A Hopeful Update On My Possibly Having Cancer
Posted: Sat May 26, 2012 7:09 pm
Hi Everyone,
I apologize for not having posted here in ages, but the more I thought about it, the more I thought - damn it, I've met some really fantastic folks on this board too I'd love to hear from too if you're on Facebook, so please see the note below I just posted on the Voyager Angel Message Board (VAMB is a forum for Star Trek Voyager fans). Kinda weird how a possible cancer threat was what brought me to this board initially last year and is now bringing me back here again, eh? Anyway, below is my post on VAMB, but the same applies equally to the sweet souls I know on Triaxiansilk's forum too.

Hi All,
After hearing from some of my fellow Vambies, (publically and privately, like I seen 94 seen my post about wanting to contact Gilly right away), I thought I should let anyone following this know I got some pretty hopeful news from both my doctor and an oncologist recently, so I'm pasting this note in from my "Wall" and "Notes" pages on Facebook:
Okay, for an update on my possibly having cancer - after discussing the matter at length with different people (including both my doctor and an oncologist too) I've decided to get the 2nd cat scan done in July rather than wait until October as I had originally planned to do. Also found out (from both of those doctors) that my thinking I probably didn't stand a snowball's chance in hell of not having cancer was being overly pessimistic and erroneous there. I actually found out a more realistic view of it is that there's probably a 2 out of 3 chance that this is NOT cancer and both doctors seemed to think I have every right to be hopeful there. Whew - that was sure a relief to hear! Well, there's still a 33.33% chance it's cancer - and it sucks big time to know I'll still have to be going in for additional cat scans regularly (as a follow-up) for the next two years regardless if it's cancer or not just so my doctor can check on what's going on in my lungs occasionally - but I still think that is wonderful news to get anyway - yeeaaahhh!!!
BTW, if anyone reading this is on Facebook and would like to "friend me" there, my name is Marchale Hyndman, my email address is shadyladyfakes@comcast.net - I'm accepting all friendship requests there (and am on there a lot, so there should be plenty of regular updates, I hope); and you might want to check out my "Worth Keeping" photo album there (200 cute wall photos that will make you laugh, I hope), my fakes (I've got some of Chakotay, ladies! as well as the hunks on Star Trek Enterprise (as both Trip and Archer are very drool-worthy too), my Trip & T'Pol music video, the 13 songs I've collected so far (to help me keep a positive attitude about things if I will be dying in the near future), some apartment photos and assorted other stuff and junk there. (I just can't do app and game requests there, sorry). But I'd love to have all the Facebook friends I can get if anyone wants to friend me there.
Thanks for listening, Marc
