The Cancer Thread.

[imabrat]

Okay,so if you haven't caught on already,I've got cancer.
And to avoid angering,annoying,or whatever-ing people,this is where I will update you about surgery,chemo,whatever.

Also,I know some have had friends/family/loved ones battle cancer,and some are battling it right now.
So if anyone wants to give/recieve advice,this would be the perfect place to do it.
If anyone wants to ask questions about cancer or dealing with cancer,this would also be a good place.

So it's in your hands now.
I'll update when I can.
You can read if you wish,or simply ignore it.

Please,if you're going to bash or start drama,this isn't the place.

So,yeah,that's it.

[disneydance]

Hugs to you and i hope that the suregury goes well tomorrow i'm watching Extreme Homemakeover right now on ABC and thinking about you as i watch Boey

[Babyjustrun]

I hope your surgery goes well, and also hope your recovery is quick ;]

[Pirate Me]

Good luck to you.
I've switched to a different perspective. Its difficult, and very sad. :sad2:

[My Own Little Corner]

Sonya , I think you know how I feel. :hug:

[XxCuriosityxX<3]

:hug:
Good luck to you with your surgery i know how serious this is for you. I hope you have a good and quick recovery.

[Pirate Me]

Hold on, this is your update thread as mentioned or a thread about Cancer in general..or both?

I think it's both.

Both.

I'll update you guys like I mentioned.
And I know some friends who have questions but were too afraid to ask.
So they can ask here where the main topic is cancer.

[disneydance]

Ive lost a loved one to cancer who was like a grandma to me and always was there for me and recently died last year a few days before christmas

[Pirate Me]

-edit-

[TwistyMisty]

my dad has cancer:(

[imabrat]

Well,this is it you guys.
This is my last post.

Tomorrow I'll be leaving at 230am for the hospital.
Supposed to be there by 530am for prep.
Scheduled for 730am surgery.

When I see you all again,I'll probably be cancer-free.
There's still that small chance the cancer is microscopic somewhere in my body,but probably not.
I've still got 4 rounds of chemo so I'm not in remission just yet.

So I'll try to come on when I'm not drugged up on narcotics/pain meds.
Remember to check the C&C board for Mskanga.
She's my mom,and she'll probably be posting an update.
There's also my CaringBridge site,that my mom will update.
It's http://www.caringbridge.org/cb/inputSiteName.do?method=search&siteName=sonyawhitman .

Love you all and see you soon.
Sonya.

Just wanted to let you all know that I just read the post from Soyna's mom(MsKanga) in the coping thread and she said the surgery on Sonya was a success and the tumor was completely removed. She also had to go through a knee replacement and is in quite a bit of pain right now, but is hanging in with Narcotics. Also her mom said that the preliminary bone manor cells show NO signs of Cancer. This is such great news.

[disneychick2721]

This has been on my mind all day too. Even during my field hockey game today, I completely zoned-out thinking if everthing would be alright. And then I go hit in the knee with the field hockey ball:laughing: , but I've been hit plenty of times so its all good. :teeth:
But anywho, Im so happy everthings worked-out the pain must s*ck:headache: but that'll go away. :hug:

Sonya,

Best of luck with your cancer. I know it is a very upseting, confusing time in your life. Best of luck. I'm sure everything will clear in the end. :)
I have followed Slim's story (on the vmk board) for a while now, and I suggest you read it. Good luck! You will be in my prayers!

Sending some pixie dust and hugs! :wizard:

[imabrat]

Thanks everyone!
I am in excruiatng pain.
I have a PCA pump,where I press the button and the Dialude is pumped into me.
I do that every 15 minutes.
And as a result,I'm itchy all over from the Dialude and the anesthesia.

And yesterday,1 day outa surgery,and the physical therapt team expected me to walk!
So they come in,my leg is in this huge contraption that moves it so it doesn't get stiff.
They take the machine off,move my leg on the bed to where it has 1 FOOT hanging off the edge befofe the waterworks start.
It was SOOO EXCRUCIATING I moved myself back into bed.
And then the freaking nurse tells me 'Oh honey,we have adults all the time who do this. why can't you do it?)
I was like STFU lady,i'm not an adult i'm 14.


more to come later.
i'm passing out from the pain meds.

Aww stay strong! Everyone heals at their own rate. You have been so strong, I am sure you will fully recover. Just maybe not ONE day after surgery, that is a little extreme.:grouphug:
Goodluck!!!

[Mskanga]

Wow, i can't believe I was ever thinking she was using this as an excuse for things.

I am the mom and I can assure you that she would never do such a thing. She is having a very difficult time recovering after the surgery but she will beat this.....I know she will !
Thank you for all the prayers and well wishes , she really needs those very much .

[disneydance]

Aw Sonya this sounds such painful i hope that you are doing better now i cant imagine the pain you are going through hugs to you :hug: :grouphug: i hope you get better soon keep us updated Sonya!!!

[Fluffaball]

You are such an inspiration. I have been through alot in my life but nothing like this. You know what your mum MsKanga just said. You are going to beat this. And she is right.

[Babyjustrun]

I'm so glad that the surgery went well =)
I'm sorry it hurts =(, but I'm sure in do time it won't hurt as much, or you just won't notice it.

[keypooh90]

Glad to hear the surgery went well, Sonya. Awesome news that there are no signs of cancer. Stay strong and get your rest and i know you'll make it through just fine. *hugs* and prayers and pixie dust being sent your way.

My godmother is dying of leukemia. She is 78 and refused treatment.
My other godmother died of brain cancer when i was in 5th grade.
My mom's friend/family friend died of leukemia from complications from chemo.

[Sparx]

sonya, I hope you continue to improve. I know it hurts so bad you just want to die, but you're fighting the worst part right now, if you beat this, it all gets easier from here.

[pigletgirl]

I'm glad everything has gone well, thus far!

[imabrat]
