Cancer Update
Posted on July 31, 2008
Filed Under The "C" word, Uncategorized |
*Updated update (Thursday) - another cat scan scheduled for today. This time to look into the chest at lymph nodes. Possible surgery for another biopsy depending on cat scan. There is a part of the colon that hasn’t been getting enough blood flow. There is also a mass around that part of the colon. They don’t know if the mass was preventing a certain part of the colon from getting enough blood or vise versa.
A little more than 48 hours ago, an emergency room doctor showed me two cat scans of my colon and told me I had cancer.*** In the same breath, he told me he was admitting me to the oncology ward of the hospital and appointments with an oncologist, gi-specialist, another internal medicine guy (I can’t remember the name of), and surgeon were being set up.
Over that time much as happened. Aside from tears shed, IV’s changed, and multitude of nurse/doctor visits, there have also been tests conducted to find out exactly what we’re up against.
From the previous cat scans it looked as if a chunk of colon was obstructed by a large mass. But today, the doctor performing the colonoscopy found no such mass. The colon is very, very inflammed, but no mass. The biopsy results are still out, but the doctor thinks the odds of cancer in the colon are very small.
The doctor who conducted that test then spoke with the oncologist afterward. And so far, while the oncologist hasn’t ruled out lymphoma completely, he says my chances of having that are small based on what results are coming in.
I’ll take “small chance.”
Now they think it might be that at some point my appendix became so inflamed that the gunk inside of it started to ooze out but the body has been building some sort of wall against it. Or they think it might be some weird colon thing I’ve yet to research. Or some sort of abscess. They are pumping me up with antibiotics and fluids. I think an exploratory surgery is planned. One more doctor still needs to review the case and test results in greater detail. He still needs to consult with the other ones. But for now, the outlook is much more positive.
Thank you, thank you THANK YOU all a thousand times for your comments of support, love and cheer. I cried as I read them. And for once it wasn’t the “Oh God, what’s going to happen to my little boy. He may grow up without his mom” cry. It was the “All of these people are cheering me on. And that’s so moving.” cry.
Thank you for the e-mails and visits, cards, everything. Am not sure when I’ll get to go home. Hopefully by Friday or Saturday. (5-6 days in the hospital. Hope they send me home with extra morphine. I’ll need it when I open this bill.)
OK. I need to sign off now. Am all woozy from Ambien. So I guess that means its time to sleep. But just wanted to post an update. More will be written in future…. Thank you so much.
***The ER doctor had consulted with the radiologist so please don’t think he just threw out that diagnosis to scare the hell out of us. The cat scan looks really scarey.

Great news! Sorry you are still in the waiting game and I hope they figure out what the deal is soon. But whew! You take me back to the days when my newborn baby was very ill - one day she was possibly being whisked off to open heart surgery and the next, it was all talk about her going home. Roller coaster rides, oh so much fun. Sweet dreams. So glad things are looking better.
Oh Lisa, so good to hear this. You keep being strong girl - and we will continue to do our part here.
Much, much love.
Carrie
oh, Lisa. Jae already filled me in a little, but this - this is - oh, god.
praise your probably-not-cancerous colon.
hallefreakinlujah, babe.
(((((((you))))))))
Oh, so relieved to read that bit of news that may blossom into GREAT news. Came over from Toddler Planet to give you my best. I’ll be thinking of you.
oh lisa! I hope it is nothing, just a scare! I am so thinking about you!! I will continue to think good thoughts. thanks for the update!!
I am so happy that things are better than first thought, but I am still worried for you and your family. Sending you lots of positive vibes, prayers and best wishes. May you find answers to your medical condition and may you be on the mends as soon as possible. HUGS!
Prayers work! I’m so excited that it could be something simple and easy to treat, and just plain NOT cancer!
I’m sure you had a big sigh of relief after speaking with the doctors today. I hope they’re able to pinpoint exactly what’s causing your pain soon. You are in my thoughts. {{{hugs}}}
Thank God, Lisa. I’m tempted to come out there and put a stranglehold on that first doctor for his/her premature bombshell of a diagnosis…but more than that, I’m just going to be grateful for this news and continue to send you virtual hugs and strength. Hang in there…I’ll be thinking of you.
