First of all, let me apologize for not blogging sooner. I absolutely have not been up to it. Since Tuesday night I have been in bed non-stop in quite a bit of pain.
We went to the new doctor on Tuesday afternoon and we really liked him. We were both nervous because 2 doctors and several nurses said that he's very difficult to get along with. It surely didn't seem to be that way to us. We were thankful.
What he said was that there are multiple masses in my abdomen and pelvis. I thought (hoped) that they were cysts, however, he said that I am too old to have cysts.
He was going to take all of my tests downtown to Karmanos. He has a particular radiologist that he is confident of reading them.
He says we have two options: 1: surgery - or leave them. He prefers not to have to do surgery, but in my opinion, I don't believe these things can stay here. Lots of pain in my abdomen.
We asked him if I have surgery doesn't that mean that as soon as you would open me up wouldn't that mean it spreads when the air touches it. That is a myth he said. What really happens is that once you cut on someone it opens up entire new blood supplies to the cancer. So myth or not, it doesn't sound good at all.
I have to meet again with the Oncologist on Thursday. Barry & I aren't sure I will make it that long until I would have to have something done.
If you were one of the 29 people that came to our house on Monday to pray, thank you. If you prayed where you were. Thank you. It was an awesome move of God.
My appetite is not anything like it used to be but I am sure that the doctor will put me on that stuff again.
Now even though they are giving me doom and gloom, I am still expecting healing! Remember BY HIS STRIPES. STOMP!!!!! STOMP!!!!! STOMP!!!!!
Love you all! Will write again when I am up to it.

I seriously thought they would do the test and there wouldn't be anything there. Maybe God knows someone needs to see a "bigger" miracle, I can't wait to see what God does with all this.
I love yo. Be well.
This only makes us pray even harder. I didn't think that was possible - but apparently it is!! You've got the Army of God out here that's going to be cooking, praying and taking care of the two of you, so be still and know that God is with you and know how much we all love you.
worried about you Arlene.Pray the pain goes away.
Holding your hand through cyber-space! Hugs and more stomping!
Sounds like you have quite an army taking care of your family's needs and praying up a storm.

I had a friend whohad pain in her abdomen, and had huge growth inside...maybe it was cysts, because she was around 20, but I can't remember. Anyway, she had the operation, and she was in pain for a year after...so much so that her mom had to watch how many Advils she took. Maybe you could ask the dr. about post-op pain. That was her experience, anyway.
I am praying daily for you.
Rose
Still praying and sending my love.
