I am still left!! I need to get in gear. I've got all my tests done, they should be receiving my last test result today. There is one little hold up (well I'm not sure if it is a hold up yet), but last month they found a mass the size of a fist on my ovary. I had a biopsy and it came back normal and then went to see a specialist. He put me on Provera (progesterone) for 10 days and said there was a 75% chance that it would help to shrink it down, otherwise I'll need surgery. The funny thing is that i don't even know it's there, they sent me for the ultrasound because I was having abnormal bleeding. I am suppose to go back for another Ultrasound next week to see if there is any change. I am hoping that darn thing is either shrunk really small or gone! I am sooo ready to move on with this surgery! Did you mention that there is a meeting this Thurs evening? I keep meaning to make it to all of these social events but then something ends up coming up. Are the pre-ops invited to this meeting Thurs? This is a fantastic support group, who could ask for more!!

Default Bridget,

You have helped me personally learn so much. For all the questions I've had and still have, which have been answered or asked by so many on this site, I am eternally greatful! Some questions I didn't even know to ask have been here for the reading. How cool is that?

I am still here, waiting for last lab to come in. Then we have to pray this gets kicked in high gear or I will be in same boat as Rick, insurance limbo. We change insurance Sept 1.
