Hello all my wonderful friends here. I have been so busy this week so sorry I havent written.
Please allow me to catch you all up.
My Momma's cancer has returned. (ANDEOSCARMA) So far it seems like there is only about an inch in her pelvic area. After her petscan, They consintrated on her pelvis area with an MRI and we still do not have the results. Her is a very brief history of her is the following.
Full Hystr/and her cancer started in her Uter than NOV 07 it moved up to her stomach and a BASKETBALL TUMOR was removed from her stomach area which they are studing it at UPENN in Phila, Pa FEB 08 a cannonball cancer was in her right lung and half of her lung was removed. She now is a patient of the CANCER INSTITUTE IN NJ and there only 3 people have this cancer and at first they treated her with ONLY HORMONES. They actually do not know how to treat this cancer.
My sisssy who is ALSO a cancer survivior of LARGE CELL LYMPHOMA about 7-8 years ago had a biopsy on Thursday which there were several "blocked" milk ducts. The doc didnt even want to do biop/ just wanted to do surg to remove it. This doc wanted to ease my sissy's mind but informed her that most likely surg is next step. We are suppose to here again this Tuesday.
Now for me. 2 weeks ago thru my docs office I was told I tested positive to RA Rhumitiod Arthtis.
I saw my doc Last Monday. He told me he didnt think I have it because all my other numbers are all in normal range. He told me to get another b-12 shot and he took 5 more vials of blood. Normal range? Than why do I hurt head to toe? He also wanted me to consider I may be depressed. You know that commercial depression hurts everywhere?
I told him it has been 3 years since I took any anti depressant medication.
I would give myself a fair assement and if I felt depressed when I see him TODAY I would allow him to put me back on antidepressant medications. Honestly though only 2 things made me a little upset this past week and it wasnt like I was going over and over in my mind.
I will come back this afternoon and tell you all what happened with my new bloodwork.
I really respect my doctor who like 7 months ago found out I was vitamen deficiant so we shall see.
Please pray for my family and for me. I appreciate all of you and would greatly wish you would send your angels to help me and my family out!

Hi, Are you taking fish oil supple. with omega 3. Has been proven to help with depression. It's the good kind of fat needed especially for proper brain function. Sleep is also critical. If your iron & B12 levels are low, has your Dr. mentioned pernicious anemia? Certain antibodies can be tested for this. My sister went through so much until finally one Dr. tested for parietal cell antibodies(ABs) & intrinsic factor ABs even though her B12 levels were within normal limits. Besides a good diet, exercise (which is easier said than done, I'm sure) sleep & some sun or light therapy might help. Wish you & your family good luck. It doesn't sound easy. Keep your chin up.. RLT
Hi everyone...
My doctor doesnt think I am depressed he thinks I am stressed and my body is speaking to me.
I have to go back on my mood stabilzers TOPOMAX and do my vitamens and get more bloodwork in a month.
He said I was exposed to the RA gene but all my numbers are all in normal range for NOT HAVING THIS!
I am not sure how this all works but I am going to take his advice although my body hurts all over!

I am very happy to hear that the news of your sister is so good, but am sorry that your mom continues to struggle so. It sounds as though she is a true fighter for sure. I tend to agree with your dr. that you are not depressed but stressed and with everything you have on your plate right now, that is a natural response. I admire your strength and courage in dealing with all that is happening in your life right now and continuing on the path you have set out for yourself. You are an awesome lady. {The topomax you are taking is one of the meds I am on for my migraines, it is used for many different reasons, but has made a difference in the frequency and severity of my headaches.} I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and in my heart. Take care of you. Deb
