Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Diabetes / December 2007Update on husband OT
First, I must say that nobody told him he had cancer. Why he was going around telling people this is beyond me. But I believed him when he said it. Assumed the Dr. must have told him this. Grrr... The surgeon said he removed a massive tumor from his kidney. The biggest one he had ever seen. Said it had been there for years. Had a hard time removing it because it was surrounded with tightly packed fat. Said he won't know the prognosis until Monday. He may or may not need additional surgery and this operation may or may not take care of the other problems he has been having. That's all I know! > First, I must say that nobody told him he had cancer. Why he was going > around telling people this is beyond me.

I should just never repeat anything he says. He gers so much stuff wrong. >> The surgeon said he removed a massive tumor from his kidney. The biggest >> one he had ever seen.

I have no problem with that. Take care.  SignatureNick. Support severely wounded and disabled Veterans and their families! I've known US vets who served as far back as the Spanish American War. They are all my heroes! Thank a Veteran and Support Our Troops. You are not forgotten.

He was going on and on to my mom about how "They got all the cancer...". We don't know why he thinks that. > First, I must say that nobody told him he had cancer.

Keep us posted Julie! My thoughts are with you. Michelle C., T2 diet & exercise www.musicbydalelynch.com P.S. How is your daughter doing? Is her cold getting better? Did you manage to avoid it? > First, I must say that nobody told him he had cancer. Why he was going > around telling people this is beyond me.

Maybe he heard "tumor" & assumed it meant "cancer", if it wasn't directly modified by "benign", and especially if the pathology report wasn't in. If it is cancer, I hope you get a really good support group (for you) for information, venting, & general support (just like here, but more focused on kidney/cancer issues); at least then you can find out what you need to know, questions to ask, what the issues are, tips for coping, etc. & even if he won't listen you'll have the background info to deal with things better. I hope all is going well with the recovery from surgery. bj > Maybe he heard "tumor" & assumed it meant "cancer", if it wasn't directly > modified by "benign", and especially if the pathology report wasn't in. That's what we're thinking. My mom said when she saw him this morning he kept going on and on about how they got all the cancer. Right now he isn't making a lot of sense but he's still on a lot of pain meds. > If it is cancer, I hope you get a really good support group (for you) for > information, venting, & general support (just like here, but more focused [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > questions to ask, what the issues are, tips for coping, etc. & even if he > won't listen you'll have the background info to deal with things better. I think there is one at the hospital. > I hope all is going well with the recovery from surgery.

Check the kidney association, the ACOR lists, and Yahoo groups. There may also be non-hospital-connected kidney &/or cancer groups in the area that you can look into; they may have online or person-to-person phone network/contacts as well (I know my thyca group does). All you need is to get one way into the "network" & you'll be able to find other resources. The hospital social worker should be able to get you a start on information. Best wishes. bj > If the group at the hospital doesn't suit you (for any or no reason) > there's [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > information. > Best wishes. Thanks!
