I am sitting here all ready for an appointment with my Oncologist that is another hour away. I don't post here much, but I need to keep myself busy until I get in to see my doc. The scan was done last Friday, and like I always do, I emailed my doc for results. She usually has a nurse call and tell me they were good and then she faxes the report to me. This time, the nurse called and said I would have to come in for the results and the soonest appt they had was Friday. That was on Tuesday. So, on Wed I called my surgeon. He said he had the report, but couldn't get the films for review until Friday, but did admit that there were findings. Soooooooooooo. I know that the women on this board know all to well where my head has been this week. It's a very helpless feeling, frustrating really, when you know someone has information about your health, fate, and you can't get to that information. grrrrrrrrrr!!

    I just wanted to say that I am thinking of you and hope for the best. I too understand the stress scans and waiting for results cause. I am due for a ct scan next Thurs to follow up on a lung nodule. I hope everything goes well for you today!! Hugs.

    Thanks for the reply Shoppygirl.  Well.....looks like the beast is back......or maybe it never left.  Lesion on my spine at T4.  Need to go back for Pet and MRI to see where it might be lurking.  Then a biopsy to make sure the beast hasn't changed it's stripes.  Some radiation in my near future.....

    My main concern right now is how to tell my kids.  I know I want to be honest with them, but I certainly don't want to freak them out.

    I am so sorry. This is so difficult to deal with. I know the ladies in the stage 4 boards are very kind and supportive. It is so difficult when you have kids. I know they always say that if it comes back bones are best as there are so many treatments and so many woman have lived very long with just hormone therapy. You are in my thoughts and the amazing BC sisters will always be here for you. . Big hugs
