonderful day/nite as the case may be. It's so good to be back snooping around the forum. Not much yet for supporting newbies, but i'm looking forward to see what's going on with everyone.

And as always......sweet dreams Princess Maddie. Sorry I havne't been able to keep up with you lately, but I'm back now. So, we'll see how things are going. I hope good.

Hugs and loves to everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for being here.
 
Beverly my prayers are with you for the best outcome without further complications. God bless you, strengthen you and bring complete healing to you.

Great to hear Bev!!! Hope you don't overdo it today with Mema's bday party!! You need to take it easy for a while!!
 
Just read your post, I'm a newbie to this site so I hope you don't mind me posting as you don't know me, just wanted to wish you all the best, I don't pray but I'm sending you lots of positive thoughts and in wales we sent cwtch's too. X
 
So glad to hear you're home, Bev! Enjoy the comfort of your home and indulge in all the rest your body needs. Don't worry about us for now. :) Best wishes for speedy recovery!
 
The moments to rest and reflect give us the strength to deal with what comes our way, and you have already proven you are made of the resilent stuff! I hope the next 37 days are full of peace and comfort for you.
 
Thanks for the update, Dusty!
Glad to hear you are finally home, Bev! I wish for you a speedy recovery!!

:hug:
 
Like they say in the movies there is no place like home in your own comfy bed, and family that loves and supports you. And of course you have us to cheer you on!! :hang:
 
Hey everybody! I'm home and feeling a little better. We're having an open house for my mom's birthday and it's working out great. We've had a few people show up, right now no one is here, but we are expecting a few more in a little while. My family got the sandwich rings, cleaned the house, and all I've done is sit here and hold down the couch. I'm feeling better right now than I can remember for a while. I hope it holds up. I'm slowly getting back online and I can honestly say I have missed you all. It may take me a few days to catch up with everyone again. I hope everyone is doing well. Thanks for all the well wishes and prayers. I must say this last month I have endured more than I thought I could ever imagine. It helps when you have such a great cheering section. It has helped me tremendously. I hope everyone is doing well and has a great day/night as the place may be.
 
So glad to get an update and hear you're still doing well, Bev! :) Enjoy all the visitors and truly enjoy your Labor Day! You've labored through a lot - you are right! ;) You deserve all the rest and relaxation you can get.
 
Hey Bev! So glad you were able to get home. I just found this post (have been out of touch lately). I am going to be praying for you lady! I am saddened that you have to go through this, but you are a strong woman and I feel through the love and support of family and friends and your fellow Chronies...you will make it through this! Keep up that positive attitude and know you are on my prayer list! :hug:
 
Hey MisB,

Hope all is continuing to go well for you!

Thinking of you mate, :)
Dusty
 
Bev! OMG! You've been through it..But, you are a strong person. I admire you. I am happy your spirits seem well. Hugs to you and your family. Sue
 
Bev, so very sorry about this news. You have been an absolute doll since you joined the cf family. I am sending you hugs, strength, hope, and the heart of a fighter. Bless you my friend, please hang in there strong. My own gramma beat her cancers 5 out of 6 times over the course of many years, and I pray that you will beat this as well and come back with all of the wisdom and beauty you have lent us.

And you, my friend, need to focus your strength on your battles too. I think we are of kindred spirit because I know that sometimes it makes me feel better when I am able to encourage someone else. We are in this together, and we will get through it together. I wish you strength and courage for you to be well soon.
 
quick update......woke up very ill this morning, hugging the porcelain bucket, leg pain so bad I can barely walk. Took every pill I could take to alleviate the pain and called the Dr. He got me right in. blood work, xray, he is now starting to quesstion my gallbladder. I was heavily medicated and don't remember a lot of the appt., but apparently I have a couple of air pockets that I'm not suppose to have. Protocal is if a person has 3 or more, you send them to the hospital. Thank God I only have 2. I am currently very drugged, not much pain, very drowsy, but wanted to send an update. I go back to the dr. tomorrow, so I'll let you know what happens then, as soon as possible. Again, if anyone sees a FB post, please feel free to share with CF friends. I have nothing to hide and need all the support I can get. Love you all very much, I'll update more when I can.
 
Oh, Bev, sorry to hear you had another setback. But glad to hear you didn't have to go back to the hospital. I hope you get some answers as to why this happened when you go back to the doctor tomorrow. I'll be thinking of you. ((Hugs!))
 
Man, so sorry Bev. It was sounding like you were doing so much better. I hope they find out what's wrong and it isn't anything too serious. I think you need a break for a while from everything. I am keeping you in my prayers that everything will get better for you. lots of hugs!!
 
Bev you can't win! I am so sorry, but I know this too shall pass, please get better soon! We all luv ya too! ((hugs))
 
oh bev.... I am so sorry to hear you are having another set back to recovery. If it is not one thing it is another. The gall bladder situation hurts like hell, the attacks are like getting stabbed with a knife. I truly feel for you, you are in my thoughts and prayers daily. I just had a gallbladder attack last week, thank goodness the meds calmed it down some for me. I am thinking about you..

lots of love and hugs to you