That’s terrific news! I am so happy! I mean, it still sucks that you’re sick and all, but “small chance” of cancer vs. something treatable like an abscess or infection? Awesome.
Hang in there! We’re all still here for you! ((hugs))
See what positive thoughts can bring…
Thinking of you still…SO happy to hear some good news.
I am so happy and relieved that things are looking more positive. What a scary couple of days! My prayers are still with you and your family.
Wow, what a roller coaster you have been on these past couple of days. Nic called me yesterday with an update, and I was very relieved to heard that the “C” word may not be part of this equation. I wish you the very best in the upcoming poke-and-prod festival, and I hope they figure out what’s going on quickly! Continuing to pray for you and your family.
I want to kill those fucking ER docs that don’t know what they are talking about, but this sounds good. I am optimistic, but still cautious. THANK YOU for the update. Now get some rest and let us know what’s up when you find out. xxoo *hugs*
Ohhhhhh sweetie. What an ordeal you have been through! I am sooooo relieved the outlook is much better. Having lived through cancer with those dearest to me, I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. Prayers sent your way!
It seems to me that if an ER doc is going to use the big C word, he’d better be darn sure that that’s what is going on!!
What a roller coaster you’ve been on. But what a fantastic ending. Two “small” chances. Excellent. I’m confident that you’re going to continue to get awesome news, and that in a few years you’ll look back at this and laugh about how you “remember the time I had Mexican food/appendicitis/gas and they thought it was cancer?”
Amy @ http://prettybabies.blogspot.com
Crossing fingers, toes, earlobes that the outlook remains positive!
I can’t believe you are taking the time to post updates…and even read your comments! You should know that virtually every St. Louis (and beyond) blog featured you this week and tried to send well-wishers your way.
It’s an amazing community we have here, really.
I am so so glad they are narrowing down on what your specific issue is, so proper treatment can be started. Sometimes not know FOR SURE causes your brain to think of every bad possibility at once. You need something to focus on!
Selfishly, I thank you for the updates and will continue praying for you.
kisses…hugs…prayers….all coming your way…for all of you!
Hoorah! Let’s hope it was just an anomaly and turns out you just need an apendectomy. You don’t need no stinkin’ appendix!
Whew! I’m digging the much more positive outlook. Srsly. Big fat sigh and another prayer for you that things keep moving in the positive direction. I hope this is all just a scare that served to remind you (and all of us) just how precious life really is. Although a reminder is a good thing, this kind of reminder is way more torture than gentle nudge.
Love and girly hugs. I hope you’re doing fine, and when I get back from Mississippi, I want to try to get together when you feel up to it.
Praying! Glad the doctors are moving quickly to figure out what is going on.
I know it’s still a bit early but that seems to be really great news! I’m so happy to hear the docs don’t think it’s colon cancer. I’m thrilled for you and hope that whatever it is, it’s easily treatable.
Now go get some rest, you deserve it!
Hi Lisa-
I just got the news last night about 10:30 when Dad called. After reading the latest just now, I feel a little relieved but still am very concerned. I don’t know and can’t even imagine the thoughts that run through someones head when they get that sort of news. Hang in there- you,ve got SOOOO many people and family that are praying for you and who love you. If there is anything I can do- please do not hesitate to contact me.- Love, your cousin- John
Just saw you had done a new post & it is so much more encouraging. At least the Doctors are doing plenty of tests to find out what’s going on. I pray that the news will keep getting better for you!
I was so happy to hear this new last night!! So mad at the Drs for giving you this horrible scare so prematurely…..still praying that it will turn up to NOT be cancer and something else minor that can be fixed relatively easy….I’m STILL sending you good healing vibes, body, heart and soul.
I read and re-read this post and am rooting that it’s all been a big misunderstanding - that all you need is some rest, an a rogue appendix removed… crossing my fingers.
WOW. What news! I never thought I’d be so happy to hear about someone’s appendix or colon issue.
I am sure you are sleeping soundly right now. Enjoy your peaceful slumber.
So far, so good! I vote for “something that can be cleared up with some antibiotics.”
Hugs and kisses.
This sounds hopeful, YOU sound hopeful. I will continue to keep you and your “whatever the heck illness this is” kicking self in my thoughts.
