Diagnosis
Well, I just got off the phone with my surgeon, and he says that the pathology came back that I have fallopian tube cancer. It is in the same ballpark as ovarian, but it has 80% good responce rate to chemo treatment. So I guess that is an answer to prayer. Anyways, I have my follow up appt with him next Thurs. at which time we will hear what the plan is. I have to know Google and read all about Fallian tube cancer. I don't think I ever heard of anyone who had that. Why do I have to be different??????? Deb

Hi Deb,
ReplyDeleteThat is hilarious about the mix up in flowers. Poor Stan the Man! I am feeling so positive about your "new" diagnosis. It really does sound like an answered prayer. Praise God. Keep that ice on your tummy and be a good patient by listening to all your nurses. You are very much loved and thought about.
Keeping my fingers crossed, knees bent, and prayers going up!
Love

Not different....let's just say unique.
ReplyDeleteHi Mrs. Hoksbergen,
ReplyDeleteI know that this is a random message, it's Jessica "Vandenberg" Cioffi. I was visiting with the Yamaoka's yesterday while I am in town from California and Wendy told me about your health. My Mom also had fallopian tube cancer 5 years ago. If you would like to talk to someone that has been through it I am sure she would be happy to talk to you! She is 5 years cancer free and I am sure we will be saying the same for you in 5 years! Many prayers are being sent your way.

Here's a flash from the past for you from the Martens family. We heard about your recent 'adventure', and want you to know that we are thinking about you and your family. Your prayer circle has widened into Maryland! It's great to see the pictures on your blog-I love the one of Deb, Mieke, and Sylvia- such beautiful women!
ReplyDeleteI know it may be hard to see now, but blessings abound when one is confronted with a serious diagnosis. We have experienced it with Andrew's leukemia, and you are already getting a taste of it. The love of friends and family is so powerful- that and your faith will get you through the tough times. Just remember that this will be a marathon, not a sprint- so just take each day as it comes. Use humor and good memories to distract you, and take ALL pain pills offered.
Here's a childhood memory for you: Remember the crazy adventures we used to go on with the Vermuelens, Vanwingerdens, and Martens? Mystery tours of Belle Isle? Christmas parties with great food and carols at the piano? Camping together, and especially a trip to the NY World's Fair? I was just in Detroit, and drove past your old house on Beaconsfield. We had such idyllic childhoods in Grosse Pointe!
Continue to rest in that recliner, let people take care of you, and know that you are loved!

Hi Deb,
ReplyDeleteWe are keeping you in our prayers and are picturing you in perfect health. I have thought about you a lot this past week, but even more today. It is Reagan's 12th birthday and I remembered that besides Dr. Jurgeon, Glenn and myself, you were with us on that very special day. It is a great memory for us :) Hope we can help you out in some way.
Much love and prayers,
Becky McCaw and family
Hey deb and fam,
ReplyDeleteWe will be praying for all. When the floor drops out like this, you really experience what life is all about, what prayer is all about, and what Jesus is all about. He met us in the midst of this like never before in our lives, and that gives me more hope than anything is that your life will never be the same. We are with you through this and thankful you are blogging and keeping us updated. We would love to come out, or at least send Lib and Ava out to help after a chemo treatment. Ava will cheer you up! Deb, stay encouraged. Your life is hidden in Him, and through Him you can endure anything. Talk to you soon!
