I Just Found Out I Have CANCER...HELP

[chispa]

 

I have had the worse week of my life!  I just found out I have a 9.5cm tumor in my chest.  I AM TERRIFIED!  I have a 3yr. old a 9yr. old and a 13 yr. old.  I see the thoraxic surgeon on Tuesday.  I can't seem to get my head around this.  I keep cying and I am trying to be as normal as possible around my family.  I am in constant pain.  I am hoping someone has gone through a similar experience and can share with me their experiences, what to expect,what to do...anything!!!!!!  My kids...I have tried to read the internet but this forum is full of very smart and well informed people and I have learned so much here that here is were I came to get support.

Thanks for your time and may you always be healthy!

Dear Chispa,

Im so sorry to hear that you have cancer, while I don't have personal experience with cancer myself. I believe I can offer some advice after watching a close friend of mine family go through a similar thing,

Cry it out as often as you like and need to better out than in, acting normal when everything is not normal is not okay for you. Expressing how you feel is healthy and it is okay to be scared and frightened because if I was in your situation I would be terrified.

Be honest with your family and friends about this situation and enlist all the support you need, nothing wrong with asking for help.

Its okay to take medication for the pain, you don't have to suffer in silence. Also it may also allow you to have clearer mind if you are not focusing on the pain. You can take small doses of pain relief does not have to be strong amounts.

Research research research everything you need to know about the cancer, treatment and support groups for yourself and your family. It will be great to have people you can talk to about what you are going through.

Get a health advocate someone who is always on your side and can make decisions for you on your behalf, who knows exactly what you want and is willing to go into battle for you when you don't feel strong enough to do it for yourself, and always have someone at your appointments with you so you don't have to go on your own.

Most importantly. GO AND DO SOMETHING SPECIAL FOR YOURSELF. It is okay to spoil yourself and take some time out just for you. It does not have to be expensive but you need to do something for you. You have probably given everything to your family and its time to do something for you.

I hope all this helps you.
Good luck with everything
Kimba

Oh, Chispa, I am so sorry to hear that! What are they saying the prognosis is? I really can't offer any advice other than what Kimba said (great advice btw), but I will keep you and your family in my thoughts. Send me a pm if you ever need to talk. *HUGS*

[Kimba15]

nhockday you have given me an idea.

If right brain education has taught us anything that there is a universal energy, (esp) If you would like Chispa we all on the forum could either pray for you or send you loving, positive, healing thoughts your way. If you like and if you feel comfortable with that.

Don't want you to feel you have to do something you don't want to do.

Any way here it goes.

Dear God , universal energy

Thank you for sending a big golden healing light to Chispa! Thank you for keeping her warm and safe. Thank you for giving her the strength to face this situation head on, thank you for sending her to the right doctors!     

love Kimba

Sorry to hear about this.  I saw my mom in law go through breast cancer two years back.  Unfortunately, god did not mean for us to be with us. 

I heard about this drug called LDN - low dosage naltrexone (not sure abt the spelling) but you will easily be able to find forums online.  many p\atients have documented their experiences.  Good luck.. I hope it or something else helps! 

May god help you and your family.

Love....

Kimba and Nikki, Gloria and Ariel,

Thank you soooooo much for the prayers and advice.  This place is so much more that a children education program.  I am amaze of the support I get from "strangers."  Amazing caring people!  I loved the prayer!  Thanks!  Thanks for the idea of the advocate.  I do seem forgetful and in a daze.  I still can't believe it.  I am scared for my family.  I will know more Tuesday!  I hate the wait.

Thanks again!!!

dear chispa,

you are in my prayers... u should get better sooner,god willing... please try to do self hypnosis on yourself... it can help reduce pain and if done regularly with much belief and dedication it has the ability to remove your tumour altogether... many people have reported saying so.. hope this helps... take care and god bless you....

Sorry to hear, Chispa.

I'm going to PM you to suggest a potential solution you may want to consider (seems to have been very effective on many people), which is probably not very appropriate for discussion here for reasons also not appropriate to discuss here.

Anyone else with life-threatening diseases who's interested can PM me too.

Hi! chispa,

I am so sorry too.  But I will pray for you and your family.

Dearest Chispa,

We here at BrillKids are all very sorry to hear of your situation, and we will be sending prayers your way. I was reminded by how valuable each and every person here in the forum is - to the whole early learning community, and most importantly to each other, especially in terms of support. I'd like you to know that we are here for you and your family, and we are rooting for you to pull through.

God bless. [hug]

Hey chispa, I'm so sorry to hear that, I can't imagine how awful you must feel.  Know that you're definitely not alone, we're all here and rootin' for ya!  I'm not knowledgeable at all on medical issues, but I'll be sending lots and lots of positive thoughts and energy.

I hope you're feeling better about and have come across a solution.  May this week be much, much better than the last.

... and of course, karma to you!

Dear Chispa,

I'm really sorry to know of your condition. A close family member of mine recently went for an operation to remove a tumor in his bladder and is under close observation now. Since then I have read up and research some. If you're interested, the following are some suggestions:
