Default Prayers needed

Things have been tough lately. Here's a quick background for tose who dont know/remember me. Way back when I was pg with my DS, they found a fibroid that started at 4cm & grew to 8cm by the time I had my son. They usually shrink after pregnancy so my ob at the time blew it off as no big deal. well, when i wanted to get pg again, a new ob recommended an mri, b/c my uterus seemed big. the fibroid was 10cm & I went to the best in Boston & they recommended getting rid of it before getting pg agin. so thats what we did & then I got pg right away with Phoebe. ((Now, the fibroid they took out they said was unlike anything they'd ever seen before ( & they do thousands a year) & they were concerned about cancer. Turned out it wasnt cancer. ))

Fast forward to my c-section w/Phoebe in Nov..while they were in there, they saw some "strange-looking" fibroids which they removed & had analyzed twice - once there & another time at the Boston hospital. Determined possibly I have a rare (like only 50 cases) conditiion where the fibroid cells float throughout the abdomen & attach to whatever they want. (disemminated fibroids) So they decided to do another MRI about 6 mo after I had the baby, to let the hormones calm down.

So I just had the test & they found masses on my liver, on the front of my abdomen, on my saccrum & a few others. The entire team met & decided that they dont know what to think & that I should see a gynecological oncologist to discuss the possibility that this may be cancer. I am freaking out right now & am so scared that i wont get to live to watch my kids grow up. if it is cancer, its already spreading like wildfire, so I doubt it would be a good prognosis. OMG I am so scared & depressed. I am seeing the doctor next Tuesday. Please pray that this isnt cancer!!

Praying for you sweetie! It sounds like if it was cancer and had spread that much you would have had lots of symptoms by now. Hopefully, these are just more PITA fibroids!
