I go in for a second opinion on the "cancer" I was told I have on September 29. When I went in to the clinic last week, they were a little pissy when I said I was going somewhere else. Ummm...sort of makes me wonder. I also wondered how they could make such a blatent statement without doing a biopsy...I would think you would try to put your patient at ease instead of freaking them out. Which is why I called a few places, and now that my medical insurance has kicked in, I'm free to go to one of them.

I know I've heard horror stories about people getting needless surgery, medications, treatments...because the place doing it said they "had to do it". I'm sure others have as well. They told me they will no longer provide me medications unless I start treatment. Treatment on a disease that I may not have...*shrugs*

And the worst part is that this clinic seems to have a reputation for this sort of thing...had I known I would not have gone there. I've recently spoken to a few of their past clients who had the same thing happen to them...only to find out there was nothing wrong. WTF???

I am asking for a little help from anyone who cares. Please keep me in your thoughts, prayers, or rituals...heehee...I really would appreciate it. I want to get my results back in October and find out there is nothing wrong with me and that all this worrying was for nothing. I am prepared to face whatever comes my way, but I hope for the best...I just hope that the few people who have supported me in the past will continue to do so.

What are you still doing here? Go back to all the fun!!! :D

Sammy, I really hope that the doctors you've spoken to are totally fucking useless. I hope they've made a terrible mistake. You're a great person and you don't deserve this. But if worse comes to worse and you are ill, I hope you know that I am here for you and am keeping you in my thoughts.

Take care.

I'll light a candle for you at Mass tonite Sam, God Bless.

And Goddess too.
 
You'll be in my thoughts and prayers. Please, please get a second opinion, this is to important to be left to chance. Also of interest to you might be a recent documentary on cancer that HBO did. Here's a link to the corresponding web page. Hopefully at least becoming more knowledgable about your specific type of cancer will prevent stupid doctors from frightening you. Guess I'm a proactive kinda gal.

I hope everything goes well for you, Sammy Jo. You've been through a lot of turmoil these past few months.

I think it's terrible for a clinic to give you the cold shoulder because you're seeking a second opinion. They're in the caring professions. They should be offering you support and help whatever you decide to do.

It's your health, so it's good to see that you're actively making sure you get the best medical advice or treatment.
 
Sammy feel my good thought's I will send them to you with all my being.
 
My good thoughts and wishes go out to you Sammy!

Good luck, dear! :)

Nothing but good wishes. Someone I know went through it all a couple of years back, and she's well now. More than well. I wish the best for you.
 
You got 'em,,,

All the happy thoughts, best wishes, and prayers that I have,,,
and all of those that I have yet to find are sent your way.
 
I never thought I'd say this, but for once I hope you had a Dr. as bad as the ones around here.

My thoughts are with you, hon. Good luck and let us know.
 
I just wanted to add my good wishes. I think it is very important to get a second opinion. Take care & know that I am thinking of you.
 
Sammyjo, just wanted you to know that there is one more in your corner. Hope that everything comes back as a clean bill of health for you.
 
Sammyjo having been through a cancer scare myself back in February all I can say is this, "You are in my thoughts,prayers and heart"
You have my email if you need to talk-
((((((((((((hugs sammyjo))))))))))))
 
Good luck Sammyjo. A friend of mine is going through a similar thing, and it is rough on everyone. My prayers are with you tonight, too.
 
Always get a second opinion, and a third, and a forth. If you don't have confidants in your doctor drop him or her. The prayers do help, I'll keep you in my prayers.

Peace, Chal
 
Thank you everyone!!!

I just spoke to my sister last night, and she had the same thing happen to her at this very clinic...grrrrrrrrrr...turns out nothing was ever wrong with her. She subsequently went to another clinic and found out the same thing I've just found out...they seem to tell a lot of people they have abnormal pap smears. And when you don't want to play the game the way they want to play it, they tend to get a little upset.

Ok...I also want to say that I'm going to be an aunt sometime in April...yeah!!! Only thing bad about it is that they are in Utah :( I guess I'll have to start saving money for yet another trip...only this one will be WAY worth it. I haven't seen my sister in over 2 years.
 
So if you never had cancer in the first place, what were all your symptoms from? Weren't you really tired and not functioning for awhile? And in pain? Are you sure there isn't something else wrong?
 
I don't know if I have it or not...that's why I'm getting the second opinion.

I just don't know if this clinic is being truthful with me. If I get the same results somewhere else, there isn't much to argue with...however, if I get different results, then I have another dilemma.

I have been very sick...still dragging my ass out of bed to get to work. I'm barely able to function when I get there. I zone out. I'm tired. I'm nauseous. I'm having constant migraines. I've got pain in certain areas of my body. And more...

The clinic may have been totally truthful, but I need to be sure. I need to know if something is wrong and what it is that is wrong.
