    see your tumor

    I'm not sure about posting this
    please don't look at it if you are effected by blood or any organ picture
    in your body either healthy or diseased

    please comment if this is not a good idea to post this
    I can remove it

    I think we should be very thankful to all the medical people for taking care of us
    even in these extreme cases

                        Don:

                        That was an amazing picture! It must have been a great relief to get that out. Were there any necrotic areas inside? It looks like it had a fairly well established blood supply.

                        Tho' much is taken, much abides; and though we are not now that strength which in old days moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are; one equal temper of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate, but strong in will; to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

                          When I was first diagnosed the tumor was only 1/3 that size and kept growing as they tried to shrink it with chemo- this was over the course of almost 7 months between the initial diagnosis and the RPLND......

                              Looking at these pictures is a huge reminder of how lucky I am to be here today... Funny thing is that both of my sister in laws are pregnant and obviously uncomfortable.. When we were all together last week they kept saying "you guys don't know what it's like to carry all this weight in your stomach" ..I can truly say that YES I DO..Mine just didn't move and kick and had to be delivered VIA a very large c-section!!!!!
