in Breast Cancer #1

Well, I have had a rough week. Monday, I was admitted to hospital again with another blood infection.  On Thursday, I was transferred via ambulance to Ochsner in New Orleans.  So far, the docs did a very specialized CT that shows very thin slices of the pancreas. The pancreatic mass is inoperable.  The doc wants to try yet another EUP (endoscopic ultrasound of the pancreas)  biopsy because surgery won't be easy on me and the pancreatic problem is not fixable. My last hope is that this is somehow breast mets in which case certain meds might help. 

Today, I am having an upper gi. If the mass is obstructing my small intestine, they may be able to help that situation, which should make me more comfortable. 

Monday I will have repeat biopsy... Big sigh.  Send support, prayers, whatever you have that they will finally get a good sample. 

I love you all and will try and touch base when I am able. I am going to try and get Katherine or Danny to fill in for me when I can't. But know my heart is with each and everyone of you!!!!!

    Big hugs and a whole lot of $%*&#

    Eileen,

    All I have for you is a big hug, all the positive thoughts I have that your doctors will finally be able to come up with a plan for you and that $%*&# pancreas of yours, and a whole lot more unprintable expletives for what you're having to go through (all of which would be unbecoming for a Southern lady, so I'll say them all for you). Surprised

    YOU ARE A ROLE MODEL FOR CANCER VICTIMS

    CC, sorry to hear about all of your problems. But one thing I would like to say and that is you are a role model for all cancer victims for everything that you have had to fight for in your life. You have stood up and fought this hell of this beast for so many years and still fighting. This beast seems like it does not want to give up on you but I would show this beast you are not going to quit and he might as well give up on you because you are going to keep fighting like hell and win. You may not like being in the hospital but I think this is the best place for you to be at this time. Since you are in the hospital I think your doctors can all work together and find out what really is your problem and find out what is the right treatment for you. Keep that smile on your face and we all hope to hear from you soon.   You are in my prayers daily,    (((((HUGS)))))   Pixie Dust
