Not having surgery

Hi TN friends, I called Dr. Colquitt's office in Knoxville/Maryville area regarding if I would qualify for surgery with this disease I found out I have. They said no. I found out from the second MRI, today that I have Bone Marrow Disease. Leukemia, cancer of the bone. I am devastated. I start seeing an Oncologist next week, to see what treatment he will be doing for me. I also see the Pain Clinic on the 25th regarding them wanting to put a pain pump in me as my bones hurt so much. I ask for all prayers and support as I now have to deal with this. I so wanted the surgery. Now that dream will never happen. Thank you and best of luck to all. Love Kathy PS I will still continue to check the board and be there for anyone and everyone. God Be with you all.

Kathy, I am so sorry to hear this news. I will be thinking of you and hoping for a speedy remission of the leukemia. It has been beat before, you can do this, just remember that you do have the strength to beat it! I hope the pain pump gets in quickly and helps relieve the pain for you! -j

Kathy, I am sooo sorry to hear the news. Right now you have to concentrate on keeping yourself well and beating this. I will pray for you and you will be in my thoughts, I know we haven't talked much but as I read posts you have been so supportive to so many people, you deserve the support now. It can be beat, and even though it might not seem like it, God doesn't let good deeds go unseen. If you need someone to talk to, I'm here. Your in my thoughts and prayers, and good luck.

Sorry, to hear your news. I know you were looking forward to the surgery. God however, has another plan for you. We may not see it today or tomorrow but one day we will. Continue to let your light shine and hold your head up. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. We will all be here for you if you need us. Remember you can this.

Kath, I am so sorry, hun, that you have ran into another roadblock. You have been such wonderful support for all of us even when you were getting turned down by doctor after doctor. I will keep you in my prayers that you beat this thing quickly and as painlessly as possible. Kelly

Thank you all so very much for your prayers and support. I don't know what lies ahead of me except for chemo. I'm already losing my crowning glory My hair, and I will lose weight. But this isn't what I would have chosen to lose weight by. I will try and check my postings, even if I have to get a wireless laptop and lay in bed. I will stay in touch. Bless each of you, and May God guide you on your journeys. With love to my OH.com friends, Kathy
