Hi everyone! I just wnated to check in and let you know that even though I have not posted much, I read about what is going on with everyone. It has saddened me quite a bit of the amount of people that have lost this battle to cancer on here. Therefore, because of that, I have been putting extra energy into living life day by day the best I can without letting thoughts of cancer ruin them. Some days are easier than others...until it is time for my scans.

We are actually 150 miles from the hotel in Houston at MD Anderson and the anxiety is creeping. I have a PET and a CT on Monday so the 'what ifs' keep popping up.

If you could all kep me in your happy thoughts and prayers I would appriciate it.

My 5 year old wanted to stay home with grandma and grandpa, so we don't have our little 'disstraction' from the stress with us. But it will be good, my husband and I are due for some time together.

Thank you all!!

Linda

    I will be praying for you!
    I pray God relieves your anxiety, wraps you in His arms and comforts you for today and in the time you have to wait for the results. I pray that the scans will show good news and you will be able to celebrate!

    The Best
    Wishing you nothing but the best with your upcoming scans. Yes we have had some losses and that is so sad but we have also had successes, like you, and that lifts the spirts for the rest of us.

    Enjoy your "alone time", your little distraction will be enjoying grandma and grandpa and you 3 will be back together in just a few days.

    Take care - Tina

    I think you will be just fine young lady.....
    Now, after you get the all clear on the scans will you do me a favor and find a WattaBurger and have one for me...I love those things...I know its really not good for ya so if you would just sniff one that will be good enough for me......Listen, the scans will be fine, there is no sense in allowing something that you can't control take away from you and hubbies time together. Forget the scans and enjoy the day....Take your control back just as quick as you released it thinking about scans. There is not going to be anything there...You and I both know that....Love Hope and lots of Wattaburgers.......Clift

    Linda,

    I've missed seeing your picture and posts, but totally know what you mean. Anyhow, I am saying a prayer for you as I write this- for safety in travel, for quality time together for you and your husband, for a feeling of calm and peace to come over you and, of course, for your scan to have good results.

    Take care and God bless- I'll be looking for your post after you get your results.

    Thank you all!
    I am at MD Anderson waiting to do my last test, the CT scan. I can not WAIT to drink that barium 'stuff'! However I am so hungry from the fasting from the PET scan, that barium might be good...just kidding!

    I wanted to say thanks for the replys and the prayers. That really means a lot to me!

    And yes - I want a BURGER from that place!!! There are so many here and they small so good!!

    I will keep you all posted!

    I am saying a prayer for your scans. May they be all clear! We are headed to MD Anderson for David's scans on Thursday and Dr. Abdalla on Friday. This will be the first since liver resection in March. We really do wish you the very best. You have done so well and I am sure that will continue.

    Scans
    Praying that you get an all clear which I'm sure you will. Enjoy that quiet time with hubby and make the most of it. Having a little one at home, you don't get too much quiet time together.
