Prayers Needed, My Friends...

Friday

Bazinga!
As you know, I've had problems with my pancreas in the past.

I've had more problems recently, culminating with finding out there is a mass on my pancreas, where the bile duct joins it. My last test was inconclusive, so I'm going in for an ERCP next Thursday.

The doctor said it could be just a polyp that could be snipped away, or it could be cancerous. At this point I'm scared shitless.

This isn't a thread to garner sympathy. I believe in the power of prayer and positive energy, so this is a thread asking those things. Nothing more.

Thank you, everyone....
 
Friday, you are definitely in my prayers. My daughter went through that last year. After all they put her through, she is doing very well now. The worst part is they don't tell you anything or what they tell you doesn't make any sense and only scares you more. Just know that people survive spots and sludge and all the other words you'll hear. Let us know how it goes Thursday.
 
Friday : I didn't think it would end this way.

Marquis De Sade : End? No, the journey doesn't end here. Death is just another path... One that we all must take. The grey rain-curtain of this world rolls back, and all turns to silver glass... And then you see it.

Friday : What ? Marquis ?... See what ?

Marquis De Sade : White shores... and beyond, a far green country under a swift sunrise.

Friday: [smiling] Well, that isn't so bad.

Marquis De Sade
: [softly] No... No it isn't.
 
Thank you everyone for you thoughts. Unfortunately, the procedure is *next* Thursday (March 20), not last Thursday, so I still have it looming over my head. The reason I haven't replied until now is because I've been in a considerable amount of pain. Since I *hate* taking the painkiller I've been prescribed, I've just been trying to grin and bear it. But it doesn't really give me the motivation to be conversational.

After being up all last night in pain, however, I succumbed and am now in a hydrocodone induced haze. At least for a few hours.

Your good wishes go far in keeping my spirits up. I cannot tell you how much everyone's words mean to me.

And eloisel, the story about your daughter helped quell my fears about the whole thing. I hope she is better.
 
She is. She is doing so well she's off camping in the deep woods this weekend. It takes awhile but it will be okay.

You're still in my thoughts and prayers.