I see this as an answer to all the prayers said for you in the past 48 hours!
I’ll keep praying!
My thoughts are with you. Praying for good news!!!
Awesome news! Here’s to continuous positive vibes coming from the internetz!
Good luck!
I will be thinking good thoughts from appendectomy HQ over here!!! Lots of love to you.
I am glad everything is ok for now. I hope things for you continue to improve.
I am so glad to hear this news, Lisa. How unfair to put you through the cancer scare, though! Someone needs to give those doctors a good talking to! And who better than a passel of MommyBloggers
Take care of yourself and keep us udpated!!
OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*hugs*
Congratulations, “small chance” is great news. I hope that the news just gets better from here. We are still thinking of you and your family and praying for your health. Take care of yourself! =)
I am so very happy for your “small chance” which hopefully really means slim to no chance. I hope all comes back well and that you can regroup and get home soon. I can’t imagine the wide array of emotions over the past 48 hours but am happy that you have found yourself inundated with well wishes.
I will continue to keep you and your family in my thoughts and hope to hear soon that there is nothing of major consequence wrong with you.
Wow, what a difference 48 hours makes. Great news.
That cheering sound you just heard was me here in Michigan jumping up and down (oh yes I did) yelling “oh my god oh my god it’s not cancer it’s not cancer!!!!!” (I’m ignoring that small chance, if you don’t mind
Followed immediately by my desire to strangle that E.R. doc. How can he tell you “it’s cancer” and be so wrong? But mostly, I just want to hug you and hug your family and heck, hug your dog and say whatever it is, if it involves surgery and recovery and pain and more IVs than you care to think about, you have me here sending you positive waves of love and encouragement and support.
what a relief! thinking about you… hope they figure this out SOON.
I am so very, very happy for you. I was admitted to the hospital the first of June with your same symptoms. CT scan showed pelvic mass. Next several weeks were filled with doctor visits, blood tests, heart tests, ultra sounds and ultimately surgery for ovarian cancer. I start my chemo next week. It has been so unreal, like waking up in someone else’s horrible nightmare life and just wanting my normal life back. I found out yesterday that mine was got early which is very rare, most aren’t which puts my survival at 80% instead of the 20%. Looks like we both got some good news.
I hope all continues to go well for you and you get home soon, back to your family and a blessed normal life! Much prayers go your way. Peace
Whatever the diagnosis, be sure to get a second opinion. My aunt’s intestinal problems were incorrectly diagnosed as diverticulitis. She had a rare form of cancer, Mantle Cell Lymphoma, that went unchecked for three years.
This seems to be fantastic news. Keep the spirits up. I am definitely rooting you on. Thanks so much for the update.
I hope it is anything but cancer. I checked your blog like ten times yesterday thinking the post I read was my imagination. I am sending you some positive thoughts.
completely amazing and wonderful new is an understatement. Thanks for the update, as I have been thinking about you lots these past few days.
This is the best scenario in which “a small chance” being uttered makes one want to do a happy dance…well, after all the woozy wears off that is!!
Oh, this news makes my heart happy. May they find out that this is nothing that a little medicine and rest and love can’t fix quickly and painlessly. Continued best wishes to you.
Hang in there girl. I am rooting for you fellow Midwesterner. You will dance at your son’s wedding!
Honey, I couldn’t be happier. I breathed such a sigh of relief when Kristie sent me the news.
I do know that this makes me all miss you more and know that when this is all behind you, we need a girls’ weekend.
You take care of yourself. And we’ll be here for whatever you need.
I’m glad to hear the chances are slimmer for cancer. I’m still sending many prayers adn thoughts out for you, your family and the Doctors. I hope they figure it all out soon and you don’t have to wait in this “what’s going on” limbo. I saw they had a link to you at the top of kirtsy and I was so glad that everyone was thinking about you.
Rest up. Get better. Luv ya.
My thoughts and prayers are with you. My fingers are crossed for you. My toes are crossed for you.
So, so glad to hear some (sort of) positive news! I’ve been thinking about you and praying for you and I’ll continue to do so.
