Cancer

[forgetmenot]

Trying not to worry as someone close to me goes in for biopsy tomorrow
Has all signs i knew when i saw swollen arms it just looked like cancer
This person has fought back beaten all odds hasn't touched alcohol for over year has got her life back
God why now i just pray it is not what it is.


The trait runs in our family as well cancer has taken many
Sorry it just seems when one battle is finally getting over another one will be there waiting for her
Trying to stay positive but the signs are all there
I just hope the new does not send her back to coping with alcohol again

I just hope the news does not send her back to coping with alcohol again

Being concerned is OK, but it's counter productive to jump to conclusions until the results of the biopsy are available. At that time, the doctors will likely present the options, and at that time your friend will have to figure out what option makes the best sense for her, and deal with her choice at that time.

Strides have been made in recent years that improve the outcomes for many forms of cancer. Cancer is not necessarily a death sentence anymore.

Hopefully with your caring support, and stategies offered by her doctors, she will not fall back into previous destructive bahviours.

She is already talking about using the stress is so much on her i tried to reassure her that it may be because of the wrong dose of medication she was given over 3 month period that high dose may have cause calcification to happen i tired to reassure her that 80 percent of spots are non cancerous She has already fought cancer and won a huge melanoma off her back I spent evening with her calming her mind down That is what i can do is keep her calm but inside i am so worried i know the signs i seen them many times she will be okay somehow she will be okay.
