Thinking of you Cindy. A friend of dh's had a brain tumour removed about 3 yrs ago and no recurrence, keeping fingers crossed for you.

7 days..has anyone heard anything?

Speaking as a former Neuro ICU nurse, even if everything went perfectly, she probably won't get home until Tuesday at the earliest.

True that..was just hoping maybe a close friend here may have heard something.

I am so sorry for not posting sooner. One problem resolved, another one found..... Anyway, on 6/17/15 I was cleared by my neurosurgeon - it was a benign tumor; stage 1, so the likelihood of re-occurrence will be rare. The not-so-good news is that with the ups and downs of my recovery, I developed colitis - c-diff; a nasty bug not uncommon when dealing with high powered antibiotics. I went through my 1st course of meds with still active c-diff. (By this time I was home from rehab). I went to have more blood work done, and the next day I got a call from the MD office to go to the emergency room.... My white blood cell count was 4x what it should have been. Anyway, 6 hours later and after an abdominal CT scan, I find out I am being re-admitted due to a new abdominal mass.

So, after I get admitted upstairs, who walks in my room but my hero friend Dr. Matthew Carr, hematologist/oncologist. After he chews me out for finding out I was back in the hospital by a floor nurse, he informs me that a surgeon will be in to see me and that from now on he is my primary MD. He proceeds to show me the CT - a 5# basketball that has encased my right ovary and compressing my bladder in half.... No wonder I'm peeing all the time!! (I thought it was the diabetes@#$!!).

Anyway, to bring this to a close.... Dr. Carr and his amazing surgeon, Dr. Podulinski; a female gynecological surgeon, feel we caught this very early - the CT shows mostly fluid with some solidification around the right ovary. (I'm almost 54 - I don't need these parts anymore). On 7/9, I go back for surgery #2.

I just renewed my membership here, so I'm looking forward to another year of soaping friendship. Thank-you all for your good wishes and prayers. I feel like I've been granted a miracle with my brain surgery, and remain positive for my next surgery.

I resumed driving short distances with my husband's disapproval..... but my MD's okay so hopefully Relle and Sonya will get their mica samples.

It's good to be back!!

 

[Seawolfe]

Oh my gosh I'm glad they found it! But I'm so sorry you have to go through more surgery and stuff. Gentle hugs and keep on keeping on. I wish you an unremarkable surgery and a smooth recovery with no more surprises. And thanks for the update

 

[dneruck]

Great to have you back Cindy. Praying for a speedy recovery.

 

[Ellacho]

Oh my Cindy~~ I am so sorry to hear this news..just found out today. My prayers and thoughts are with you. I know you make beautiful soaps but I want to send you my flower cake soaps for you. May I? If it's okay, please PM me. I make soaps so I can share with people who can be uplifted by with my soaps in a small way. Big hugs to you.

 

[galaxyMLP]

You have a remarkable positive attitude. It is good to hear from you and I'm glad that we will be hearing more from you to come. Wishing you speedy recovery and a safe surgery.

 

[Susie]

So very glad that the brain tumor was benign, but keeping on praying about the other! I am so glad you are back with us!
