2012 sisters

Gee shucks ! Thanks tracyc. I can only post what is relative to me so if you have any concerns at all you should contact your BS or someone at the cancer agency. I know I emailed/called my patient navigator nurse almost every day after surgery asking if this or that feeling was normal.

Karenneedshope: sorry you had to find yourself here, but really here is your place to vent, cry, rant, laugh… whatever emotion you have get it out and share here – we all get it. The beginning really is the scariest time. My scans showed a couple of nodules on my lungs and one on my adrenal gland. My MO & BS both thought likely benign and if not, so small the chemo I was about to start would zap them. I had a cough on chemo…. Called it the chemo cough – hope it is just that. Listen to the advice of websister & the others…. Stay away from Dr. Google – you can and will scare the crap out of yourself.

Hugs and love to you all – hope you manage to have a wonderful weekend. Snowing like crazy here today.

Hi tazzy - thank you for your support and advice. Do you mind if I ask you the size of your nodules? Were they 1 - 4mm in size like mine?

Hi Scottie1 - thank you also for your help! I will definitely be here ranting, worrying, crying - and hopefully before long - laughing and celebrating!!

Tazzy - I'm so glad that yours were small and benign! Im hoping for the same of course. But if not, I'll try to be strong and go with the flow. I guess it's good that we are subjected to so many scans and tests - the waiting for results is challenging - but knowledge is power I guess!

Karen,

You are not alone!  Know that to be true.  Wonderful people here and all over the virtual world are with you to support you.  We've got your back.

I have about 8 or so nodules scattered throughout both lungs.  They have responded well to Tamoxifen--the only therapy I have had thus far.  They were pretty small to begin with, and are smaller--some have disappeared.  But you may not have cancerous lesions in the lung at all.  As websister says, one step at a time.

It's natural to scour the web for answers and then get convinced you'll be dead in 25 minutes; it's all part of the process.  I think it's waiting that is the worst part of anything that we go through.  But that's why you're here with us--we'll wait with you.  Keep us posted!

Scorchy

Oh! ramols that just sucks big time.   Get rest and let us know how you get on with the scans.

Hugs and love xxxx

Ramols - that does suck big time!!! Sending prayers and hugs, hope they break you out of there soon



Karen - glad you are finding hope here

Thanks ladies. Happy to report I'm home in my bed. They agreed to let me do the remaining scans and f/u as outpatient. Off to bed as I'm wiped. But will write more after some much needed rest. Hugs!

Ramols, so sorry for your crappy time. Glad you are home now and didnt have to try any potentially humiliating escape tactics- hard to look cool and/or casual when walking out in winter in those hospital gowns! Rest up and get well.

ramols: glad you are at home and tucked up in bed - no place like home eh?

So my return to work has been scuppered by snow... we have a snowfall warning in effect and the plows cannot keep up with it to keep the highways cleared.    Shovelling is good exercise eh?

Love & hugs to all xxxx

Ramols: so sorry to hear about this latest--shall we say--"adventure."  But glad you are home and in your own bed.  Keep us posted.

Tazzy: Sidetracked by snow?  That must be some snow to sidetrack a Canadian!  I tried to go back to work today--beore the doc gave me clearance--and I couldn't do it.  i just can't wait to go back.  I hope things clear out for you so you can get back to work.

Karenneedshope:  Welcome Karen.  Hold on because it will be a bumpy ride.  If need (and you will need) hold on to us!  (((HUGS)))  I never NEVER Googled anything at all... EVER. It's always a bad idea as we are all vey unique and a positive attitutde is some important.  Dr. Google can really take what little wind you might have in your sails right out.

Tazzy:  What Schorchy said... what kind of Canadian are you that you get sidelined by snow!?  Oh wait... I know... I BRITISH ONE! LOL!    (I crack myself up some days!)

Well back to work for me... HUGS!

Ramols, Oh wow! Sorry to hear you were sidelined like you were but so glad you were able to come home. Hope all is well now and that you atleast got your new squishes so you can lay on your side while you recover! 

Karenneedshope, as the others have said so sorry you have to be here but you landed in with the greatest group of ladies ever!

Tazzy I have to say Juneau and Scorchy got you on that one. lol It's funny because I was taken back a bit by Canadians being "snowed in" too

Websister Hope all is well on the Muga scan-nothing like having to wait a week  for those results although I think it's a little easier now after all we've been through right?

2Fried/Juneau/Scorchy:  I am sure 'real' Canadians would laugh at me and to what they get in the East of Canada with have nothing but a skiff.   I am just a real wooss when it comes to driving in it, and I got a snow day before I even started

If I am indoors and warm and cozy and dont have to go out - love looking at the snow.  Otherwise keep it on the mountain tops where it belongs... guess that will teach me to move to Canada and half way up a mountain.   It really is something you love or hate eh?

Karenneedshelp, I am with you on the fills - they HURT!
