thank you all. this is so shocking to me. I moved to TN in July after fighting vulvar cancer since 2015. I was under the impression that it was under control altho my dr had put in notes that I needed a pet scan. I packed up my things unpacked moved across the nation with no idea I was sick, till a series of events let me to what started out as emergency surgery for blood clots in my lungs but the surgeon had to change course when he saw a mass engulfing my heart. after a 90 minute bypass while he conferred with other cardio surgeons he did an emergency open heart surgery and removed a good majority of the mass but it's in my heart. he told me had he known what was up he never would've performed that surgery. thank you for the ego of a surgeon for prolonging my life. I have cancer in my heart. rare and especially rarer the type of cancer in my heart. who knew? I didn't even know I was sick. so it's a lot to absorb only to be told that my platelets are too low to get treatment but not low enough for an infusion. go figure!