Such good news. Have they mentioned diverticulitis? I have that, it’s small pouches in the colon that get infected and can abscess. It’s totally something you can live with.
I think that everyone is erroneously picking on the ER doc. His job is triage and stabilize. With basic screening techniques, he called it like he saw it and got her into a place where they can find out for sure.
This is good, people!
Now it is the time for all the necessary experts to do their thing. This takes time. Imagine the opposite, if the ER doc just gave her antibiotics and sent her home. What if it does turn out to be a fast growing serious cancer (or other item). She’s MUCH better off being where she is than at home.
I would praise the ER doc for getting her to this point. It’s very unfortunate that it is stressful and frightening, though.
Praying for an accurate and hopefully quick diagnosis.
Well..what did you expect w/ 974 million prayers and good wishes. Do you believe in miracles..I think we may have had one.
We just did that appendix thing w/ my step son…once there is a blockage from your color to your appendix..then there is infection it just gets nasty and painful and dangerous.
That is awesome that they will be able to treat alot of this as an outpatient..how nice for you to get home.
I’ll tell you what I LOVE to do..really love to do. Grocery shopping and laundry. PLEASE take me up on it.
[…] I drove home holding in the tears. This is when I REALLY piss myself off. Lisa gets diagnosed w/ cancer and I’m crying over not being able to stay in my house.. I mean come on, […]
Thanks for the update! I’ve been thinking about you since I read the last post. I’m hoping that you will stay strong through all of this! That bill won’t be worth getting upset about after all you’ve been through!
I’m cheering for you and hope that you will be home soon and everything will be back to normal real soon! Sending you big hugs and lots of love!!
This is good to hear that it likely isn’t cancer.
Has anyone discussed the possibility of endometriosis? I recently had a tennis ball-sized cyst removed from my ovary. It had attached to my colon and had me feel so sick … could hardly keep any food in me. Not trying to play doctor, but just wanted to let you know my experience.
This is excellent news! Sending positive thoughts your way (:
fucking a right doggy! WOOOT!!!! okay, fingers crossed that everything will be fine and all will be well. damn scary.
Praying that it’s not cancer, that all the biopsies come back clean.
Allow yourself to be angry if it turns out to not be cancer. I know that sounds funky, but this is a lot of turmoil to put you through if they weren’t positive. But most of all, we’ll all be joyous for you if it turns out to be wrong!!!
I don’t know you but someone plurked about you! We live in the same metro area. My thoughts are with you!
Hope? I will take it with no questions. I am very glad to read this. So very glad.
After all, are we not supposed to be getting together in the next month or so??
I’m glad you got some good news. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
What a relief Lisa! I know it’s not 100% yet but STILL. You remain in my prayers that the exploratory surgery finds nothing serious. Much love to you, my sweet.
That is wonderful news…things look better! Hopefully you are well into the road to recovery and it is being cleared up with antibotics.
Get some rest and you are still in my thoughts and prayers!
~K
I will personally come and kick the doctors’ asses for scaring the hell out of you if it is negative. Then we will drink to your health abundantly for it being negative. Deal?
Love ya, girl. Hang in there. A lot of people are praying for you right now.
Christina
I also don’t know you but wanted you to know that my thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time
Was so glad to hear the news. We love you lots. I love that you keep us updated but at the same time I can’t but think “That woman’s HARDCORE!”
keeping you in thoughts and prayers and hoping they come back 100% negative for cancer. And that they fix whatever is really wrong!!
“Small chance” never sounded so good.
Sending good thoughts and healing wishes your way…
So happy to hear the “slim chance” news. I’ll be hoping and praying it’s not cancer and something that can be taken care of with great results. I’ve been thinking about you and was so happy to see this update! Take good care.
I seriously hope they figure it out soon and it’s not cancer of any kind. My thoughts are with you and your family.
Crossing all my fingers, toes, both legs, arms, hair and anything else I can cross in hope that it isn’t cancer after all but rather something that can be easily fixed. Hang in there
That is the best news I have heard all day. Keeping my fingers crossed that everything continues to go well.
