Paulding, I am so sorry to hear this   Whatever the best possible outcome is, that is what I'm hoping and praying for on your behalf.  To all the partygoers from last night, I had sooo much fun with that   Thanks to the organizers.  Above all, I'm glad I'm not the one on the picnic table!!

Praying that they are benign, that the cause is easily found and quickly resolved.

Ruled out cyst. My GP is the best. Took my after hour call and talked to me for a good half hour. Kids took it really well. Right now we are praying that it is something else. Back on anxiety drugs that was pretty hard to get off of. This just sucks, but knowing that you all are thinking and praying for me helps more than you will ever know. Gonna go sleep this off. Thanks again my precious friends.

Holy Herculanuem!  P-Mom, that is some devastating news!  Hope you can get in to see the Onc. right away and it turns out to be something benign (like cirrhosis, from your binge last night---just kidding to make you laugh.)  I don't go (HUGGING) up and down the threads, but I'm sending a big one out to you and your family so you won't be too scared.  You are just barely a year out from your Dx.  You sacrificed HAIR to the chemo gods.  That's gotta count for something.  We will all be "waiting to exhale" right along with you, so please tell us what the Onc has to say.

What a difference a day makes!  Yesterday, all the light-hearted merry-making.  Today, the reminder that any one of us could be harboring the beastly little cells within. Yes, it's scary.

Paulding...I have no words to express my feelings.

I do understand your anxiety believe me I do. We all do. but sometimes scans play tricks and it turns out to be nothing.

Yes Its nothing until you have been told otherwise.

You have been there for me from day one. I would do anything to ease your mind. Just ask.

Im up late if you need to write.

(((Hugs Hugs and Hugs)))

PM, we will pray that it is something benign.  I had some scans done in February.  they found lesions on my liver as well as on my left lung.  They are only concerned with the lung ones, So just because they found something, doesn't mean it is something.  The difference is that my CTs were monitored by my onc, who is used to "the beast" and can fairly comfortably rule it out.  I head in the day after tomorrow for a follow up CT on the lung.  Hopefully they will find no change and may rule it as Coccidioidomycosis scars.  Although I have never tested possitive for it.  My GP also said that asthma can scar lungs much like hmmm was it smoking, or lung cancer???  I guess I should have listened better. 

Anyway, I am not trying to put down your concern, but you should feel much better when your Oncologist gets to see the report and scans. I know that thenot knowing anything is the worst.

I'm on the outer edge of the 40-60ish group (I'm 58 1/2), but wanted to stop by. Your thread looks like fun.

The main reason for my landing is to send my very best wishes & prayers to you, paulding, in this horrible time of waiting. I will be thinking of you.

{{{{{ ♥hug Lisa♥ }}}}} 

PauldingMom

Thank you so much everyone. I've got an extensive prayer group so that has got to count for something, right.  Meece, sounds like you have gone through this before. I'm holding on to your great advise with both hands.  I've got to find a way to stay calm until I can talk to my onc. and see what he says. I'm thinking that maybe the surgeon and GP are a little anxious. Emotional roller coaster right now. 

Thanks again everyone,

Pink Hugs, Lisa

PM, my GP errs on the side of caution every time.  When I first showed her my lump, I left her office that day with appointments for Mammo, Ultrasound, and a Surgeon.  Last week I left her office with an appointment to see a surgeon the following day.  My GP knows me as her patient for nearly 20 years.  I think that may be why they jump when something is going on with us.  They know that they are the first person of responsibility for issues we bring to them.

PM, still thinking of you today and knowing how when you first woke up this morning, your world was okay, and then it tilted as the adrenaline rushed in to remind you of your current fright! Use the energy to clean or sort or purge or something! The "fight or flight" instinct has gotta be good for something. (Problem with me is flight!!)

PauldingMom

Good News! Seeing Oncologist today at 3:00   so happy I don't have to wait till next week.

barbe1958

Keep us posted sweetie, we'll be thinking of you till you post!

elimar86861

P-Mom, we will have to synchronize our watches and send an enormous "going to be o.k." vibe out to you at 3:00 (Eastern time) today. 

Welcome several new Middies, and Valjean I already know from a few other threads.  I guess Meece or Seyla must have given you the password we use here:

                       

At this point, it's hardly a secret password.   More like common knowledge.
