lots of little ducklings Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Nah. He doesn't like the hand motions and by the time it's important to know the difference he'll get it. He can tell you the story of Noah's Ark and the story of the Tower of Babel, but for some reason he just combines them when he's not telling you the stories. It makes sense.... in the event of a flood, climb for high ground (or in this case, tower). And it's cute. Meanwhile, baby boy is dancing to the classification system right now. Also cute. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Openhearted Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 I say twins, a boy and a girl.:D The first thing dh said when we found out we were having twins was: well, now the older two (children) won't fight over holding the baby because they will each have one to hold. This, of course, was after the initial shock wore off. Neither one of us said anything for about 20 minutes. So this way, Mary and John will each have a baby to cuddle. Of course, then later, reality set in and dh said we would have to get a bigger vehicle. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texasmama Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Maybe your friend has abnormal cells which are a precursor to cancer? That is really, really common. Nonetheless, if a person is nonfunctional, she needs some sort of medical help. I had a glorious nap in spite of dh touching me on the back of the head, the children hollering, the cat protesting at a closed door, and my odd father calling to tell me he needs me to order more organic cranberry juice. It was glorious, I tell you! When I awoke, the power had returned so I took a glorious bath and had a glorious smoothie and am now a completely restored person, proving that we shall indeed overcome. (Now doing laundry since the power was off all day and will call the odd father soon.) 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoJosMom Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 One of my two best friends was diagnosed with cervical cancer. She's in pain and scared and they're going to wait a year to treat. Is that normal? Sorry-on my phone and accidentally hit "like." I don't like that your friend has cancer. As for cervical cancer, I know that it's very treatable. Waiting a year seems odd UNLESS they are waiting for a definitive diagnosis. Paps, for example, give lots of false positives, and persistent cervical infection can produce symptoms that are also consistent with cancer. I would suggest that your friend request a consultation appointment with her doc, i.e., with her clothes on in his office. It's hard to ask intelligent questions when you're naked and sitting on crinkly paper. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoJosMom Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 They said it's cancer and it's spreading, but she really has a few years before she has to worry about it. Because that makes perfect sense. Slash, truly there's a disconnect here. If your friend has cancer which is spreading to other organs/sites, that is a medical emergency which requires treatment. For them to advocate that she wait and watch for a year makes no sense. While it is possible-there are some horrendously incompetent doctors out there-the recommendation is so weird that I have to suspect a communication problem. Now if her Paps have found dysplastic cells on multiple occasions, that MIGHT be something to watch (although, with her symptoms, I would think that investigation and treatment would be more appropriate.) In any event, I would suggest that she first clarify the findings. She needs to know what tests were done and what the findings were-and get it in writing. Hopefully, she can schedule a sit-down with the doctor and bring a friend/loved one to the appointment. It's really scary to hear "abnormal test results," and it's easy to shut down. On the upside, however, I believe that it's ovarian cancer that is aggressive and really, really bad. Cervical cancer, I think, is more treatable. :grouphug: 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoJosMom Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 More medical stuff. I finally found what I was looking for. Chronic cervicitis can cause symptoms (or not) and can result in cervical cell dysplasia (which is really more like pre-cancer). Here's the WebMD page. My former OB/GYN was a reproductive endocrinologist and believed in aggressive treatment. According to him, the majority of his new patients came in with some level of persistent cervical inflammation. Watching (at least 15 years ago) was the common approach, but he always treated it, usually by freezing the cervix. Which is no fun. Ask me how I know. No, wait. Don't ask. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
