I've been on this journey for a few months, should get my approval next week. But I just got the results from my endoscopy polyps I had removed....

I have been diagnosed with neuroendocrine tumors. Cancer. I have cancer. It's truly a miracle to me that they found this, and that they wouldn't have found it had I not chose to get this surgery. That a woman of 25 would not receive an endoscopy just because, but I made the decision. I'm horrified. My daughter just turned 1... I can't even look at her without tearing up. Why is this happening to me when I am sitting her dieting my ass off, walking, preparing mentally for me to get my weight and life n better health, and now this? Everything may happen for a reason, but I'm not getting this one,

I will be having surgery tomorrow to see if this tumor has spread into my intestines, but to also remove the tumor in my stomach.

God bless you all beginning this journey to not have the news I have received. If anyone else has got this news, please reach out to me. I'm scared. :(

  • God has a plan for you...and part of that plan was for you to find this because of your decision. It's a blessing that they caught it and that it will be treated. (((Hugs))) I know you don't see that

I am so sorry you are going through this; I know what it is like to face a cancer diagnosis and worry about what will happen to your family. I was diagnosed with uterine cancer in October and am the sole support of a mother with dementia and an autistic sister. Like you, I caught my cancer early without spreading outside the uterus. My six month check up was clear, but I don't think the fear will ever really go away. The Big C will always be lurking in my thoughts, but I determined not to let fear rule. I will be sending good thoughts your way; I think you will have had your follow up surgery by the time this goes out...All the best. Keep us up to date.

Our thoughts and best wishes to you, how fortunate you are to have caught this as early as you did.

We all look forward to hearing good reports from you.

You're awesome Tekara!

Take care. Hope everything goes ok. So glad you found out about this. Praying for you to beat this!!!

My thoughts and prayers are with you!

Best of luck to you. Sending thoughts and prayers for healing for you.

All of your prayers have been heard. Thank you so much. So here's the results...

We are lucky to find out that from what they could see on my stomach and pancreas it's looking like it was only the one tumor which has now been removed. I will follow up next week by swallowing a little pill that is actually a camera and will confirm whether or not the is anymore throught my whole digestive track.

Then I meet with the oncologist in Boston and will see what happens which all the bloodwork and tests I will have. then I just follow p every 6 months to make sure noting has grown back.

I am so incredibly happy and grateful :) thank for all the love and prayers!!! You guys rock!!!!!

Wishing you the best possible outcome. Hugs to you and your little one.

Wow! This is actually a miracle that the tumors were found! This is life saving in itself! I know it is really scary and to look at your baby and think "I might not be here to see her growing up and see my grandchildren. " My thoughts are with you and I want you to have nothing but the best. Do you have a support person that you can talk too. It really helps to talk about what your going through.

God bless you.

Wonderful news!!

Thank God things are going better for you. Please take it day by day and fight, we'll be rooting for you!

I'm a 23 yr survivor of Lymphoma - I was 31 when it was found and had 3 young children. More people survive cancer than die from it!! Its a shock but you will get through this and thank God that you were going through all this testing so they could find it because your are right, going through an endoscopy is not something that a Dr would routinely do for a 25 yr old! We are here for you!
