Okay, it's not quite an absolute, because I still don't have the biopsy results. But the orthopedic surgeon who did the biopsy Friday said there is "zero chance" that the mass on my lower spine is benign; they just need to figure out exactly what it is.

Unfortunately that surgeon, whom I really liked so far, can't fit me into his schedule in a reasonable timeframe and said I should find someone else. So now I'm actually looking for spine specialist number three.

Aside from all the obvious fears regarding surgery and a life-threatening illness... A few of you know that I was raped / robbed / assaulted w/ a deadly weapon back in May. My PTSD was healing nicely, until this came up. Now it's been stirred up again big time.

I would really appreciate prayers from those of you who pray and good vibes or whatever from those of you who don't.
 
Oh no! There are really no words coming to me that I think would help, so the best I can do is send you those good vibes.
 
Sweet mercy! Yeah, Tora, you have all my warmest thoughts, best wishes and good vibes heading your way!
 
You're a very strong and kind woman and I'm so sorry for everything you're going through. You'll be in my prayers tonight.

Let's hope that whatever it turns out to be, and whoever ends up helping you, they can find a way to treat it successfully. You have my best and warmest wishes and I hope you pull through this. :)
 
Ziyal, so sorry to hear that. I really hope you get well soon. I'll say a prayer for you. Cardies are people too. ;)

I was molested by my real dad, if you EVER need to talk about things, I have a sympathetic ear and shoulders to cry on.

Glad to meet you and look forward to more talks!
 
I'm so sorry to hear about this; hopefully they'll be able to deal with it swiftly now they've found it. Good luck, and best wishes. :) You have our love.
