I found out that I have cancer=(

[Hollywood Rock Chic]

The results were not good. They found cancerous cells in my cervix. I go in on the 30th of this month, to have the affected tissues removed. Please pray for me. I am scared, but I am also optimistic...

Did you even consider fooling around with Gardasil?

They give that shot for young women, under the age of 26 to prevent them from developing cervical cancer from HPV. I am pretty sure, the cancer I have is from smoking in the past, not from a std.

The reason I asked this was because there have been reports about ill
effects from this supposed HPV vaccine which include damage to the Liver
and Pancreas as well as chronic fatigue. I feel that this drug has the potential
to be very dangerous and more reasearch should be done on it. I think you
should go on youtube and search "Gardasil" and you will find a numer of videos
about people who have been vaccinated with it and the ill effects they now
suffer as a result including a 12 year old girl in Illinois who now suffers from
chronic Pancreatitis. These videos are very informative.

[ponytail]

I'll be praying for you. You can beat this!

Yes, I know about the side effects of Gardasil. HPV is one of the most common std. More than 50% of sexually active people have it in their lives. You can even get HPV if you are a virgin; but, the disease ususally goes away if you have a healthy immune system; that is why they want young girls to get the shot; you can still get HPV if you are wearing a condom. My cancer was caused from smoking for over 20 years; cigarette smoking causes the cells in the cervix to change that leads to cancer. That is why smoking is so horrible; and, I would not wish this habit on my worse enemy. I am paying the price for allowing myself to be an addict to this insiduous desire to light up...

[*InThisMoment*]

I'm so sorry you're going through this. :( I'm praying for you and I hope things will go well.

[sunshinefizzy]

I pray for a speedy recovery and I know you are strong enough to get through this.

You are in my praeyrs. Stay strong and have faith in God and you will get through this :)

[MonarC]

Hopefully they caught it in time. I will keep you in my prayers and try to stay positive.

[Dusty's Fan]

I've made the acquaintance of three people with cancer in recent years, and all three are women. And all three are now doing very well following their treatments. You will be in my thoughts and prayers, and we'll be hearing from you after you're free from cancer. Best to you.

[PZelda]

Oh man, Tara. :bighug: Here's to hoping everything goes well on the 30th and that they get everything out! Be sure to take some ibuprofen beforehand - if I am remembering correctly, the procedure is going to hurt a fair bit.

[Courtnee]

Aww, I'm so sorry to hear that. :(

[Janice]

Tara, my heart, my soul and all my prayers are with you. I can only imagine how you feel. If you'd like to talk, just send me your number.

Yes, smoking is so devastating toward health that it is best never to start
this deadly habit. Where you able to stop smoking?

Tara, you know that you're my best friend and I love you very much, my prayers are with you and I know in my heart that you're going to be just fine. I love you!! :bighug:

[dawsongirl]

I very sorry to hear this! Good thing you are wise in getting regular checkups. Helps save lives! You already seem more optimistic than I could ever be, so you'll be over this in no time. Just immerse yourself in happy things until the 30th.


I hate how they wait so long for these procedures. I'd want it out NOW.

[Hollywood Rock Chic]

I want to thank everyone for their prayers and their thoughts. I am currently living life, One Day at a Time. I am also, surprising, not that upset. A little scared, but I am still living my life, working out, looking forward to school, smiling, etc. Life is very precious, and even though I now faced with a challenge, I still feel very blessed. I am a very strong person, and I know I will get through this:)

And, I cannot wait till the 30th..Cut this crap out of me..:lol:;)

[catlover79]

Yes, Tara, you are a VERY strong woman and if anyone can beat this, it's you. God bless you!! :bighug:

[browneyes106]

You will be in my prayers.

[Pus$y Galore]

:bighug: Tara - take care Sweety, and try not to be too scared. Sounds like they've caught it quite early and it IS fully curable. If you'd like to talk, pm me directly. I've had a couple of those surgeries myself (once for pre-cancerous lesions). Good thing you went in for those tests when you did.

