Like Knot said, Damn! So sorry to hear about this.
Right now America spends $700 billion every year on foreign oil. That's our money going overseas when it could be staying here. We have to stop this.
That's why I support the Pickens Plan. Check out the website at www.pickensplan.com. If you like what you see, please join me as a Pickens Plan supporter.

Catus, all of our previous disagreements and arguing aside, you have my deepest feeling of hope that you are okay. I don't normally pray, but I hope the God you pray to brings you through this....so I can argue with you some more.

Thanks to you too CF.

I've really only got myself to blame. I've known for almost six months that 'something wasn't right'. I just put it down to stress, and more stress. Hell, Denial ain't just a river in Egypt. At least this time I won't find myself a few years down the road, wondering if my doctor gave me ALL my options, or just those that don't conflict with his/her religious beliefs.

I made a huge mistake trusting my doctor 11 years ago. I should have had the hysterectomy then. True, it would have been considered a 'drastic' measure for atypical cervical cancer, but I wouldn't be going through this shit now!


Bother not the cat. For they are sneaky and will piss on thy keyboard.

How much time, money and stress would it save to just skip all that crap and go right to the final decision?
Don't get me started on healthcare in the US!

Anyway I hope your doctors make the right decisions and you get past all this soon.

LOL! Thanks FX. I needed that.

Don't count me out yet. Attitude is a big part of recovery, as I'm sure you know. And I'm nowhere near being ready to shuffle off this mortal coil.

Hell, at the very least, there are just way too many people I haven't pissed off yet!

Me either. I've got what passes for DAMN good insurance, but this dicking around is getting on my nerves. As far as I am concerned, they can do their damn research AFTER it's out of me! I really don't give a shit whether it's germ, stromal or epithelial, I just want it out!

Anyway I hope your doctors make the right decisions and you get past all this soon.
Oh no Gary, not this time! This time *I* will be making the decisions. I made that mistake once before. I won't do it twice.

Das my girl. Both those could be guiding forces in my life. People at my clinic think I am off my rocker. And they are right for the most part. But my attitude has gotten me 17 strong years out of dialysis. I ain't changing.

It's helped by my awesome wife and my pension I'm sure. But that's beside the point.

If I have to do chemo, I'm going to have "What are YOU looking at?" tattooed on the back of my head!
