In reply to: Ravenbeauty 's message, "Red Hot Spoilers, Rumors, News & More! Updated 1/27/12!" on 18:25:55 01/27/12 Fri

Hey Gang,



I just wanted to thank you for all the really beautiful Valentine wishes. You always know how to brighten my day. I know I haven't been around much over the past 4 days or so, but I've been a bit preoccupied here lately. I have an appointment with the plastic surgeon on Monday because there is a suspicious area growing underneath where the incision has been healing. As sickening as it is to say aloud, it resembles the Epitheloid Angiosarcoma they first found. Strange looking lines in bright red as before.

At first, it was just a dot so I ignored it. Now it's a very pronounced red line, and in the same area. Praying it is something else entirely. Don't know what to think at the moment. If it only took 4 months to grow back, I'm in trouble. I noticed it some days back, but now it's more very pronounced and raised. Really trying not to completely freak out here until I get some answers. I am expecting him to remove it on Monday and send it in. I haven't fully healed yet from the Mastectomy so I am a little angry and losing my sense of humor here. I just want off this ride. I promised to always keep you in the loop. Forgive me if I am not out here as much as I usually am (I'm not purposely ignoring your many lovely posts). My mind is just all over the place at the moment (soap scoops seem almost silly right now). I will keep you posted when I know something (hoping they can get me in sooner than Monday, but that's all they had). In any event, I hope everyone has a great week. I love you guys (genuinely). ♥

Please note the soap updates that I have been leaving out steadily since my last column almost two weeks ago (last update was on 2/7/12). There have been many, but I place them under the current thread.

I will keep you guys posted...

Please contact MDAnderson Cancer Center in Houston TX. According to their web site they treat 100 or more cases of your type of breast cancer every year. My son was diagnosed with rectal cancer at the age of 31, extremely rare.He was treated at MDACC, after 5 years he is cancer free. DO NOT WAIT. THEY SAVE LIVES!

"(soap scoops seem almost silly right now)"

Considering what you're up against&in the grand scheme of things they are 'silly' Raven. Your main focus has to be your health. I believe I'm safe in thinking I speak for all of us out here who love you, we care more about your continued good health than soap scoops right now.
As usual Raven,all my hopes&prayers!
:)

Hi Raven,

Maybe its just irritated under the incision because when its healing it usually becomes itchy and that is why it is red and swollen either from rubbing or scratching. Then they may just give you an antibiotic. Wish you the best and will be thinking of you on Monday.

Raven, I'm sending you prayers, hugs and healing thoughts. Take a deep breath and just take one moment at a time, one day at a time. I hope they are able to get you into the doctor sooner than Monday and that this is something totally different and harmless. Life has thrown many things at you and you've fought them all. Stay strong and remember there are a lot of us out here who care about you and are praying with you. We're never more than a few keystrokes away. BIG HUGS and LOTS of PRAYERS.

As much as we readers love your insight and your information your recovery is much more important. if you need to take a break from your fans, then please do it. Your health is way more important than anything. I am sure that you are in the prayers of all of us that pray. No matter to whom we pray. We want you to get well so please, focus on you.

While I admit that I love hearing scoops and gossip concerning the soap operas, they absolutely are silly in the grand scheme of things. You are so incredibly brave in the way you are battling for your health. Not only are you fighting the disease, you are doing so in a very public manner. There are few women that could (or would) do so, and for that- I applaud you.
That said, I am sending prayers for strength and health as well as good thoughts to you today, and especially on Monday. I certainly hope your fears are unfounded. God bless you, Raven, as you continue on this road. We are all walking beside you.

Ravenbeauty, I've read your column for some time now (you really have the hookup when it comes to inside scoops!), but this is my first time writing to you. I just wanted to reach out and tell you that there are soooooo many silent readers out there who, like me, enjoy reading your column! And we are wishing you the best of health and are keeping you in our prayers. As you go through this difficult time, just think of yourself being surrounded by the love of all of your readers. May the beauty of your spirit chase away your physical ailment...

Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers that all goes well and the doctors find that it is not cancer after all. (((Hugs)))

Praying, praying for good news on Monday. I am also praying that God will give you peace while you are waiting for your appointment.

The fact that you would take ANY time from your day to update us amazes me and is a blessing. We don't want for anything besides your healing...scoops be damned. I know everything is high alert because of the seeming death of an entire genre, but REAL life (as opposed to "reel" life) ALWAYZ takes priority and you, my dear are about as real as they come. Don't ever apologize for living yours (away from the pulse). Great News! I hear my Lord is STILL a healer, so while you work on your sense of humor, He'll be working on everything else. ;-)
You take care and thanx for letting us know that now is not the time to become complacent in our prayers for your healing.

YOU are more important than any updates. concentrate on what you need to do for yourself and the rest will fall into place. I am praying for you!

I am a new reader and I just want to say I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers through your difficult time. Keep the Faith!
