Hi my favorite group. Just wanted to add that I did get thru the pet scan. Bummer, I thought you were kidding about being bolted down. Lived thru it. Went for the results today and at first it was not good news. The nurse informed me they found a large mass on the scan and I needed to undress and the dr was going to do an exam. OMG...so I did. The nurse and the dr came back in and I asked where this mass was, stomach, intestines, as that is the sort of cancer the tumor is. He said to the right side of my lower stomach, near the legs. Two weeks ago, a boil, which I have never had in my life, nasty thing, started growing and just getting bigger by the day. Just what I need .I am seeing my dr in the next two wks. , will tell him about it. I sure hoped it had nothing to do with cancer, I do not know. When I told him this, he lifted the sheet, looked, dropped the sheet and laughed. Said heck of a scare you gave me. I was so relieved, we all laughed. Not that this nasty boil is funny, sure beats more cancer. Moral to this story, even nasty things can be good...ha. So, it was a good day and I went home knowing the only cancer I have is in the voice box, it has not spread anywhere, cancer no where else and I was making a trip to get an antibiotic....not bad at all. So, now off to treatment, thanks for all the support . Having the trach, peg, not alot of fun. Lost 4 lbs, down to 91, so that was the bad news. I can work with that. Wishing good days for everyone. denise

    Great news
    So happy to hear that your cancer has not spread. LOL - probably the first time you were happy to have a boil...it's much better than the alternative ;-)

    Be careful with your weight, you definitely can not afford to lose any, and be sure to stay hydrated as it is easy to become dehydrated during treatment.

    Stay strong,
    Glenna

    Pet scan
    Glad that your scan was good. Tho a boil doesn't sound like fun. Keep trying to gain or at least not lose anymore weight. I know it's hard!! Best of luck

    Wow, talk about a loow low and high high in a few minutes. Very glad to hear it was just a pesky boil.
