My understanding is that some of wha...Sorry again. My understanding is that some of what they found *could* be cancer now, but that the samples they took were NOT cancer, therefore they are saying it's not cancer. Someday, however, if these things grew, they might discover they were already cancer but they just couldn't tell yet. That would be "presenting as" cancer (meaning, it didn't change into cancer; we just didn't know it was cancer until later).<BR/><BR/>The good news is that today I am considered just fine. Healthier than I've probably been in my entire adult life. And today, I'm just gonna walk in this beautiful path God has led me down.<BR/>Blessed beyond measure, :-D<BR/>-J<BR/><BR/>"So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. God BLESSED them... God saw all that he had made, and it was VERY good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day." --Genesis 1:27, 28a, 31ShalomSeekerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17591133790619806903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6423486241629140622.post-90332161399300360512009-02-27T07:15:00.000-05:002009-02-27T07:15:00.000-05:00word verification for my last comment was "tries" ...word verification for my last comment was "tries" as in she tries to be a good aunt. <BR/><BR/>This time the word verification is:<BR/><BR/>turidest, as in she tried, but laid a turd.

Cervical cancer? Uterine cancer? ...Breast cancer? Cervical cancer? Uterine cancer? Ovarian cancer? <BR/><BR/>I don't understand "present as cancer" That is a new one---what did the nurses and doctors say? "Oh, sorry, it looks like cancer, but we have to do these expensive tests to protect ourselves??" <BR/><BR/>And surely, they noticed the fantastic weight loss---I would have pointed it out a hundred times. But, knowing nurses and doctors, they would have tried any negative approach and questioned whether you were anorexic or diabetic. Here you have been very good about watching what you have been eating---doing what they say is healthy, and they did not give you a "good job" or gold star or high five??? <BR/><BR/>For all those visits where I have gone in for a sore throat only to be told I was fat, like I had not noticed, for the recent visit where I was told the vaginal sonogram would probably not show anything because I was obese---next time, crow !!! Please!! Rub their noses in it!! Shout the victory from the rooftops! Halelujah Jesus! <BR/><BR/>Now what does "present as" mean?joycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11456465195258073699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6423486241629140622.post-58303129933535704082009-02-26T21:26:00.000-05:002009-02-26T21:26:00.000-05:00Sorry for the confusion. I do NOT have cancer. I...Sorry for the confusion. I do NOT have cancer. I do have a condition that could one day develop into or present as cancer, so they want to monitor it each year to make sure they catch it if it does. THAT "bummed" me; it did. The good news was that another condition I was worried about is not anything to worry about. And I didn't see the same doctors/nurses as last year, so I don't think they cared about my weight loss much. It did, however, make it easier for them to view the results, so that's good.<BR/>-JShalomSeekerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17591133790619806903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6423486241629140622.post-8399555613461527592009-02-26T17:18:00.000-05:002009-02-26T17:18:00.000-05:00Weren't all the doctors and nurses impressed with ...Weren't all the doctors and nurses impressed with all the weight you have lost?? <BR/><BR/>And I am confused by your post---you do have cancer or you don't?? <BR/><BR/>you speak of good news---<BR/><BR/>but, you are bummed because...?<BR/><BR/>Aunt Joyce needs plainspeak, pleasejoycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11456465195258073699noreply@blogger.com
