Seeking second opionion....

I am sorry to hear about the cancer. DO not give up. Keep looking for that second opinion and for treatment. It is never in vain to seek to get healthy.. Fight Fight Fight..
I am so glad that you are making the step to have the RNY.. It will save your life one way or the other. It will save your life for sure from the obesity and the comorbidities but it could very well be the only answer to saving your life from the cancer. I think you are doing all the right things. Just keep going. Keep calling cancer centers, call your insurance and get a personal health coordinator to help you. Maybe they can tell you what they will cover and where you could go.
I know neither of these journey's will be easy for you. I know for sure the RNY journey is not easy but it will be worth all the effort.. I have never had to face cancer thank God. I have had a few scares and biopsies done that were negative.. I can't imagine the feeling of having a disease like that and not being able to get help.. I know that journey will not be easy either. You keep searching and don't give up, there has to be help somewhere,. Keep that phone busy searching for a doctor or clinic or center to help you.. Keep working as fast as you can toward the RNY. Also if you believe keep that communication line open with God too. It is the most important one. He will help get you through this.

I will start praying for you right away and I will continue every day. If there is anyway I can help you or be encouraging to you I will try. People on this OH site are so helpful and they will be there for you too I am sure. You keep up the faith and the fight.

God Bless you in your journeys.

thaks teresa its a battle thats for sure...im so exhausted mentally but im not giving up...

sorry for the darn mishap in the posting...

     Today i tried to get second opionions all day long about my situation...i have uterine cancer and my ob/gyn surgeon said he wont do the hysterectomy on me cause of my weight..says the fat is in the way and the tools cant manuever themselfs around the body fat..so he said GO GET THE GASTRIC BYPASS SURGERY  and come back to me after you loose 100 to 150 lbs..
     well i am upset cause he didnt offer me any other solutions or treatment for the cancer..he said i dont have time to diet normally and its a life and death situation..
       but yet my husband feels if this is a risk for him to take then why wont he..my bariactric surgeon told me also im a higher risk due to my BMI of 74....i am only 5' tall and all my fat is in my stomach and behind and thighs..
I am so fustrated cause i cant find any cancer treatment centers to do a consult with me for  a second opionion...either t hey dont accept my insurance or they want cash only or they dont handle this..
         i cant even think that no one is willing to treat me or give me treatment for the cancer like the radiation..if i cant have the surgery dont you think that at least they should try and slow it down or kill the cells some way...my husband and i do ..
        so i was wondering if this sounds crazy or stupid to you all..i would welcome suggestions or advice or tips..im so exhausted from talking so many people all day to anyone who would listen to my story..i have been fighting like a bull trying to find myself some hope..
   i am doing all i can for the requirements for the gastric but i rather find another way other than re arranging my insides..
              thanks for listening

Hey Chatty53,
Hang in there.  I just wanted to remind you, as you said, your cancer is only stage 1 right now.  There is no one that would do radiation treatment for that.  My cancer was stage 2b and I did not even need radiation and chemotherapy.  Right now at stage 1, your cancer is well contained inside the uterus.  My cancer, at 2b, was just into the muscle wall but not out of the uterus containment.  You do have plenty of time to lose some weight to have the gastric bypass and then go get the cancer surgery before you would get to stage 3 but seriously you need to find a way to calm down and focus on what you need to be actively doing.  You know I know this is scary.  Maybe I was more calm because my mom had had cancer 3 times in her life and she lived to 74, ultimately dying from her COPD not cancer.  But I would suggest you check out the information on the American Cancer Society website.  For me, more of my fear usually comes from the unknown.  The first thing I did when I was diagnosed with cancer was learn everything I possibly could about it.   And now I am having the RNY 9/29 and I have spent the last year losing weight and learning everything I possibly can about it.  I know is harder because of your situation you have to go about learning about both and facing your fears about both all at the same time.   Stay strong and think positive.  As I said before, you can PM me anytime you want.