You’ve been in my thoughts since I read your previous post, and will continue to be in my thoughts. Hang in there - I’m here, thinking of you and sending you tons of positive vibes.
sounding good… hope whatever it is can be discovered quickly and taken care of
when my husband and I were engaged we heard “Cancer” from his doctor. turned out to be a kidney infection, cleared up with 10 dyas of antibiotics. crazy.
still praying…
How frightening. Good luck and God Bless through your ordeal.
I so often don’t know what to say in these situations, but I wanted to say that several of my blogging friends sent me your way, and I’m relieved that things seem more positive today. My thoughts are definitely with you.
My thoughts and prayers are still with you and your family. I pray that the news keeps getting better and better.
Am praying that everything turns out for the best.
You’re in my thoughts.
xoxo
WOOO! I hope the continues on a positive ‘whew’ note.
A small chance is good…I hope the news continues to be positive! Sending love and hugs and good wishes!
I am thinking of you and praying for you. Keep the faith and remember you and God are in control.
Wow, what wonderful news. I was on my way to work this morning when my mom called to update me. Looks like you have another dedicated reader!
Hey girl….Let Marc know (or his parents) that there is a package sitting on your porch for you. I know you all don’t use your front door soooo…..
Still sending you plenty of good love thoughts and get well vibes!
Stay as positive as you can.
You’re in my thoughts.
I’m crossing fingers and hoping for the best news possible. At least the situation looks a little brighter than it did the other day.
I’m thinking of you, hon.
I’ve never been to your blog, but I heard about the last couple of days you have had via other moms. I just had to stop by and send some positive vibes your way. The more, the better, right? HUGS!
Wow…so much information in such a short amt of time. Keep your chin up…no matter what the results. You are in my prayers!
That’s really great news. Tell those doctors to keep bringing it! You are an amazing & strong woman. Prayers, in bucket and boat loads, are heading your way.
We love you.
xo
I found you over on Ruth Dynamite’s blog and just had to comment.
PLEASE have your doctors check into your appendix further. For months doctors thought that my mummy may have had colon cancer, cancer of the omentum or they were just unsure. Turns out that she had stage 4 appendix cancer. A rare (but growing) cancer that is often mistaken for colon cancer.
I am VERY pleased to tell you that my mummy is now 100% cancer free! Cancer free on the table and cancer free in her blood work and CAT Scan weeks later.
If you catch the appendix cancer and have the correct type of radical surgery for you, it can be cured. The problem is that most doctors have never seen appendix cancer. There are few specialists in the US.
www.appendix-cancer.com is a wonderful resource.
I hope that I haven’t scared you. Knowledge is power and you need to be as powerful as you possibly can.
All of my my best thoughts are with you.
That is very good news. I will keep praying for you all the same!
I’m glad you are going to get some answers soon, and I hope this is something (relatively) easily fixable. In the meantime, enjoy the drugs!
you have been in my thoughts constantly babe. Rest up and kick this thing right in the ass.
I will be praying for you this month. Stay strong.
I’m so sorry to hear of this. ((Hugs)). Try and stay strong.
You’ll be in my thoughts.
Hi Lisa. I haven’t been here for a long time but came from Toddler Planet and read this. I’m so sorry. I can imagine how terrifying this is. I’m sending good thoughts your way and a hug. I’ll say a prayer as well, because it can’t hurt:)
Take care sweetie and I hope everything ends up well.
I just heard about your recent diagnosis from Alissa…and I wanted to come by to offer my love and prayers. I am pleased to hear this bit of good news! Best wishes.
I’m a resident and my attending physicians always tell me, “Tissue is the issue”. They never tell anyone that they have cancer until they have a biopsy to prove it. You cannot make a diagnosis of cancer without a tissue biopsy. The most you can do is tell a patient that it looks like cancer, it sounds like cancer, it probably IS cancer….but until the tissue is under the microscope, stained and sectioned, you can’t call it cancer. Did the ER doc actually tell you that you definitely had cancer? Or did he/she say that it is PROBABLY cancer? If it’s the former, that is a serious misstep. If the latter, I think he/she was right for preparing you for a scary diagnosis.
Be well and I hope that your hospital stay is short and ends with you leaving with all organs intact and cancer-free
Still praying, and sending you all my love.
xoxo CGF
I will continue to pray for you and am happy to hear things might not be as bad as you first though.
