Title: New decision to make...
Post by: cindyj on May 03, 2008, 01:28:43 pm

Well, I haven't made up my mind about my AN treatment yet and now I find I need to make a different decision first.  Long story, but the end result is that my gynocologist has reason to suspect cancer in my uterus...so, I need to decide on which approach to take to get that resolved/put to bed.  I don't believe it's cancer - what are the odds of me having breast cancer twice, an AN and uterine cancer???  But, I know I can't ignore it.  So, while this AN is ever present on my mind, guess I'll have some surgery for that issue first.  Perhaps that will give me some quiet time to come up w/ an answer for the AN...I am lucky (once again) that my AN is small enough that I can put off treatment for awhile.

Lot going on here this week on the site...hello to all you newcomers!

Hi, Cindy:

I'm sorry to learn of your new health problem but I have to admire your intrepid attitude.  I hope and will pray that it is not any kind of malignancy.  Obviously, that issue needs to be resolved before you can make a decision on your AN treatment.  You're quite correct in noting that with your small AN you have the luxury of postponing a decision on a procedure to address it.  However, in this case, 'luck' is a relative term.  :)

Oh my goodness, Cindy - when it rains it pours, huh?

I'm glad you sound like you are remaining positive even though you seem to keep hearing bad news. I suppose it is lucky that you have time to deal with your AN issues so you can take care of your other ones.  I guess it's like that old question "How do you eat an elephant?  One bite at a time".  I guess we all have to learn to deal with things one bite at a time.

Good luck with your decision making and may you continue to be lucky!

Cindy -

I'm sorry to hear about your other health issue.

I think it's a very wise decision to put your AN treatment on hold for a little while.

Best of luck,

Jan

Thanks, ya'll.  Yes, I'll attack these issues "one bite at a time."  I guess I should maybe put myself in the "Wait" category...

Have a good week everyone!
