Sorry to hear that.
And as you said, no one fight alone. Support from family and friends is essential to keeping a positive attitude which helps with quality of life.

In again for $25.
Had a cancerous walnut sized lump removed from the side of my knee about 6 months ago.
Nothing new showing on a CTscan 3 months ago!
What is your team name Glenn?

What is the name of your team Glenn, so I know where the credit belongs?
Iride4sue.org doesn't work.

Ouch, did this affect your knee usage at all?

A good friend discovered a 2.5cm mass at the base of his spine and he had problems walking which made him finally see a doctor.
He got it removed and is doing much better.

Knee seems to work okay.
Orthopedic surgeon wanted to operate and clean out all suspicious muscle & do a skin graft.
Meant another 6 month recovery with no cancer showing, so I ultimately declined his fishing expedition!
He's an instructor at Oregon State University.
Always had students with him when I saw him and felt like he was just training/showing off for them.

Understand your feelings but please don't mess around with putting off treatment based on feelings. Get a second opinion if you can.

And a REALLY good doctor.
When I was diagnosed my family had me into MAss General's neuro-concology department faster then I could see someone locally. Within a week on was on the table getting a biopsy with an awesome surgeon (My tumor is DEEP within the brain so I wasn;t messing around)
As a funny side story...when I was interviewing my surgeon (yes, I research ALL my docs) I saw that he was a Duke grad and that UNC had just beaten them in basketball so the first words out of my mouth was "And no, I am not a UNC fan". The look on his face was priceless. He said "You looked me up?".
I said "You are about to go digging around my brain. You are damn right I looked you up.".
Patients MUST be their best advocates. |

This is why I support Sloan-Kettering.
My friend, Sue, was diagnosed with a brain tumor and given 7 months. She went to Mass General, Duke, Sylvester and Cleveland Clinic. She decided with MSKCC and she lived for over 5 years.
