Thinking Out Loud.....

Seyla, I love the new avatar!

I hope you all slept well.

Sheila,

Thank God you called your Onc!!  I can imagine how much anxiety you have right now.  You made the right decision, though.  Just try and get through today, keep busy, and tomorrow will be here before you know it.

Do you have someone to go to the appointment with you?  Perhaps today you could write down a list to bring to your onc.  Like, when did you first start to notice the pain, the type of pain, sharp or dull etc. 

I truly hope it is nothing but know that you made the right decision to call your doctor.

Please continue to coem here and vent or voice your anxieties.

HUGS!!!!!!!

Linda

Seyla, Are you out there?  Are you OK??

Okay, This the story. When i was doing wash oncologist's office called and left a message, called back left one with a live person. My DR calls me back saying the pain is absolutely not related to cancer and he wouldn't be able to help. Since i had a diagnostic mammo in June and saw the BS 3 weeks ago. HE told me to call the surgeon and i did his nurse tells me Oh No he is going away for 3 weeks starting tomorrow. Since i had a good DR patient relationship I asked if he could just call me back, finally 15 minutes ago the phone rang its him. I described it he said that he had absolutely no concern about the pain, he asked me if the skin color was different than before and its not. He said to me <it is very common the lumpectomy side still adjusts itself> I will take Advil he really calmed my nerves>

The End.

I am really so so sorry I almost lost it. You are all wonderful caring people the last thing I want to do is come to these boards after being a survivor upset my friends.

THANK YOU THANK YOU 

I appreciate all of you.

Thanks Linda I am emotionally drained. I will play little bit then I want to watch Jay Leno's new talk show at 10.

We are so lucky to have each other.

God bless you all.

So my trouble making cat has managed to steal the "h" key from my laptop!!??

There is just a hole. It still makes an "H", you don't think she swallowed it do you? I don't want that job... Looking for the key. I know it was her because she was sleeping on it this morning when I woke & it was going "beep beep beep"...she had twenty screens open.

*sigh"

Two laptops down to the cat.

My little male finch is just crying with grief this morning, I've had them 5 years, his mate died last night...should I buy him another? He loved her so, they spent her whole life building nests and grooming each other & laying eggs...never hatched one, but had fun trying

I don't know much about finches, I am more of a chicken & parrot & dog girl

Seyla! So glad for the good news. I am still worried about my bone scan having uptake, but I see another oncologist on Friday, just to get a second opinion on everything. I already go to one of the top centers in the country, but I left my lumps for over 5 years under the advice of doctors, so I am having trust issues.

My laptop is missing the A key!!!  When I post I have to double check because if you don't hit it in the right spot, it doesn't work.

Dawn, dont blame you on the trust issues.  WHy did you have bone scans done?  Did they think it spread.  God, I hope not!!

My onco did them as a baseline. I had uptake in the sternum, she said it was not mets but injury related from the 3 surgeries I had on my breast in the previous 6 weeks. *shrug*

She is the top of her game, a professor of oncology at UAB....does nothing but breast cancer. She is lead investigator on the Zometa trials...I have a hard time not trusting her judgement, but could they have really bumped my breastbone during surgery?

Someone said they scrape the tissue from your ribs? I don't know, I have never seen it done. My oncologist says she has seen them break ribs! It does feel a little bruised & has NEVER hurt before?? Who knows?

My sons name is Cameron James after James Cameron.  My DH is a movie fanatic.  BTW, my DH is Kurt Douglas, not Kirk, but close enough. 

I have never heard about breaking ribs etc.  Ugh!!  I have nerve damage in my shoulder from the SNB, which suxs big time.  I've heard others have similiar pains.

Thinking what a sad day with the loss of Patrick and Mena

Call then, there's no harm in it.  It will make you feel better.

God has a bigger plan for all of us.  Sometimes I wonder exactly what it is but who am I to question.

Breathing in and out slowly. Should be reminded now and then

I was looking for other games I came accross few. We'll see if it gets any ratings.

hehehe