[Brad Russ]

I am so sorry I didn't see this thread sooner, as I haven't been online in a few days. I'm so sorry this turned out to be cancer Tara. I know that many have been hoping, and praying (myself included), that it wouldn't be. :( You are one of the strongest and most amazing people I've EVER known, and I believe with all my heart that you will get through this. You will have me hitting my knees and praying like crazy, and I know that many others here will be doing the same thing. You are one of my best friends of all time, And I Love You So Much, and I want you to know that I'm here for you during this difficult time!! If you need ANYTHING, I'm here!!! :heart: :heart: :heart:

My doctor found only two area that have pre-cancerous and cancerous cells. I having those infected areas cut out on the 30th. There is a good chance that I will still be able to have children; no chemo or having a hysterectomy. The downside, which is FINE with me, is that I need to see the doctor every 3 months. Am I scared, hell yes!!!; but, I am also positive that I am going to be okay:) And, Cathie, if I ever need someone to talk to, I know you will be the perfect person. THANK YOU:)

[The Great One]

All the best for a full recovery!

[steevo]

Tara- God bless you. I too will be praying for you.

So happy to see that you are staying positive. Have faith, you will beat this.:wave:

Same here. I don't know if it was going to be just day surgery or they were going to keep her in for a few days. I suppose it depends on how the surgery went.

Tara you're still in our thoughts and prayers. Hope everything goes well!

[MonarC]

Hopefully we will know something soon. :heart:

Hey, everyone. Once again, THANK YOU, for all of your continue support; as Lauren mentioned, yes, I had to reschedule (for Friday the 13th of February). The surgery will last for an hour and it is an out patient situation, meaning that after the procedure it done, I am able to go home.

[catlover79]

^ We love you, Tara!! :bighug: We are all hoping and praying for the best.

Hi Tara, hope all goes well when you do go on that day; you are in my thoughts and prayers.
If you need to talk; I'm there for you!! (Sending you a big hug)

[Pus$y Galore]

Tara, don't let this bother you too much. I have a very strong feeling you'll be fine. They use a new kind of anesthetic now that allows you to wake up much easier and faster and it doesn't make you feel as sick as the old ones.

Don't forget to wear warm socks that day (even ones you don't mind if they throw them out because you'll be wearing booties to the OR). It's just sometimes you have to sit for quite a while waiting and I found I got cold after a while. Usually though if you can let one of the nurses know, she'll get you a blanket. Also bring something to read and don't worry about jewelry or anything - you have to put your stuff in a locker anyway.

You may feel some cramping afterwards when you first wake up. It'll be like bad menstrual cramps/gas. If it's bad enough, again, let the nurses know and they'll give you something for the pain. The pain really doesn't last all that long anyway luckily.

Again, you know if you want to talk you can PM anytime. Friday the 13th is my lucky day - and I'm aiming all the luck towards you this year! :hugs:

[MonarC]

I will keep you in my prayers Tara. :heart:

[steevo]

Tara,

Thank you for letting us know. I will keep you in my prayers as well. :wave:

Tara you go kick that cancers ass :cool:

[Doodyville10019]

Tara, hang tough and stay strong! Any type of cancer is beatable - my mother in law did it 5 times in her lifetime! Do whatever it takes to beat this - some of it will be painful for sure but in the end you will emerge victorious! You're in my thoughts and prayers!

[MonarC]

Tara has surgery today guys. I think we should all say a little prayer for her to be strong and have a very successful surgery.

[80s_Fan]

I have a very strong feeling that Tara will be just fine.
She's in my thoughts and prayers; she will beat this.

[Hollywood Rock Chic]

Ardis, first, thank you, soooo much for remembering; I am beyond touched with your sweet gesture; and Lauren, thank you, too (I am sorry that I missed your call). The surgery went well (it only last fifteen minutes). My doctor removed the infected tissues. The cancer did not spread or become more advanced. I am fine, no chemo, not removing of any major body organs. I can still have children. And, I thank you, all of you, for your prayers...:)

Nope, and the power of prayer is very strong; it was weird or maybe this is not ironic, while I was in surgery, I felt the presence of some of the members of SO; which, maybe feel a lot better and at ease. Prior to I was so nervous, I was shaking!
