Had my biopsy today...no big deal. The results are the scary part now. Haven't gotten them yet.

Tomorrow morning I have my colonoscopy to look at what the blockage in my small bowel is, which is what I originally came to the hospital for. Should have results from both tomorrow. Hoping I can go home then since I was planning SC Tuesday. Only thing that will stop me is if I need surgery on my bowels.

Had my colonoscopy today and I have a mass. They biopsied it so I don't know 100% that it is cancer, but the GI doc. asked who my oncologist was with oral cancer so that sounds pretty much like cancer to me. I will be here until Monday when they will decide what kind of surgery to do based on lung biopsy and colon biopsy. Has anyone had their cancer spread all over so fast in one year? My pet scan last March had "activity" only in the head and neck area, nowhere else in my body.

I hope it turns out well for you. Maybe the biopsy is to confirm for the Dr that there is no Cancer there.

Come on Barbara!!! Do not go into panic mode. Please!!!!! You know its not cancer til they say it is. Repeat that over and over til you believe it. Do not jump to conclusions because a doc asked you a question just in case it is cancer. Nobody said it was and you havent gotten the results yet. I am saying extra prayers for you. Be well!!!!!

Well the GI guy didn't just ask who my oncologist was, the oncologist came to the hospital and ordered a CT scan of my neck to find out if the lung possible cancer is a new cancer or has spread from my neck. He said it's worse news if it has spread from the neck. I think he meant if it has spread this fast to the lungs and possibly the colon, then it has probably spread throughout my body.

I debated doing the ND and radiation and chemo and now, of course, if it turns out to be this I sure wish I wouldn't have. My husband's cancer did the same thing. He had prostate cancer and it just spread like wildfire through his body. He only lived a few more months.
