Dude the universe is in your favor...so glad your doc made that a priority vs sleeving you and never really knowing. Channeling all the postive energy I can muster up and send it your way and to the eyes, ears and hands of the doctors who will be caring for you.

Omg! I hope its not cancer! But if it is, maybe it would not have been caught if you hadn't planned this surgery. I pray the biopsy is negative...wow...I can only imagine the shock to wake up hearing this news. Stay positive...many hugs & prayers! Keep us posted.

Sleep position! I have been having so much trouble sleeping because I'm not a back sleeper. Also' date=' when I lay flat it hurts my stomach. I only feel comfortable if I can sit up slightly. Has anyone else experienced this?[/quote']

Try using a hugger pillow and lay on your side...

Hang in there busybeingme. Thank God you had the surgery so they could find it - maybe this saved your life!
