I am writing to ask for prayers and positive thoughts. Last April, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. At the same time, my husband was diagnosed with ALS (amyotropic lateral scclerosis, Lou Gerhig's disease). I got through the surgery, chemo, and radiation while working full time to keep us insured. Last year was the haardest year of my life.
On Monday, I will be having a hysteroscope and D&C. I have been having lady partsl bleeding x10 weeks. I have almost every risk factor for endometrial cancer, including taking tamoxifen, diabetes, HTN, nulliparity, obesity, caucasian, PCOS,.......................). I am not frightened of the procedure as I have been told I will have plenty of happy drugs and I have great confidence in my surgeon. I AM scared that I have cancer, again.
I am asking for prayers and good wishes that my biopsies will come out negative. And if they are positive, I am asking for the courage and the strength to undergo the proper treatment while working and providing care (and INSURANCE!!! He does not yet have Medicare.) for my husband and myself.
It would be a great comfort to me to have others praying for us. And for those who have other beliefs, I would be grateful for good wishes, thoughts, or what you believe is important at a time like this.
Thank you all!
