Hit some heart strings opening this thread, as a teenager I went thru this same story with my mother.
To make a long story short a lot of things have changed in my life since then but, I can tell you I believe beyond a shadow of a doubt that people that walk thru storms are called to stand in the gap of those going thru the same storms.. I declare healing, comfort & peace in Jesus name over you and your family!
We will be praying for you & be expectant of a good report!

thank you!! so very much!!
From one Tammy to another I am thinking of you and hoping and praying that all will be well! Hey us Tammy's are tough so whatever it is its not as tough as we are! Hugs.
means bunches!Just know that you have friends and support here and if you ever need to talk, we'll always be here.
Sending good luck and positive thoughts your way.
thank youI am so sorry, you are in my thoughts.
Wow I don't know what to say, I am VERY lucky and have never been seriously ill. You sound like one tough and strong Tammy and I am sending you every positive vibe I can! Your brother and kids have you and just because of that they will be fine because I am sure you wont let them be anything but. Keep strong girl, I am rooting for you!!yes, we are very strong!!!! I was first diagnosed 1yr and exactly 1wk after my mom passed from Pancreatic cancer. I had a 3 1/2 month old and a 6 yr old. I was walking in the mall with him when I got the call. my ent surgeon said she normally did not give results over the phone,but we needed to get on this posthaste. it was very aggressive and fast moving, all of my dr's think it was due to the pregnancy. it is a very rare cancer with little to no statistics-acinic cell carcinoma of the parotid gland(salivary gland cancer).
I had 35 sessions of radiation and 54 sessions of chemo. due to my mom being the 1st person on her side of the family to have any type of cancer,she was also a 17 yr breast cancer survivor, I was tested for the HER2 receptor and tested positive.so, I had to do 13 months of Herceptin.
the day I was hospitalized for 5wks(had not eaten anything but ice chips for 42 days)I drove myself along with my kids to the cancer center!my boyfriend was at work(ups driver) and I felt horrible, bloody vomit and diarrhea.my bp was 58/34,heart rate was 35! the poor nurses almost shit!!!they wanted to call emer. transport to take me across the street to the hospital,but I had my kids and didn't want to freak out my dd. so we walked across the street and up to the cancer floor. my kids sat with me until someone could come and get them,about 3 hrs.
so, yes we Tammy's are some tough girls!!!
I know no matter what the outcome I can beat it, I just worry about my kids and my brother!
hahaha, it DOES!!!and I am not a very patient person in the least! thanksMy gosh, the waiting must suck! Try and stay positive and busy, you are in my thoughts Tammy.
results came back, it is NOT cancer!!!! thank you all for your positive thoughts, prayers and awesome support!!!! much love
