Just got a letter from radiology for more views. I worry about cancer returning and have felt rather dismissed by doctors or patronized by "I guess we could take a look at this." Did one of those "Oh, if you insist" test and now need to go back for further look. I'll never feel like I can trust and lose the fear if I keep getting call backs. Okay so I worry. I can not share this with my family just yet cause I'm just a bit too unnerved to deal with my own panic and do not need to incite theirs just yet. Please just reassure me that all these thingys usually mean absolutely nothing. Where is my beloved oncologist who placated my fears with tumor markers that were a bit elevated but we would watch. After he left new oncologist doesn't believe in them. Stop this insanity! Anxiety level pretty darn high. My poor old PCP will again get an earful. Bring on the Ambien!

    Take your ambien or xanax, whatever helps you relax. Chances are it is nothing, but it is reassuring to know they are watching you carefully. I am sending you lots of positive thoughts for a wierd thingy that is nothing!

    Deep breath....waiting sucks, but just think of it as being extra careful. Get some sleep...thank god for Ambien I would call and insist on getting in imediatly...not because I think this anything bad, but because you deserve to know for sure ASAP

    Sending hugs

    That call is frightening. Pushing is good. Keep it up.

    As my sister says "don't let trouble, trouble you until you know it is trouble". In other words put those thoughts aside if you can until you know you have something to worry about.

    hang in there.

    Got my act together again. My fear of not knowing again gets the best of me. Had to stop and think of the first journey to put in perspective this news. For a moment even fleetingly said I need to forget even following up but realized that regardless no action is not useful. I am a bit disappointed that docotr's office didn't call but am not going to obsess over that either. Thank for good wishes and a path to clearer thinking.
