Kidney Tumor

I'm so glad you did well with your lymphoma.  I hope we can be co-survivors, as well as fellow DSers!

Thanks for the advice about milk thistle. I remember reading about its effect on liver health long ago.  I'll check with the doctor and hunt some up.

I'm having trouble at the present moment with protein shakes, but I know your advice on this is good.  I'll redouble my efforts with them.

Thank you for your thoughtful reply

Oh Lenore!  I'm so sorry to hear this!  I hope they can biopsy it soon and get you a definitive diagnosis.  Waiting for tests, procedures, and results is the worst!  I had acute leukemia 16 years ago, with only a 20% chance of survival, and I'm still here!  Hopefully your tumor is benign and you won't even have to worry about treatment.  I'll be swinging my cats and sending lots of positive energy your way.  PM me anytime!  Take good care! 

Wow, Laura. You reveal something incredible about yourself with every post and PM. It's an honor to have you as my angel! 

How are you doing this week? Is eating getting easier?

Lenore - I am praying like crazy that you are the other ten percent.    Please keep us posted, even if you just want to drop a line every day to vent your fears, your hopes and concerns.   Many gentle hugs. 

Thank you, Julie.  I am planning to use you as my role model in being a studious and vigilant patient. You are truly amazing!

Big hugs to you Lenore.  I'm so sorry you have to go through this.  I will be praying for you and your family.
hugs~

Thanks, Jackie.  I hope things are going better for you now than they were.  Be well.

You have my good thoughts and prayers.   Sounds like one more way the DS saves lives!   I hate that you're going through this.   I am, on the other hand, glad that it was discovered so much earlier than it would have been otherwise.

Of course, I'm pulling for the 10% chance that it's benign.

You're 100% right, Dennie. The DS has been lucky for me in a very unexpected way.  I hope my luck continues.  Thanks for your good wishes.

Lenore,
I am praying for you as well.  Please know your DS family is here for you every step of the way.  The response you have so far are making me weepy.  It sounds very positive to me.  DS women are strong and tumors should fear US, not the other way around.  Big hugs Lenore.
