prayers needed
- Thread starter d1042
- Start date
Good morning Alice. I do recall that your Abby has a Pituitary Gland Tumor, and I am somewhat familiar with this condition as a friends granddaughter was diagnosed with same a few years ago. Long story short, she was being seen by Drs at a highly regarded UC Hospital clinic, and one recommended they incur the travel expense and take her to the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota. He had interned these and expressed the opinion that they have the best center of excellence in treating Pituitary Gland Tumors in this country. I won’t go into details as every patient is different as are the treatment options, other than to say they are extremely grateful for the advice as their experience was tremendously positive.
Thank you for posting this! Ab goes to the IU Med Center for treatment and they referred her to Mayo for a trial drug program that starts in June. She was supposed to start in February, but PTG related issues delayed her trip. It's good to know that others have had a positive experience with Mayo and PGT.
This month we have a scope to see if she has an ulcer and next month surgery to remove a tumor...which still leaves a mass on her thyroid that is closely being watched and will come out after the Mayo visit. It's just totally crazy that this very small Gland with a very tiny tumor could cause so many health issues and yes, the issues can be few or many. Unfortunately for Ab...she has many and I do mean many. She is strong and has a good support system...we are hopeful that Mayo can help her. Thanks again for the post!

Perse, been thinking about you and hoping you're feeling better. Keep fighting and we'll keep praying! #teamperse
well, thank you. Keep up the prayers. The disease is a tough one, and I am actually in the hospital,all week, as a patient, for the 1st time in my life. The upside to the downside is I met some wonderful talented people (Doctors and Specialists) that will be valuable in mounting a successful battle. I hope I can return and do daily visits on Sat. Been a while since I felt optimistic about the team of professional helping and administering to me! Thanks again for your thoughts.
Will pray and send positive thoughts Abby’s way. I read a Lot about this condition when my friends granddaughter was diagnosed. Remember thinking our son had pretty significant brain damage from his stroke at one day old, and the impact was almost entirely limited to motor function of three limbs. And yet these tiny benign tumors in a pea size glad can cause an incredible array of significant physical and emotional health problems that can be far more disruptive and life altering than our son’s cerebral palsy. Daily prayers for successful surgery or surgeries, and for a Mayo miracle.
Thank you for your prayers! You are so right about these tumors affecting physical and mental health. Among the many medical appointments she keeps is therapy for her mental well-being. So many health issues to cope with can be overwhelming and depressing for anyone of any age.
If the treatment at Mayo works...it could shrink the tumor to almost nothing. We are hopeful!
Being happy with your team of health providers is essential to your treatment and mental well-being. Hang in there!
”Happy“ and “Confident”
Maintaining a positive attitude, even in the darkest of times, is beneficial for the patient ….. and for the patient’s family !
Hang in there !
Hey Alice, I now it’s little late but did you survive the tornadoes last Friday ok? I know you were in the path of some nasty weather.
Vincennes was lucky, but Sullivan not so much. As I understand it the south end of Sullivan got flattened. Lots of folks volunteering and donating goods to our friends up the road.
glad you/yours are fine. That was not the case for many, so lets count our blessing and share them with those families affected..
yes. I have daughters, twins, they have been very supportive; as has been my wife. Thank you for asking. Kind of you.
D1042…curious as to what kind of considerations go into this Board decision? Type of cancer…stage of cancer…your overall health…age, etc….? Hoping and praying this is made available to you. When do you expect to hear?
Well, my guess is the prognosis would be the factor. But yes all the things you mentioned probably factor into it Hopeful that my Dr. has some influence. I hope.
Haven’t seen any posts from you lately, but not much new going on either. Hope and pray treatment is giving positive indicators! Did the Board approve you for the advanced treatment? Prayers continuing.
yea, was back in hospital; Then home 3 days but setbacks sent me back, three days again back in, but once again i am home. I have an important meeting on the 26th; meeting with top Dr.s about new procedure, and transplant procedures. Hopefull.

Firstly I hope that as many as can read this do read this.
I am so happy to tell the board members that you, Telx1, exemplify everything that can be good sportsmanship among fans. I do not know you personally, though that is my regret, however you demonstrate a character and manner that we might all take as an example to emulate. It as been my privilege to have, in these recent months shared comments, ideas and hopes; I am grateful, Sir, for that opportunity.

d1042,
I am humbled and honored by your gracious comments here. The smart ass in me thought your pain meds have maybe kicked up a notch, but overall I sincerely appreciates your sentiments as I know from where they come. All of us on this specific thread have had heartfelt meaningful exchanges with you. We likewise are grateful for this opportunity, but we will be collectively pissed if we don’t have several more years to exchange ideas and comments, and tease the witty and almighty Perse! Looking forward to this. Fight on!
Prayers for America

of course I remember some contentions debates/arguments, some with many in this thread (one missing which I will come back to). Often times I would contend to try to get more out of a poster, who I generally respected; unfortunately I had some stalkers who took the conversations to depths i honestly did not want to sink to. But mostly I tried to respect and to get more knowledge from the poster in discussion. Nowadays, having grown long in the tooth, I avoid the contentious heated arguments. I do admit to also having learned humility, manners and football from the more learned on the board. Thank you guys!

re that one poster I have failed any attempt to mend the relationship: hvillebill (?, actual ID spelling). We started falling apart during the Weis fall. I genuinely like and respect this old friend, but most attempts to extend an olive branch have failed. I will continue to wait for opportunities to try again. hvillebill, My sincere apologies for any inappropriate exchanges, I wish you all the best and again extend a sincere heartfelt apology for my part in our contentious relationship. I will put more emphasis on trying to mend things with him. Be well and God Bless you HBill.

The Consultation with the Dr. specializing in my cancer and who I will be working with, as well as meeting her team, went amazingly well, leaving me encouraged, hopeful and blessed.
Thanks to all for the prayers, encouragement and good thoughts.
