I am praying and believing with you. Prostate cancer survivor here, diagnosed in 2009. I was told the sleeve would lessen the chance of reoccurance. So far, so good.

I've read this entire post and fat irst reading I was so sad and scared for you. Then I read everyone's posts and felt all the love from all our VST friends. Then I saw your 1st results and became joyful. (GOD IS GREAT) Your thread has taken me through a range of emotions and I am elated that things are going in the right direction. It is a true miracle as everyone has said that this was even found. This again is yet another reason why this surgery can be life saving. I will continue to pray until you are cancer free and sitting on the losers bench next to me. God bless you and stay strong!!! Hugs!!!

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11 - so thankful for a good report!

Hey everyone,

My first oncology appointment is on Wednesday. Wish me luck!! Hopefully I'm cancer free! I don't even know if they can tell me that, but after removing the tumor I hope everything is just fine and I can breathe again! Staying positive for my daughter, but some days are harder than others.

On a lighter note, should hear from the surgeon this week with my insurance approval, going to double check with the oncologist about getting sleeved, but since the other doctors and my surgeon Dr. Looser already sad it was fine I'm feeling confident that I will be sleeved soon!!!!

Thank you everyone for all your love, prayers, support, means the word to me!

Have a wonderful Monday :) and remember to smile and appreciate everyday!

Tekara, So happy to hear your up. This is a pretty scary time for you, and yes, you will be sleeved soon! I hope your look into the negative effects of a chemical that we eat on a daily basis and eliminate it from your diet. It is believed that tumors feed on sugar. So this is a great time to battle the urge to eat any kind of sugars to help eliminate tumors and cancers. if you can go to 60 minutes and download the episode on sugar, it would be very informative for you. I am working really hard to get away from sugar. I sometimes go back and eat it, but then gather my self up, and avoid it at all cost. No sugar for this body! :)

I am so sorry that you have to face this but thank God it was found early. So, pick up your baby girl and tell her that you are going to be around to welcome her first baby - your grandchild - in the future. Then, take good care of yourself. Do what your doctors tell you and if, at any time, you feel as though not enough may being done, go to a nearby university medical center. You can beat this. You're in my prayers.

Good luck to you! I'm not sure how I missed this, but Dr. Looser is my doctor too. I like him a lot and feel that I'm in good hands. :)

Wow. I looked those tumors up a Wiki. Most types are asymptomatic. You only notice if they start releasing hormones. You dodged a bullet there. That had to be scary beyond belief. I'm so glad things are looking up.

It kind of puts my stupid little concerns and pains in perspective.

You are so right, Cat. Nothing like hearing about someone going through a real trial to make us feel silly about our mundane problems.

Tekara, I'm so happy your surgery went well, and that things are looking good for you. Know that everyone here cares about you, and are rooting for you to have a long, happy, healthy life. Hugs

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
