Confused and Overwhelmed-Diagnosed Anal Sac Carcinoma (Woody has passed)

Prayers and positive thoughts from me too and all of us.

Oh no, that is not the news we were wanting. Is it operable? Sometimes these large liver tumours, like Flynn's are able to be removed and sometimes they are the better tumours to have in the liver rather than little ones right through it. When Flynn had his massive liver tumour in 2011 and collapsed (they still think it may have been the pheo in its early stages) but the other theory was because of its size it was pressing on the blood vessels and that is what caused his collapse. He also had a bit of it on his omentum involved - maybe similar to what they think is on his gut? You have seen how Flynn has got through his surgery so I hope they are consulting a surgeon too.

Pleased to hear the good cardiology and neuro reports Tracy. Also glad they have given him pain relief. Waiting on tenterhooks for Ian's update. I really am hoping something can be done for Woody and am here right alongside you until we hear more. xxxxx

Me too! My thoughts and prayers are with you also. ((((HUGS))))

Thanks everyone no call from Ian yet. Trish I think this is why Laura the IMS kept saying Ian wants to talk to you when I asked if surgery was an option she just repeated that Ian would call me , I think because he is Ian's patient that he will be better to answer all my questions. I honestly hardly heard anything after she said he was in pain I am trying to get myself together enough to ask Ian everything, hope I don't breakdown like I did when Laura rung earlier. Surgery finishes at 7 so Ian should ring after his clinic I would think

Trish sorry but do you know of anything else I need to ask Ian as my mind is blank

Your OK Tracy, deep breaths :) I so know how you feel as I was facing this just last month. I am not giving up until the fat lady sings... hold on until that phone call. Have you got someone with you? Call your sister and niece sweets

I would be asking about the actual tumour, is it operable, have you talked to surgeon. What part of the gut is involved, could the tumour be coming from that or could it be a bit of spread from the liver. Does it relate to what they found in the lymph node? Have they rechecked the initial scans to see whether there was any sign of it then

Trish - I prefer to be on my own in times like this. I know some answers to the questions you stated. They (Laura) reckons that the original diseased lymph node which was removed and indicated Anal Sac Carcinoma, was infact in his gut the whole time but didn,t show up on orginal or second US she has checked both. She also thinks it has then spread to the liver so its went from Left Iilac Lymph Node - Gut - Liver but it should have went LILN-Anal Sac but we all know by now Woody doesn,t like rules so he doesn,t follow them lol I,ll see what Ian says when he rings, I keep shouting at the phone ring, ring but alas its not. I feel sick :eek:

I'm sending prayers and love to you and Woody.

I can imagine how sick you are feeling. We are right here along with you feeling the same way. I really hope Ian gives you all your answers and Woody, God Bless Him, for being just the sweet boy he is.
