Question about Beast Cancer and PSC

[Guest guest]

HI everyone,

I just found out that a lumpectomy I had last week showed stage

1 cancer. My doctor said she got it all out but I am scheduled for

another surgery next week to remove some of the surrounding tissue and

lymph nodes to see if it has spread. Needless to say, I am beside

myself. The initial report from my doctor was that everything looked

good. She was shocked. MY nurse coordinator at the Transplant center

told me I am now a status 7 or " on hold " until things can be worked

out. My MELD score is only a 7 but I feel as though I am progressing

because the fatigue is worsening, I am chilled almost all of the time

and run low grade temps often. I am scheduled for an ERCP tomorrow to

remove a stent I have in. They will decide then if a new one will be

put in. I am just scared to death that I will end up with a

cholangitis attack and not be able to get my breast surgery next

Thursday. THis has happened in the past after ERCP's. Any past

experiences or words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated. I don't

know how much more I can handle. Does anyone know how long after a

diagnosis of cancer I can be reactivated on the list? Thanks so much.
