Whew! Thanks for all the good words and prayers! My doctor called, and it's okay. I have a nodule, but it's just nothing. People have them. I don't think oncologists know the effect they have on us. I hear his voice on the phone, and my blood pressure immediately goes to stroke level.

Thank you for the support, everyone. Since I wanted to share the good word, I didn't personally answer people who had written since I was on this morning. But please know that I read and cherished all the messages.

*hugs*

    I Just seen this after replying your last one! It's just a nodule, is that a good thing? I never understand what a nodule is to a met, to it being cancerous or not? I just hope it's something not to worry about!!

    Wondering what was going on?
    Hi Gail! I tried to open your last post yesterday, and once again, it refused to open. I'm glad you posted this one...you had a scare, eh? That sucks! I'm so glad it turned out to be nothing. You must be doing something right, so keep it up!

    Hugs to you and the grandbabies!

    Gail,

    I'm so glad to hear your news! I haven't been answering many other posts recently, I've just been caught up in my own stuff I guess, but I'm very glad to read this about you!
    You take care and go relax now!

    Why do they scare us so
    Wish those docs would realize that we hang on every word and worry when just messages like that are left.
    Wheww- so glad everything is okey dokey!!!

    I can tell you why they scare us with their words...Because if you have never actually been a cancer patient then you have no idea how a cancer patients mind absorbs everything negative. How we deal with it is another story but until they have walked a mile in our shoes, they have no idea.......

    Not sure
    I'm not sure what the distinction is, but he said not to worry, that it's nothing, so I take that to mean it's not cancerous and won't be. I go in on Oct. 12, so I'm going to ask him more then.

    Thanks for the prayers!

    the daylights out of you....my last scan they found
    a tiny nodule on a lung and one on the pole (?) of a
    kidney but that was nothing either.....hope they
    all stay that way.

    Huggs,