Doing the happy dance (in a preliminary and cautious way) in Cleveland!
WE WANT MORE GOOD NEWS and will keep praying that it will be forthcoming. I just love praying for people I don’t know. Seriously.
God is good and loves you more than you will ever be able to imagine…
I found you through The Adventures of Scarlet O’Kara. I can’t imagine how scared and worried you must have been. That’s great that the news has taken a more positive turn.
Oh, I am so glad you are getting some answers and things look better.
Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you.
Woo-hoo!
I hope you receive the best news possible soon AND can go home with your boys. LOVE YOU!
I think I just finally breathed. I hope this news is awesome news. Here’s to solid answers and a good fix…and a good fix of what they’ll give you in pill form!
This is one instance where I’ll be so very happy if the doctors were wrong.
Still praying for you!
Hi Lisa,
I am so sorry to hear your news…so sorry. I can not imagine how you are feeling and how your family is feeling. I am thinking of you and praying for you.
I’ll keep praying that the ‘little chance’ goes to a no chance soon.
Hugs, hugs and then some!
Hi Lisa - I am coming to visit from holaisabel. You are in my thoughts and prayers. I will keep checking back! Thinking of you and your family during this time.
Keri
Lisa,
Please know that all of you are in our thoughts and prayers right now. It sounds like your diagnosis and prognosis is improving. The “not knowing” is always scarier than reality.
If we can do anything to help please let us know. Seth is always welcome to come and spend some time with Craig and Morgan. One day in our house and he will never be the same. Chaos rules here. That quiet little man will turn into a running screaming maniac.
Remember you have a lot of support. The entire Jansen clan is praying for you. Cancer or any other disease does not stand a chance. As for Seth growing up w/out his mommy, that will not happen. Heaven is not ready for you and hell is afraid you will take over.
One the lighter side, enjoy the morphine and keep you chin up.
Love, Kathy
I am very happy you are getting some news…which is better than stonewalling, right?
Keep up your great spirit!
Am praying that it resolves quickly and easily, and all of this is behind you soon.
Feel free to call or email if you need to talk….
I have my fingers crossed for you. Know that I’m thinking about you.
Praying for you! I also recommend enjoying the medications available. My recent hospital stay reminded me the value of having a fierce spouse (or close friend) in charge of your care when you are medicated. Patient advocates ROCK. Wish I was sitting by your side to advocate for you — I’m obnoxious but I would get you great care! Be well!
I am here from, well, lots of other amazing blogs all wishing you so much strength and positive vibes, and I am here to do the same. I will keep you in my thoughts.
Brittany
Wow - I can’t even imagine the roller coaster of emotions you and your family have been on the past few days. We’ll all keep the prayers going - for your good health and for emotional peace for all of you.
This is good news… we’re all still cheering for you!
The waiting game stinks, but if the waiting means ruling out some stuff for some not-as-bad stuff…well…we’re waiting along with you and holding you up with prayers and posts and positive thoughts.
This is where the blogosphere really does it’s thing and weaves a net of support for you to relax into as much as possible. I’m glad to have been alerted to this through the Perfect Post award, and I’m here…we’re all here.
Rest. Breathe. Rest.
Many, many prayers and good wishes are coming your way.
Lisa, My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time. Be strong girl, and know that you have a giant cheering section out here and we are all praying for you!!
Love and well wishes to you. Keep the updates coming.
That is amazing news!
(I mean - not the oozing abscess, but that it doesn’t look like cancer.)
That is the most awesome news I have heard in a long time!!!! The fact that it’s not cancer, not that your appendix is oozing.
I can’t even imagine the amount of relief you and your family must feel right now but I’m so happy for you and glad that so many people supported you during your scare and continue to support you now as you heal.

[…] ward and told she had cancer. The spent the next couple days running tests. They discovered a a blockage in her colon, but they didn’t think it was lymphoma. And yesterday they confirmed that she does not have […]
Great news! I hope all the tests come back clean and it turns out to be something as simple and yummy-sounding as an oozing appendix.
I don’t know you but I do know what it is like for doctors to tell you they fear cancer. I am so sorry you have to go through this, and I too am hoping all turns out well. You are very brave to blog this, but know you are not alone.Take Care.
