I just got some devastated news from my doctor . Been having health issues for a while did a lot of tests and they think it’s bone marrow cancer. Will be getting the bone marrow biopsy done on tomorrow.

One of the most frustrating things is when things happen to me that are beyond my control. I had to create a few different methods to combat negative thoughts, but none of them work all the time. Sometimes none of them work at all and I have to lean on a good old distraction. I hope that everything works out to your benefit. We all deserve happiness and joy. I hope you're able to find that even if only for a moment before and after your biopsy and while you wait for the results.

I was diagnosed with bone cancer 20 months ago. It was in my sternum.( Osteosarcoma) it was a 1 in 250,000 or 500,000 chance of occurrence. It was a rough year in treatment and surgery. But I have been in remission 20 months. They start counting remission from date of diagnosis. I have a scan every 4 months . I have one next month. You can read my profile for more info. The day before I was diagnosed, I was doing my daily 100 push ups, before my daily 1 mile swim, and a bone cracked. I had never felt better, so it was a total blindside. I didn’t smoke or take drugs except my blood pressure medicine, and anxiety medicine. I didn’t drink, I was really scared. My dr tells me I better get used to living with my new chest surgery, until I’m 80. Because he thinks we are in the clear. I don’t know why bad things happen to good people? I met a 40 year old mother of 2 on here . At 26 she fought and beat Hodgkin or non Hodgkin, I can’t remember. I am here for you. And I can probably bring her on board. We p m each other for support. She is much braver than me. She got married and had 2 kids after her battle. We both have health anxiety, is how we met .

What I’m trying to say is that they have medicine and treatment for this . And there is hope. And I am here for you. And I need you to be strong. Because if I hadn’t been strong, I would not be in remission. Do you have family to be around?

Stay off the internet and dr Google. That’s when I was at my worst mentally. The dr told me, but I would not listen. Try to live your normal life. If you exercise keep doing it. If you like coffee keep drinking it . What I’m getting at is my wife made me do all these radical diet changes. Like drinking special water, and tea vs coffee, and only fruits and vegetables. She read it helped. It just made me mentally worse. It was a constant reminder, and made me feel bad . There are books out there about diet to help beat it. Written by someone who beat it. But who also went through the chemo and surgery. To me if she thought the diet was crucial ok for her. But my dr didn’t tell me to do it. There was no evidence to back it up. So eating like a rabbit for the rest of my life was not in my cards . Plus drinking only special water was expensive and inconvenient, and made me feel fragile vs strong. My type only makes up 1 percent of all the types. So they don’t know what causes it. And it’s not diet or regular water. Only 80-90 people between the ages of 60-70 get it in the country each year is how rare. I was trying to think what did I do to cause it . That’s a bad thing to do. When the experts don’t even know. Obey your dr and carry on. I am here for you. And maybe the woman I mentioned above if you want.

Go to immermans angels to get a remission angel. It’s very helpful too. They find someone who has what you have, and beat it, 5-15 years. God bless you

Brilliant advice. We can become too careful and change our whole way of life but it doesn't really help or prevent an illness and like you said it's a constant reminder that something is wrong. I'm so sorry to hear about what you've gone through and I'm so glad your in remission and I hope it stays that way 💕

I am very sorry that you are facing this. I was diagnosed with leukemia (CLL) a few years ago and know how scary it can be. It's great that your doctor is getting the biopsy done so quickly. Treatments are getting better all the time and there are great resources for people battling cancer, including the boards here. I wish you and your family the best outcome possible.
