Well, thank you Queenie for your wise words. I do need to never forget that about knowledge and the unkown.

Went to doc's twice this week. lost more weight, yad yada.....

Oncologist doesn't think it is a cancer so that is positive.

refered to endocrinologist....they will call with my appoint.

mean time. have appoint with another doc. wnat s to start ordering tests before I get to endocrinologist.

Also looking back at history. As an aritst and for texas - I had chronic, long exposure of one, a certain pesticide my dad used to kill the texas fire ants. and the others. are from being an artist and the solvents and such especially as a printmaker. I no longer use any of the materials I used to use. but I did use them for many years.

These things I did a look up on the CDC and off course they cause cancer, and quite often mentioned being an endocrine distruptor. etc.

My cdrvical cancer was anomoly I was told. a woman of my age (fairly yong) usually does not have an immediate aggressive fast growing cancer like I had. It was invasive form the get go.

They said, most invasive cerical cancers are in 50 age women or so because they start as non invasive ti=ype but are untreated for so long that it turns into invasive.

Well. also, usually it is HPV related.

With me, they said neither are true, no hpv. and it was less then a year to develop to where it did.

Not many people, doctors, us included think of how things can be connected. They looked for a primary elsewhere but did not find it. which they said was odd for this type too.

Funny also how one doctor can look at something and say I think it is fine. and another says its not.

That is happening. ie)plateletes...one doc says.l.. oh, I don't think there is a problem and another says, yes, they are low. etc etc.

So, I for now and just doing what I can do each day. very exhausted. but at least there is movement and things are being looking into.

thank you for the support guys
