Today is one of those days I just want to not think about or feel but all sort of thoughts running through head as well as feelings.Going into Orlando regional hospital in Florida to have an operation to remove cancer that was found on scans recently.I really don't want to go back underneath the knife however if i don't from what the doctors have told me I could become a goner as the cancer is cutting of vital structures in my neck which is also causing many other symptoms such as breathing difficulties,swallowing difficulties,blood flow being minimized if not cut off.

Feeling on edge because don't know how much is going to be removed and if I will even be able to talk ever again as the cancer is cutting off vocal cords as well not anything I would wish upon my worst enemies.I am feeling very on edge as I will be under general anesthesia and every time I have a surgery I start reliving aspects of my abuse especially as my abuse has been physical as well as sexual let alone taking abuse from my spouse over the last couple of years.

Will be in the hospital for at least a day maybe even more depending on how much surgery I have to endure and what is being removed such as the first thing will be the thyroid and then working from there as both lobes are possibly cancerous.I will try to have someone update you all as to how I am doing and what my condition is.
 
Yeah, me too. Hope it goes well.
 
Jasper,

Thanks for caring my friend I will need all the prayers I can get right now even though I don't know if they will work still on the outs when it comes to that issue in my life.

(((((Andrew))))) - I hope hugs are ok...

I don't much like doc's myself... - I hope that they'll be able to take care of the cancer with as little permanent damage to you as possible - I hope that you'll be able to keep us updated... - wishing you a successfull surgery and a speedy recovery...

Andrew76,

A close friend of mine faced cancer last year, and it was a terrifying thing for him, and for those who care of him. I can not imagine what it is, how frightening it is to you right now. I will be wishing you well, and thinking good thoughts for you and a rapid (and total) recovery.

Andrew - try and stay positive (easy to say I know). Just remember there are over 2600 people here that care about you.

Best wishes ...Rik
