No Cancer!

Well the results are in! I was supposed to go to the doctor on Thursday but got a call late Monday requesting me to be at the doctor on Tuesday morning. After I kind of flipped out on the nurse on the phone wondering why he wanted to see me early and asking if my results were bad, she informed me she just had to reschedule all of Thursday mornings appointments because he had a meeting. I accepted her answer still thinking she was lying to me just to make me feel better. Tuesday I went to the doctor and waited an hour and ten minutes before they called my name. After two women left his office crying, my stomach was one big knot wondering if they book all the bad news appointments for one day to get them all over with at once. I really hadn't worried all week about the tumor just trusted the doctor's assumption that it was a benign tumor but now I began to worry. Then I found out he wasn't lying about his meeting because the room was full of patients with Thursday morning rebooks! Next I got called back and had to listen to the woman in the room next to me screaming in pain and I do mean screaming! I was next! Everything was fine! I had a baseball size tumor on my ovary that had to be removed along with the ovary and of course my appendix since it all this started with appendicitis. I cannot begin to spell the name of the tumor but it was benign and it is a fairly common tumor that grows and they do not yet know why. I really don't care why since it is gone and not cancerous!!! THANK YOU GOD !!

Thank God for Appendicitis!?!

THANK GOD I HAD APPENDICITIS! I HAVEN'T FELT WELL FOR AWHILE NOW BUT DIDN'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT I FELT. TUESDAY I DIDN'T FEEL WELL ALL DAY BUT WHEN ASKED WHAT WAS WRONG WITH ME I COULDN'T EXACTLY SAY EXCEPT I JUST HAVEN'T FELT RIGHT. TUESDAY EVENING WAS MY SON'S 5TH BIRTHDAY PARTY AND I REALLY WANTED TO STAY HOME BUT COULDN'T DISAPPOINT MY BABY! AS THE EVENT DRAGGED ON FOR WHAT SEEMED A CENTURY I FELT WORSE AND WORSE. I WENT HOME AND WENT STRAIGHT TO BED. ABOUT 11PM I WAS VOMITING AND LATER ON HAD A FEVER. AGAIN I DIDN'T KNOW WHY B/C IT DIDN'T FEEL LIKE THE FLU JUST WEIRD! THEN THE PAINS STARTED AND THE CHILLS CAME ALONG WITH ALL THE OTHER SYMPTOMS. I COULDN'T SLEEP ALL NIGHT LONG AND WHEN THE PAINS BECAME ALMOST UNBEARABLE I GOT ON THE TRUSTY COMPUTER AND LOOKED UP SIGNS FOR APPENDICITIS. I HAD EVERY SYMPTOM AND TOLD MY HUSBAND I NEEDED TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL. SURE ENOUGH I HAD APPENDICITIS AND MY APPENDIX NEEDED TO BE REMOVED. I STILL HAD PAIN EVEN AFTER SEVERAL ROUNDS OF MORPHINE SO I DON'T EVEN WANT TO THINK ABOUT HOW MUCH PAIN I WOULD'VE BEEN IN WITHOUT THE MORPHINE. THEN ABOUT 5MINUTES BEFORE MY SURGERY THE SURGEON SAID HE WOULD PROBABLY NEED TO GO AHEAD AND REMOVE THE OVARY TOO. NOT KNOWING WHY I NEEDED AN OVARY REMOVED FOR APPENDICITIS, I ASKED WHY! THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME ANYTHING ABOUT MY OVARIES HAD BEEN MENTIONED. I HAD A MASSIVE TUMOR GROWING ON MY RIGHT OVARY AND HE SAID IT NEEDED TO BE REMOVED BUT HE DIDN'T THINK HE COULD SAVE THE OVARY. THEY REMOVED MY APPENDIX, AN OVARY, AND A MASS ON THE OVARY WHICH WAS SENT OUT TO BE TESTED FOR CANCER. THE PAIN SUCKED AND THE EVENT WAS SCARY AND I AM STILL UNSURE HOW I FEEL ABOUT THE WHOLE THING BUT I CAN SAY THANK GOD I HAD APPENDICITIS OTHERWISE THE MASS WOULD STILL BE GROWING INSIDE ME AND WHO KNOWS WHEN I WOULD'VE FOUND OUT ABOUT IT! GOD WORKS IN MYSTERIOUS WAYS!
