Day, that's right! You can focus on the struggling Spring flowers and enjoy their beauty. It'll be a long weekend for you, so be prepared to be anxious. We're here to be your shoulder, sweetie!

We have a gorgeous weekend on tap so will be tending to my flowerbeds tomorrow. Day, I'll be thinking of you! Snow crocus are blooming, daffodils will soon, tulips are ready, and tiger lilies are just coming up. It's a bit early, but I want to check on the peonies and sweet peas. Hostas should still be asleep alongside the ferns but when they wake up so will the lilies of the valley. Love this time of year, Spring equinox is next week already! ((hugs))

Waiting with you!! My DH is Marshalling on the golf course today! He's happy!! Not sunny here (yet) though. I will be cleaning house for my son and his family tomorrow for dinner. My dining table is piled with my pastel paintings I've been doing!!

It is hard to grow plants in the desert. It takes a lot of water, during the summer they almost need a constant drip. We managed a few zuccini in a raised bed garden last year. Plus we live in 'the boonies' and have lots of round tail squirrels who can out smart just about any barrier. Sure enough they got into the zuccini! Your flowers are so pretty and the photographs too. You have inspired me to go to the nursery and get a couple of larger plants and see if I can keep them going for the spring (I'll also have to go the the hardware store for fotifications - LOL).

Hi Day,
Just wanted you to know that I had quite a few lung nodules including "glass" nodules (whatever they are???) on my lungs in my original diagnosis, which my onc discounted because I "grew up in NJ" where practically nobody escapes lung nodules. Anyway, 3 1/2 years later I had a brain seizure which was caused by mets to the brain (Nov. 2011).
What I really wanted to share with you is that when they need to be "definitive" they can do a biopsy of lung nodules, which they did for me. They do it while you're kind of in the CAT scan machine, so they can position you to access the area they need to biopsy, based on the latest pictures.
In my case, it did prove to be bc mets. It makes me wonder if in fact I had it 3 1/2 years ago, which would have made me Stage IV rather than II, at my original diagnosis?
Either way, it is what it is. Just wanted you to know they can do those biopsies if you're still feeling nervous/unsure after the pet scan. Meanwhile, I'm crossing my fingers and praying for you too!
(Btw, I too still have a benign "nodule/thing" on my thyroid, but an now taking a thyroid supplement from naturopath to help the thyroid funtion...) Good luck!

Day, that sounds scary. Just a thought, could that pain be from a hernia? I know someone who had one in that area, had surgery to repair it, and is doing quite well now.
Cleaned up flowerbeds today and found a marker for some red Day Lilies I planted last fall.

Still here with you sweetie...holding your hand.
-
dang! just a thought anyway, will be with you today waiting for test results, hopefully tomorrow. ((hugs))

Hi Day,
I had a variety of nodules, mostly in the 2 -4 mm range. But there was also one that was close to 9mm. But, I too, have had pneumonia in the past, and even had whooping cough 4 years ago - right before my original bc diagnosis. So I believe a lot of things show up that really aren't bc.
Still keeping my fingers crossed for you and thinking that everything will come out b-9. Including that ovary and node.

Day:
Thinking of you and hoping that you get some news tomorrow and don't have to wait until Tuesday - and of course, it goes without saying that I also hope it is all good news. Still hovering around you........

Don't you just love how we drive our selves crazy waiting for results. Had to go through a weekend waiting myself at the end of January and played that same mind game on myself as well. If I hear early - that will be bad, if I don't hear right away - that will be bad too..... I just couldn't find any peace within myself. Didn't hear jack until Tuesday, but mine turned out well. And I'm just going to expect yours to as well. Try to get through the night the best you can. I hate this for you, as I know the feelings only too well. I'm already dreading the next freaking test I will have to have - and we all know - we will always have "another thing" that needs to be scanned. I hate this disease - hate it, hate it. Hang in there, take deep breaths, and know we are here with you.
Hugs,
Linda

Well, that stinks, for sure. It's one thing if we don't tell them about something, and prefer to keep our heads in the sand (I'm guilty of that, I'm afraid), but quite another when you really do complain and they do nothing about it. No excuse for that, whatsoever, and I sure hope everything turns out not to be cancer related, because I certainly would not know how to deal with it, if what you complained about was truly something and they did nothing about it. But, I don't even want to go there, and am keeping everything crossed that it will not be the case.
Hugs,
Linda

just checking to send you some ((hugs)) Day!
-
Holding your hand this morning, waiting to hear any news...
-
-
I always feel that no news is good news and can be saved to call later. I get upset when my doc calls in the middle of the day!!
-
Friday is the worst!
-
...and they just leave a message to call and by the time you get the message their office is closed for the weekend!!!!
