Dr. Oz


I love watching Dr. Oz, talk about one smart doctor. He knows about everything. In my case, he also knows about brain tumors. I was able to meet with him in person, and he reviewed all of my medical findings. He told me that my doctors here at Vanderbilt where missing a large piece of the puzzle, and what they thought wasn't cancerous tissue was in deed very cancerous. I was also to have a bone marrow transplant as soon as possible. Dr. Oz was so kind as to escort me out of the room where my husband stayed waiting for my return. I talked with a nurse for a few minutes and asked her how this could have turned cancerous when I was almost guaranteed that it would stay benign. I told her about how the tumor was aggressive, and could lead to things like blindness if it went untreated but I was never told about the cancer. As I went back to my room, Kevin was just in tears and he told me that he had known about the cancer all along. He just didn't want to make me worried.

So glad that this was only a DREAM, talk about giving some one a heart attack. Kevin always tells me that everything isn't a conspiracy theory. Maybe that's just my problem, I think everyone is out to get me including him.

I'm still praying for good results come this spring/summer with the radiation results. Keep your fingers crossed that I don't end up going to see Dr. Oz.

Someone once told me that sometimes there is something to our dreams, they allow our brains to "vocalize" what we really want to ask/say/do but are afraid. If you are concerned about the possibilities, for the peace of mind if your insurance will allow it and it were me I'd go get my questions answered. BUT I am a product of not listening to my gut instincts. There have been several times that I have hesitated and not listened to my "gut" or the Spirit talking to me and should have.

Oh my gosh, I was ready this and thinking, that is so cool that she got to meet Dr. Oz, but then my heart was breaking. I hate dreams like that. I have had a few about my kids and they keep me up all night. I am praying for you. I hope those test come back soon.

You had me there till I read the line about your husband. I then thought hmm, something does not sound right! We are praying for you and you are amazing.

I am so glad this was just a DREAM! I really thought you were serious. I am all for positive thinking and I think the best thing is to be positive. My SIL finally got a clean scan, at least for the next 6 months, so I know good things can happen even with cancer. I pray that everything goes really well when they review how the radiation went. HUGS! It has got to be so scary!

WOW! I was totally excited for you to have met Dr. Oz, but got the chills when I read the cancerous part. I'm thinking of you!
