| Well it was a month ago already when I got a CT scan result saying that I had a mass in my abdomen.
I had a biopsy some 9 days later and waited 2 weeks to get results and they were that they didn't have suficient material from the biopsy to get a result one way or the other.
Now yesterday I went and got another CT scan with the same results as a month ago but the radiologist added that there was four possibilities as to what it is and 3 of them are cancerous.
I now am waiting to get another biopsy done before they can proceed with anything else. The doctor who did the first one says to take the thing out and then you will find out what it is but then the surgeons say no way it's to small ( 1.33 inches ) and I am not going in there looking for it till I know it's cancerous. Now we have 2 or 3 surgeons saying the same thing but trying to find another doctor to do a biopsy is next to impossible. My doctor has contacted some 10 specialist and is doing his best that we find out what this thing is ASAP so that if it is cancerous we can proceed on.
He also told me that if I was in the states this thing would of been out of me 3 weeks ago. [:(] Now all I found out in a month is that I have a 75% chance of having cancer and might not find out for weeks yet. [:(]
Thanks for the prayers and I guess I am going to need some more. |

| TM, my prayers are with you. Sounds like even if it is cancer that it is treatable so keep your head up high. Keep the faith. |

| TM, you and all the other guys here are in my prayers every night. I understand that the 'not knowing' has to be the hardest part. I hope that they find out quickly so you can put your mind at ease.
Best wishes,

| Trophymuskie,
I'm praying for you too! Take care, and try not to worry. It didn't help to worry when Ashton had his surgery, it only gave me more wrinkles and grey hair. It will turn out the way it should no matter how hard we worry. Put it in the maker's hands and try to stay positive. We're all in there praying for you. God Bless.
