    balance
    Jim has had a balance and walking problem for the last 3 weeks and he has a lot of memory problems, weakness and lists to one side. I hope the doctor is just being over cautious.

    Here for you
    The balance and walking problems may not be due to brain mets. It is my understanding that this type of cancer goes to the lungs, not the brain. We are in limbo too and I hate it. It is hard to plan for the future. Hope the CT is negative. Karen

    Sorry to hear the pet wasn't clear and the possibility of mets to brain. Will continue in prayer for you and Jim. And I so know where you're coming from. Charlie always did better than me. I was such a basketcase. Keep good thoughts and prayers coming your way! I know that's easier said than done. When we got the news of Charlie's mets; I gave myself 1 day to wallor and then the next day joined him in the fight mode. That's the only way you can do this. Yes, I worried constantly and I didn't expect him to go as quickly as he did after the news; but he would have had a very hard time in the future his onc. told me. I hope and pray that you and Jim have the compassionate docs we had. They were just so super. I'm going to make both the onc. and rad onc. a bunch of goodies to take to their offices during Christmas. They are so appreciative and probably don't get the thanks and appreciation they deserve and beside I like doing it! God Bless and Don't Ever Give Up!

    waiting and "in Limbo"
    Debbie,
    I may sound like a broken record to be just another person saying they care, but I do, and you both are in my thoughts and prayers today. I hope things come out the best for you. I also wanted to say "thank you" for making this post. My husband and I are also in limbo right now, and I have to say, I'm TERRIBLE at accepting this waiting game. Reading your post reminded me that we are certainly not alone, and if others can put up with this and deal with it over many years (like some people posted) who am I to complain.
    Best of luck for you!
