Thanks, folks. Was "just" a rather intrusive biopsy. It was supposed to be outpatient, but I was kept overnight as a precaution. Got home yesterday afternoon, notified a few people, cuddled my cats, threw up, all that fun stuff ... then slept for 15 hours to make up for the 1 hour I got in the hospital the night before. Am ok, just dragging. Likely will know more early next week and am praying for word that my non-rent-paying-lifeform is NOT malignant.
We continue to Pray for you.. Staying quarantined, and beloved. Always wishing you the best.. Keep safe and well. (At least we won't catch a computer virus from EQ2). Much love to you and everybody!
Ooh, careful! Biopsy site! At least here, we can hug all we want, social distancing be darned. I was more worried about Mum being in a hospital right now for anything...not that hospitals aren't usually the Happiest Place on Earth for microbes normally... :-/ Uwk worried for health care workers now, too :-/
Thanks folks. It was/is bad news, especially given the chaos caused by the pandemic, but it is what it is. I'm running around with a ton of appointments now in preparation for 5 weeks of chemoradiation to deal with what has been determined to be stage 3 cancer. The overall prognosis is good, but it'll be a rough time for a bit. Please, please folks, keep things like private messages and Discord and in-game tells to an absolute minimum. I know a lot of you are worried, and that touches me more than you can know. I know a lot want to offer "If there's anything you need" sort of comments, too, and I appreciate it. BUT I have spent far, far, too much of my finite energy in the week since I got the biopsy results just notifying family and certain friends one-by-one. I have very little excess energy, and I'm going to need to focus what there is towards working with all these specialists so that they and I are as prepared as possible and can kick "Herbert" out with as few permanent issues as possible.
Wow...what shrine did you desecrate to be hit with all this now, Mum? If I were you, I'd find whatever deity has their nose out of joint and apologize profusely... ;-> Hugs! I'd wish a "stay healthy" on you, but..."get better" will have to do! Uwk
So sorry to read that it was not the news you wanted Niami. I will respect your request to not send dms or tells so just posting here to say that I am worried for you and if I lived nearer would offer you practical help. Hoping for strength for you in the weeks ahead, and I also hope that you can snatch some peaceful me time in Norrath. In my thoughts and prayers with loads of virtual hugs xx
Soo sorry Denmum ! Be well, focus on your health battle, take one day at a time ! You have lots of friends here waiting for your recovery and sending you good thoughts !
