Have faith and trust in God for He knows what is best for you. Take care always. that is what i am praying for too. thank you so much te ritz. i hope na wala kayong maencounter na ganito ng baby mo sa medical na ganitong delay kasi talaga namang nakakadepress. the best of luck and God bless you always!	o0pink0o	Female	Philippines	2008-08-06 19:32:00
Philippines	a bump in our journey	QUOTE (daisychain @ Aug 7 2008, 12:53 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> hi pink, i hope and pray that everything will turn out OK and you won't have to postpone your interview. i feel for you. when i was referred to psychiatrist evaluation, i was deathly scared that it might serve as a deterrent to my visa issuance. hovering in uncertainty is a torment. but everything turned out ok. worrying about is normal, of course, but comfort yourself in the thought that this will definitely NOT affect your visa issuance. =) i honestly believe that everything will turn out ok for you. only those grave communicable diseases are at risk of visa denial. this biopsy is just a small obstacle that you will overcome with flying colors. will be praying for you! keep up the fight! thanks for the prayer i feel a bit better now after posting this hehe! i really hope that the result will be negative.

Philippines	a bump in our journey	QUOTE (marizzacdo @ Aug 7 2008, 12:09 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hi pink, dont worry so much, everything will be alright. Always remember, that the only cause of denial as much as sickness or medical is concern are those who has contagious/communicable diseases. Have faith and pray. Everything will be fine. You worried about nothing. See, the dermatologist even told you, that it will never cause any visa denial. Just pray that everything will be fine. I pray that all will be fine too. Salute to your hubby for his undying support and patience. Eveything will work out just fine. You will be together for good before you knew it. Good luck to your interview, i know kayang kaya mo yan, ikaw pa!!!!!!!! I'm glad to see you, ivory, marie and gabrielle8 when i was there. God bless and Good luck.

Philippines	a bump in our journey	On the second day of my medical, the guard asked me to go to the record section. i knew it from there that there is something wrong. I got scared. I thought I'll go under psychiatric test since i have a very little scar on my left wrist, but i was wrong, It is worse than that. The guy from SLEC called my name and referred me to a dermatologist in St. Lukes' Medical Hospital and i knew it from then that it has something to do about my small birthmark. Then so i met the dermatologist in St. Luke's, she is 70 yrs old but looks like late 50ish and pretty. I showed her my birthmark and based on her ocular inspection, it seems that it is just an ordinary birthmark. She gave me options: OPTION 1: NO BIOPSY. She will state in the clinical impression that i have asymptomatic (showing no evidence of disease) nevus (birthmark) based on her ocular inspection. Payment costs Php850 (consultation fee). *If the doctor (P.E.) in SLEC is contented with the clinical result, then i can have my medical result cleared on Aug. 18th. But then she said that there can be a tendency that the CO might want to ask for the final diagnosis of it on my interview date (Aug. 27th) if so, then i need to go under biopsy and it will take a couple or three weeks for me to clear my medical result. *If the doctor (P.E.) in SLEC is NOT contented with the clinical result and wants to have final diagnosis, then i need to undergo biopsy and will cause me to move my interview. *If the doctor (P.E) in SLEC and the CO didn't ask for the final diagnosis then that's good. But then the dermatologist told me that she really thinks that the doctor will REALLY gonna ask for the final diagnosis because SLEC is very strict. OPTION 2: WITH BIOPSY. Payment costs Php850 (consultation) + Php2000 (BIOPSY). *In this case, i have something to present to the doctor (in SLEC) or to the CO whether they ask for the final diagnosis or not and it won't cause my interview date to be moved since i'll get the result on the 20th. I chose option 2. BTW, the dermatologist told me that it won't cause visa denial (i really hope so) whether the result of the biopsy is cancerous or not since it is not a communicable disease . She also told me if it is cancerous (knock on wood) then SLEC will give me a choice whether to have it remove here in the Philippines or in the US. O man! i never thought that this birthmark will be a bump in our journey lol! I mean it never bleed nor encountered any itchiness since i was a kid. And the size of it didn't even changed plus its not even located in a sensitive part. I won't deny that this is a saddening thing but my hopes are still up and my husband and I won't stop pursuing to be together for good. I feel so blessed because i have a husband who is very patient, loving and supportive in spite of this trial and that is why i am loving him more and more everyday. I so love every bit of him. NOTE: I shared this medical experience of mine thinking it might be a help as a reference to other VJers or to future ones.	o0pink0o	Female	Philippines	2008-08-06 10:32:00

Philippines	i was rape	QUOTE (reeses16 @ Aug 14 2008, 01:10 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I think you MUST: (1) Tell your fiancé: He loves you. He would want to know if someone was hurting you. You don't have re-account every moment of the rape, just tell him what happened at that you were scared to tell him. (2)Tell the police: If you tell your fiancé first, you can ask him to help you report it to the police. You may be able to get a restraining order as well. If you haven't done the laundry yet, you could put the clothes& underwear that you were wearing that day in a plastic bag and submit it as evidence. (3) Talk to a doctor: Ask your fiancé to take you to the doctor/emergency room. Its possible that your rapist may have given you an STD. Also, you might want to consult about using plan B or some other method to prevent a pregnancy. I agree with reeses16 those are the things that you can do if you want to seek justice. if your fiance truly loves you then he will understand everything and will totally be on your side than his rapist friend.
