Nestof3 Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 1. My uncle's colon cancer has reappeared, and it is not looking good at all. He cares for my aunt who has post-polio syndrome -- essentially constant pain, difficulty getting around, etc. 2. Hopefully, by Friday, I will get some test results on my blood work. My obgyn called to tell me I have elevated tsh (thyroid issues) and leukopenia (low white blood cell count). They are retesting to make sure the results are accurate before going forward. At this point, I'm scared. I cannot stop thinking of things like leukemia (my maternal grandmother died of this when she was 39). 3. My sister-in-law is being induced tomorrow (early because her amniotic fluid is very low). 4. My friend Tess (from the board) is having marital trouble. 5. My mom has one of her lungs removed on Aug 19. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosie_0801 Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Wow. What a list. If the secular 'prayer alternative' is sufficient, I shall do that for you. I've read that miso is great in helping combat the ickyness resulting from chemo, if that's any use to your uncle... Rosie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blessedfamily Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Dawn, I understand the stress of waiting for important test results. We always fear the worst. I found at least 38 causes for leukopenia, if the results are accurate. Don't assume the worst one on the list. You're dealing with so much right now. God bless and strengthen you :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
