diagnosed with Carcinoid Cancer. I call my quest for a diagnosis “The Trials
and Tribulations of Sunny Susan”. In 1987 I was diagnosed as
anemic, for the first and last time, no cause was ever found, but I was told it
was “stomach bleeding”. After years of searching for cause of
abdominal and stomach pain, during surgery for an obstruction
May 10, 1995,
I finally had a diagnosis -
Carcinoid Cancer,
a slow growing neuro-endocrine cancer.
June
18, 1999 I had a surgical biopsy
- lumpectomy of my right breast, the
pathology report said I had malignant Infiltrating Ductal Carcinoma
(IDC) breast cancer.
December 6,
2004 I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes, so now have an additional
challenge
regarding
learning about a disease and managing it. I know I shall be able to handle this
very well --- after I learn how.

Since
1996 --- when I first located others with
Carcinoid --- I have answered every email sent to me, although some replies were
delayed longer than I liked. I am NO longer able to reply to all e-mails due to
the volume and other things going on in my life (all good). I do love hearing
from others, but an unable to reply to all individually. I shall not forget my
many Carcinoid friends and of course shall reply to you … as time permits.

Since my husband "retired"
I am away from my computer for days, and sometimes, weeks at a time. Yes, there
is wireless internet and we have tried that a number of places. But, if I deal
with email when we are away from home then it is not a "restful vacation" for
me.
