Surgery

Surgery I figured the best way to get this out to those that know me would be thru a blog. I have 6 months check ups with my Rheumatologist in which I have to have blood work done. Well I went in and it came back with some problems so he has me go in for an ultrasound of my live. He sees some things he's not happy with so he orders a CT scan that day as well. I get a call the next day saying We think you may have pancreatic cancer. We're not sure but that's what it looks like. My heart skipped a beat maybe two. I go see another doctor who says he agree's with the first one. SO i'm off to UAB for an endoscopic ultrasound. That do says it's appears to be a cyst the size of a silver dollar. It doesn't appear to be cancerous but it's not a normal cyst either so He refers me to a Surgical oncologist. He tells me the same thing if it was a normal round cyst he would leave it alone and check it every 6 months but it's not normal. I has growths coming off it likes it's spreading. In order to get to it they will have to also remove my gallbladder. LOL I told him while he was in there go ahead and do a little lipo suction and maybe a tummy tuck.  KC if you read this do you remember what the medication was they gave me last year that I had an allergic reaction to. I don't want to go thru that again. Give me a call. It's been a rough couple of weeks. I spent yesterday getting things down on paper so when I see my lawyer to draw up my will I will be ready. I would be lying if I said I wasn't scared because I really am Scared to death. |

Hello, Mike and Beve here. New to your blog. Sorry to hear about your troubles. Beve also has had pancreatic troubles, though they diagnosed hers as pseudo-cysts and thus far have done nothing more than drain a few of the larger ones. We will be hoping and praying that your surgery and recovery goes smoothly. The only advice we can give is NO ALCOHOL (at all!!) and keep very close watch on your diet as well. It might be good to start a journal of what you eat. The pancreas itself will probably get irritable depending on what you eat- the removal of your gall bladder may cause some issues as well. Beve had her gall bladder out years back- and went through diet changes. We are by no means experts- but have gone through a bit of this, and are more than willing to share any personal experiences. Let us know if we can help. M&B P.S. -Remember- no booze at all. The number one cause of pancreas trouble (per her doc) is alcohol! Hang in... and keep your chin up! We are rooting for you- and we'll try to keep an eye on your blog. M&B

I'll keep you in my thoughts & prayers there luv. I know cancer of any kind is scary and saw my mother live with it for a few years and all. And your by far a stronger lady than she was so I feel that you got a whole lot more fight in you. And keeping up your sense of humor durring this time is good strong medicine. Sides that your not going anywhere until we get to hang out at McDonalds (lol) and bitch about the other BK managers... Keep your chin up, you'll be fine...

Well I'm home safe and sound it's been a rough week but i'm alive 2 days in ICU and the other 6 in a private room. I'm sore as hell but happy with the results. No Cancer. They removed half my pancreas, part of my intestine and my gall bladder. Now it's a long 8 weeks to recovery. But I'm alive and I'm doing good thanks for the well wishes and prayers. I would do a happy dance but it hurts to much LOL Missy

I've been home a week now and I have to say today was the hardest day for me. Depression has set in like I knew it would just not this soon. I'm a workaholic and for me not to even be able to drive is killing me. I call work and all I get is negativity about how my store is being run. How my crew is so unhappy and it kills me. They are like my family and it hurts to hear how miserable they are. They have placed a new asst in my store who seems to think he can come in and change my policies and proceedures. Which upper management is allowing him to do. Then I find an ad on Careerbuilders for my position. The ad went up 4 days after I had surgery. So i'm not sure if I even have a job to come back to. The healing process is going good so far still a little sore in places and can't sit for long periods but I have managed to walk down to the corner of the street and back. Not to bad. Hopefully next week when i see the doc he will take the staples out and I will get a little more comfortable. Thanks for letting me vent here.

UPDATE: The staples are out I'm doing great. Okay I"m doing better LOL. I still have some pain when I move the wrong way So I try to remember that. I'm up to walking about 2 miles a day now and I've lost 24 lbs so far. THe doc says I'm good to go. Clean bill of health so I don't have to go back to see him again. I go back to work on the 12th of Dec so I still have some time to recovery and have fun. I'm trying to stay out of trouble. LOL Those of you who know me know that's going to be difficult. Although I've got my keys to the car they've taken away the keys to the motorcycle. LOL Like I would try to ride it feeling like I do. Okay I admit it I probably would. I got out today and drove to Dothan to the mall just to get out of the house I can tell you I won't be back to the mall again til after christmas it was packed. I don't do crowds especially now with this incision. I'm very protective. I'm hoping to get out and go to some of the outlying towns and look at antiques. Maybe take my camera along and shoot some pictures. I had forgotten about my pentax til I was cleaning out closets and found it with all my lens. It's been a while but I'm sure I can still figure out how it works. It's good to be alive and feeling too. Thanks for letting me talk As far as work goes I'm not taking calls from work anymore I'm on sick leave LOL I'm going to enjoy the peace and quiet. Missy
