Guest guest Posted April 6, 2001 Report Share Posted April 6, 2001 Our friend, Gloria, was supposed to have her surgery the day after mine had a bad thing happen to her. She went to her appt last Tuesday and Dr Ren saw a lump in her throat. It was very evident. Gloria had been concerned several times with her own doctor about it and her doctor just blew her off saying it was nothing. Well, it is something. Dr Ren sent her for a CT Scan and then had a biopsy done and it has revealed Thyroid cancer and it has spread to her lymph nodes and to her chest cavity. She is 37 years old. Has young children. I am just so upset about it. She goes to the specialist in Ann Arbor that Dr Ren set her up with on the 17th. You know, Gloria's insurance would only pay for the hospital stay and not the surgeons fee or the Dr Ren's consult. Well, Dr Ren cut her consult fee down and told her she had to only pay her $1000 in surgeons fees. So, Gloria was able to keep her appt with her for the surgery. Dr Ren saved her life. I pray that they can do extensive chemo and radiation and beat this cancer. Gloria and Dave are very good Christians and very involved with their church but they could use prayers from all over. She is too upset to post to the group herself but thanks everyone for their wonderful thoughts and wishes. She just thinks that the surgery was never meant to be but just a tool in finding the cancer.
