CANCER is a very scary word. I remember when my dad was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 1999 I cried! I don't care who you are...it is scary. Just realize that it is not a death sentence and many many times breast cancer patients are SURVIVORS!! I will pray for your mother and for you! I hope that you have a relationship with God because He is a God of peace even in times of trouble!

"You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you,whose thoughts are fixed on you!" Isaiah 26:3

Many Blessings,

Cheri

Warm wishes to you and your mom from here too. I can't say I've been through it, but I also think the waiting would just be the worst.

Keep us posted.

Cancer is a horrible disease. But beatable..Remeber that OK? I had to children with cancer at the same time, one survived and one did not . I did not know how I was going to go on, not to mention my mother dying 10 days before my son did . I'm here to tell you, you will get through this. You have lots of love and support here. Lots of prayers. If you ever need anyone to talk to about this please feel free to email me, call me or PM me. I'm here for you. Keep the faith, keep the spirits up. I will keep your mother in my thoughts and wish the very best for her.

*hugs* Estela. You and your family will be in my prayers.

My sister-in-law has just gone through 6 treatments of chemo and we're now in the waiting stages, to find out if it worked. The not knowing is nerve wrecking!

Please keep us posted and take care of yourself.

Hi Sweetie,

I was wondering what had happened. I'm so terribly sorry to hear that it is this serious and of course my prayers and good thoughts go out to you and your whole family. My Mom had a similar experience last year, but thank God, the tumor was benign. She got over that and another one showed up this year, and again it was benign. Remember there is always hope. Keep the faith and know we are all here for you.

Cindy

I dont know if our own stories can help you cope with your own. My own mother had malignant mass in her side the size of a very large grapefruit. Dr's said she had a 20% chance of making it through this. This was 14 years ago, and she is here with us now. Medicines and doctors are miracle workers. You and your mom are in my prayers.

My thoughts are with you and your family. My sister was diagnosed with breast cancer in February. She caught it early, thank God, and she's finishing up her treatment this week...She's actually coming with me on Friday when I will get banded. Early detection is Key. Good luck to you........the anticipation is terrible, I know.

Estela, I too went through having a lump removed from my breast. I know what your mother is going through right now. Please tell her for me that there is no heartache or pain that Jesus cannot heal! He was with her before the biopsy and he is with her now. The results I pray in Jesus' name will be benign! You are a wonderful daughter!

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
