Relieved

Went for my 6th month PET scan today and was relieved to find out my pain is just two fractured ribs on my left side. No change in the bone mets that he can see but I am having some follow up tests to verify everything. I was so scared as my story mirrors Elizabeth Edwards in so many ways. I've been fighting since 2003 with recurrance in 2009 to sternum and ribs. I now have bone mets and am on hormone therapy. Thanks for letting me share my story, you are my soul sisters! Happy holidays to all! Terry

    how we look at things
    some with fractured ribs would complain and carry on..and to others it's a GOOD thing if has to be something....

    Amazing what we can tolerate
    Amazing what we can tolerate when we know it's not cancer. You are inspiring.

    Happy Holidays to you too!
