Popular Post Francie26 Posted April 10, 2013 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 My daughter, Melissa, talked to my dermatologist at M. D. Anderson today. The doctor told her that this (once believed to be cancer) is just an extremely rare form of the tricoepithelioma, called Skin Adnexal Neoplasm Differential, actually in the cancer family, but not dangerous, and in fact, is no worse than the tricoepithelioma which I have had now for about 45 years. It is so slow growing that the chief oncologist at KU Med Center told me that he didn't think it would contribute to my demise. lol I thought that was good news, but that was when they thought it was another extremely rare form of cancer. But this one is even more rare, and frankly, is even better news. It is, in fact, so extremely rare that the doctors, even those at MDA, couldn't figure it out for quite a while. My dermatologist there wants to take my slides and medical data to a dermatology-oncology conference a week from this coming Friday so she can share this information and get their opinions, but she says the doctors at M. D. Anderson are all in agreement that this is not dangerous, and that I just need to get on with my normal life. I will need to get one more tiny clean-up surgery, but that will be just going in for a morning, be put to sleep, and come home almost in time for lunch. When the surgeon does this, the doctor at MDA wants her to collect a lymph node for comparison, as they can tell by looking at it if the first lump they removed was a tumor or a lymph node. She hopes it isn't a lymph node since that would indicate that it had metasticized there from somewhere else in my body, although I've had every test they can devise to search for another primary site somewhere in my body, and so far, all they have found is Nada--Nothing--Zilch--Zero--The Big Aught. A tumor is, thus, the best diagnosis because, to the doctors at MDA, it will be another huge clue, although they are already 99.98% certain it isn't a death-delivering kind of cancer, just something that is growing extremely slowly, in fact much slower than I am aging. lol What a deal!! I don't know if I feel happier because I am very close to being told I don't have a disease that might kill me in a few months or because I feel vindicated because I kept telling people that "the doctors say I have cancer, but I don't think I do." I'm not blaming them, though. This kind of cancer is almost off the charts, so far out there that very few of even highly trained, medical specialists really believed it even exists. At any rate, I will get the final diagnosis soon, but meantime, I am already celebrating, and I am posting this information so my friends here can celebrate with me. I do believe we can actually "believe" our reality into existence, and I may have done that with this, since what was once diagnosed as cancer has changed from something even the doctors seemed to fear into an almost benign situation. I can (and will) live with that. <smile> Francie 26 28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyHi Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 What wonderful news Francie! I love the bit where you say: "I am posting this information so my friends here can celebrate with me.

Nonetheless, continue on your new regime of strict diet and exercise....it will help reinforce the attitude of being in a good place. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Francie26 Posted April 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 I have fallen in love with this new way of eating and moving, and I won't give that up now. I love how I feel, and want that to continue. Thank you again for your important information regarding diet and nutrrients, which I am now using daily. I am convinced it has helped to make such powerful changes in my health, that and my full belief in my total recovery. I'll actually get the last (medical) word on that soon, but as far as I am concerned, it's already a done deal. lol What wonderful news Francie!

Thank you for the blessings. I'm up for those. That is just glorious news. I'm smiling so much that my face is starting to hurt a bit. LoL!!!! God continue to send His Blessing upon you.

Thank you so much, sweet girl. You are another one who has always been there, ever since this leg of my journey began. Thanks for the rose, and I may have to make a run to town. I think Im due for a glass of wine to celebrate, and there is none in the house. Wine isn't on my food list these days, but I think a single glass would be nice.
