Question about cancer diagnosis.

He means that you are just enacting a doom porn scenario without any real basis for it, that you have no reason to be seeking sympathy or advice for your situation, which is idiotic and unnecessary. When in fact all this jerk should be doing is sticking his fat head in a toilet and getting 1000 swirlies.

Oh ok. Whatever. LOL I don't let people like that get to me. Thanks .

not a day goes by without somebody claiming that they have cancer, and of course they’re all right.

Very nice of you to offer your support. Perhaps you should take a moment and reflect on what it you just said and while you are at it take a gander at this thread right here,

Good for you and you should not, but that doesn't mean they don't need to get a swift kick in the keister.

My Beloved just went through this. The response from the doc's office doesn't necessarily mean that your results are bad. I'm not sure why they couldn't just say---"We've reviewed the findings and everything looks good." My best guess is that they wanted the revenue from an extra office visit since that's what the doctor said when we arrived in his office.
This was after a "mass" was discovered in his lung and a biopsy was performed. The mass turned out to be an abscess which was taken care of by a round of antibiotics.
My prayers are with you. I know the feeling of the waiting. Try to find something fun to do to put your mind in a positive place.

If it is cancer, we have cancer survivors here at ATS. I'm one of them. You will have your ATS family to stand by your side and help you through this. Hang in there. I know how much waiting sucks.

I lost my wife to cancer and i'm ten years in remission from my own.

I learned to view the word "cancer" as just another disease and that understanding has lightened the load for me. My wife was a trooper with her illness and never complained. I followed that approach to the best of my ability but with--as crazy as it sounds--a "whatever" attitude that gives me peace. After all, we can't live forever.

It's nice to have an ATS nurse on-call lol. I wouldn't put any emphasis on the nurse not giving you the results.I can't remember a time when a nurse gave the results of a test for me or any of my family members.I'm sure there are good reasons for this.

just a couple more days...hang in there...nothing wrong with coming over here and sharing with us,help pass the time and alll....there is always one numbnut in the bunch that has to be a douche about it, I hope they are never go through this.....


find something fun to do to pass the time...and I wouldn't read anything into it...they are not allowed to give out info....we are here for you!

a reply to: diggindirt

it is because legally a nurse is never allowed to give a diagnosis...What if the nurse makes a mistake? This puts her license as well as the doctor's in jeopardy! Imagine the implications......

a reply to: paxnatus That's nice to know. I MIGHT call on you in the near future, though I hope not. To Whatsecret:- You don't say where you live but in the UK where I live they now have what they call an emergency pathway, Which I am on at the moment. This guarantees from first meeting to diagnosis they will have you in treatment within a couple of weeks. So if they've discovered some thing they will want you in quick to start treatment.
I had my colostoscope or whatever it was called two weeks ago and they took eight biopsies. The specialist does not want to see me til the 20th so I'm taking this as a good sign.
Any way good luck with your meeting the doctor and let us know the good news. My good thoughts are with you.

Wow. just wow. Been avoiding ATS for a while.. checked out home page and cancer is still a problem??? Please do your own research but my rules would be: no chemo therapy! load up on vitamin B17, and if truly cancer get onto gcMAF. Cut out all sugars in your diet. Raise the pH of your body. Cancer is preventable and curable. Positive attitude mate - it will be OK.

For the sake of avoiding a law suit, the doctor will not tell you anything very bad over the phone in case someone were to go out and commit suicide or go on a rampage because of the dire prognosis (?)...

If there is bad news, demand to be retested AND get a second opinion from another specialist in the field.

Of course your insurance may have a problem with this, and that is one of the problems with insurance and a for profit (Insert Industry Here)....

Ok no cancer, small cyst on pancreas according to MRI benign in nature. Gallstones and severe anemia. So IV iron and a CT scan in 6 months. The tumor marker that was high is normal now. Dr says it might just be a mistake or something else caused it. But NO cancer.

Thank you all for replies. It really did make me feel a little better. Waiting for something like this sucks. But you guys kept me calm. So thanks you are all awesome.

Just brilliant news.

So happy for you!

Oh yes I'm relieved.

Not ready to checkout just yet. Thank you again.

Glad to hear the good news!

Elated to hear the good news. Doc should have given you that information as soon as he got it. This torturing people like that needs to stop! Do these offices not know how to use a phone and simply say, "Mr. Smith, we have the results of your tests and the news is good." to alleviate stress in the patient.

a reply to: whatsecret that's great news, crap that you had to go through the worrying. Try and put it all out of your mind Look after yourself and get on with living
