Prayers needed please



Recommended Posts

As some of you may remember from my ordeal, when my wife was getting discharged from her WLS they told her they found some cancer cells in the routine liver biopsy they do during WLS surgery. She went for scans and tests in December and January and they couldn't find any primary. So basically she has to get scans every 6 months just in case. So she had her 6 month scan in June and cancer specialist said they didn't find anything and he thought original pathologist misread biopsy after her surgery and he'll do one more scan the end of this year and no more if all still looks good. I asked specialist if he could send original biopsy out for second opinion so maybe they could definitively say they weren't cancer cells and all is good. We'll 2nd pathologist said they were cancer cells. So cancer specialist sent us to better specialist. Had appt today and this specialist found the tumor on the scan from January that our original cancer specialist ordered and missed. So angry right now as we have lost 8 months. She has tumor in small bowel and the lymph nodes there and of course there was evidence of cancer cells in her liver in December. She goes in for a focused scan next week and then they will tell us about the surgery and treatment she will need. Your prayers helped me with my rough time so figured can't hurt to have some more for my wife. They say the WLS can bring folks together or tear them apart, but we have grown much closer after surgery and my ordeal and it pains me she has to go thru this now. Thanks all

Sending you and your wife prayers. May the lord bless you both and keep his watchful eyes in you during these dark days.

My mother got her 5 year clearance of breast cancer 3 months ago, just a little over a week ago she was back in the hospital as she was not feeling well, her abdomen was distended. After all tests were done we were advised she has metastatic breast cancer and its spread to her liver and stomach. I completely understand what you are going through. We just have no answers as to how they cleared her of the cancer 3 months ago and all of a sudden it is back with a vengeance! All we can do is pray that she gets well enough to be able to be moved to a specialist cancer hospital to start treatment that the type of cancer she has is receptive to and possibly end up extending her life a little bit longer.

I am sorry for this news - I too would be angry that this was missed!

I did not realize that liver biopsies were routine with WLS. I understood that it is routine to send any "removed body parts" like our stomachs for pathology tests... just in case.

My prayers for the best outcomes and a full recovery soon!

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

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
