Surgery

I had surgery today. It looks like I have Liposarcoma. I have follow up surgery on Feb 24th. Throw the lupus on top of it along with an ex who has conned me out of a bunch of money to pay for her boyfriend's divorce. Then add a dash of her taking my child to another state & not letting me see her except for once in 4 months. Now for garnish you can add that she has reported to law enforcement that I am conspiring with the wife of the man she took off with to have her killed.

Ever had a bad day??

If you ever loved her you should do it.

I just needed to vent. I admit the cancer has me pretty shook up.

Oh crikey Sarge, that all sounds bloody.
My best thoughts to you - you're not alone because you have us. Come and vent when you need to and please keep us up to date.

Sarge, I'm so sorry to hear your news. At what stage was the sarcoma? Were there renal complications?

Has anyone else had liposarcoma? Doctors are being pretty evasive with me. They had originally thought I had lipoma, but when they operated they found it to be cancer. I already had a consult with onocology.

I'm sorry to hear about such a raft of troubles, Sarge. I hope you get it all sorted out.

Sarge, that sucks. And I'm sorry the doctors haven't answered your questions. Until they do the follow-up surgery they probably won't have any more information to give you. It sucks you have to wait a week.

glatt - The wait is tedious. Looked it up on the web and it says survival rate is 50% in 5 years. That about made me wet my britches

That's why the staging information is very important.

You know something?? I didn't develop this until after I joined the Cellar. Do you think the Cellar emits some kind of "radiation". Come to think about it, I didn't develop cancer until after I stopped wearing aluminum foil on my head. Hmmmmm
