I don't know what to say 06/04/20 - "not at the beginning stage"

She needs to get Medial Assistance fast. This is not going to be cheap. Maybe this will wake her up but sadly I don't think it will. She is too mentally ill to get better at this point.

The hospital's social services will fast-track her onto Medicaid. Cancer is pretty undeniable, and it's in their best interest to ensure payment/coverage for Amber. If I was her, I'd be more concerned about the surgery... even an appendectomy would be risky at her weight. Amber needs to ditch an entire organ.

I mean, this is sad. She's not an evil horrowcow like Susie Schofield, or even a nasty Colt-level grifter.

You weren't the only one. I figured she would defy everyone and live to 90 or something, with orange chicken in her gaping maw (the OTHER gaping maw, perverts).

Yeah, cancer sucks, but it's as difficult for me to feel sympathy for her as it is to feel sympathy fo someone who guzzles a liter of vodka a day and smokes three packs a day having lung and liver cancers. Empathy, sure. Sympathy, not really.
Totally agree, like the smokers who live to hundred with a mild caught handling cancer doesn't touch them, well life's not fair. I hope she won't die, but I don't really care. Tbf I am more worried about Becky and how she's gonna cope.

The one on one care will drain her very bad. I did taking care of my mom and dad.
 
Goddamn it, Amber...

Even if it was caught very early - and it probably wasn't given the amount of gore she expelled the other day - her outrageous obesity is going to limit what can be done. From the dangers of surgery to remove cancerous organs from super morbidly obese patients, to increased levels of chemo based on weight, people her size generally die from even very treatable, survivable cancers.

Puts all the "urinary tract" issues into a new perspective. I wonder if she's so fat and utterly divorced from her body that she was experiencing all sorts of warning signs but couldn't tell her urethra from her vagina because... well, because she never really cleaned down there or had sex. That time she had to stand in the shower, bleeding for an hour. All the painful UTIs that did not respond to antibiotics. That 70 pound weight loss that seemingly came from nowhere. And all the stomach and body pains a fit woman experiences with uterine cancer are likely indistinguishable from what you feel like when you have a triple digit BMI and gorge constantly.

She's had it for a while, showing signs going back at least two years. I doubt very strongly she's going to be able to beat this and recover.
 
I can't help but wonder what stage it was discovered in.

My guess is it's pretty far along. If she's been complaining of heavy and irregular periods for a long period of time.
I work in the OR and I've done a rotation in Gyne Onc. If she's far along, they will have to remove uterus and ovaries, possibly cervix. Worst case it's spread to bowels and they have to resect bowel and remove abdominal linings. They usually start with a hysterectomy and send nodes for quick section to check for spread of the cells.
