I see my onc for my 3 month follow up on Friday the 23rd. I'm sure he's going to say everything is good, but I'm just so nervous. Now don't get me wrong, I love my onc & think he's awesome, but my nerves are frazzled about this appt. I guess it's just knowing that he could tell me the cancer
has reared it's ugly head again.

I've been through a lot of stress on top of fighting this battle in the past 6 months & I really think the outside stress is getting the best of me now. And I know how fast IBC comes & I just keep remembering Heide & Meena. I'm very scared today & can't shake the feeling.

Hugs & God Bless,

Dawne

    Texas here I come!!!
    Dawne - You better believe I'm coming to TX! Although I no longer eat meat, I will make one exception this time and eat some nice bbq ribs over there. I'm sure a lot of people here would be happy to join us too! So count me in!

    It's always stressful when going to see onco. The fear is always there. But I have faith you are OK. So I am sending you my positive thoughts and good energy.

    How could we not think about those we've lost, especially now during the holidays. It's sad, but think about this: they wouldn't want you to be sad, right? And I'm sure they are watching over us. And I'm sure they'll be on that bus too although we can't see them. Supporting you.

    Here praying for a good ride and excellent test results.

    Hugs

    You are so right
    You are very right, I don't think they would want us to be sad. Both Heide & Meena were strong warriors & fought with every ounce they had. I believe they are watching over us :)

    I love ribs & good ol Texas brisket, so after my appt we will all have to go chow down :)

    Thank you for your prayers & I will let you know what the dr says.

    Hugs,

    Dawne .. I am shaking and freaked out, as well
    Went this am at 9:30 a.m. for my quarterly -- Oncology appointment -- poking, blood pressure, blood work up -- general physical check up. Everything looked good, however, we now play the wait and see == game .. which in my case is the blood results ... hate hate this waiting game.

    So .. I am here holding your hand, pacing back and forth -- jumping everything the phone rings .. Positive results for you, and for me....

    Prayers coming for you ..

    Please note that I am available for ribs ... yum yum ... LOL

    Lots of rain here
    Nancy, I'm in Central Tx & all we"re getting is much needed rain. We usually get an ice storm in January or February, and everything shuts down & the news channels go crazy with it lol

    Thank you for coming along on Friday. And a big thank you for you prayers for both me & Vicki.

    Hugs & Merry Christmas,

    I will be there.
    Am praying for you and Vicki. For Christmas shall we change the silly string to red and green? NAH still hot pink for our brave fighting warriors and dear pink sisters.

    I am betting that Santa is bringing a good report for your stocking, anyway that old coot had better be. Or he may get stomped on by some pink Texas cowboy boots!

    Try to hang on!

    Haha
    Jennifer I almost spit out my Dr Pepper when I read that he'll get stomped on by pink Texas cowboy boots :) thank you do much for coming with me & for praying.

    Suzanne, I really don't know what he's going to do. This is the first time I've seen him since he told me I'm in remission in August. Hopefully he says I'm doing great & ready for reconstruction. I'll let you know ASAP on Friday.

    Hugs,

    I will be there with my boots on, snow or no snow (with my luck there would be snow). I was clear for 8 1/2 years b4 the beast decided to make a return visit and then he had the balls to decide to put his feet up and stay a while, but I am still trying to boot his fat a++ right out the door!

    What I am saying is that I still feel your stress and everyone here with each and every test, dr visit, cold, etc. Even though you know in your heart that you are good, there is always that nagging what if. I can honestly say though, that when it did come back, I knew b4 I even went to the doctor (and it was not a scheduled check up), that there was something drastically wrong, it and I felt so different (not in a good way) than I had ever felt before.

    I am looking forward to some ribs, music and line dancing! So fire up the bus, sounds like it will be a full load, and we will have to celebrate Christmas and good test results!

    Prayers and hugs,
    Carol

    I've never been to Texas. Lookin' forward to going. Fire up the grill - I LOVE BBQ ribs. Can we do some horseback riding after the BBQ?

    I look forward to hearing that your report is a good one!

    Sending prayers your way.

    I'll come back to Texas to be with you, Dawne!
    I lived in San Antonio for 3 years back in the 80s and loved it. I'm right back there with you in spirit for that appointment. I know just how you feel--I have one coming up in Jan. with onc. and surgeon and am having pain in one of my vertebra, so, of course, I'm super-scared about that. So scared that I've made an appt. tomorrow with the onc. I hate having to worry about every little ache and pain now--things that I would have passed off before as a pulled muscle or just one of those things that would go away.

    Anyway--I'm sending all positive energy and heartful prayers your way for a great visit for you and the docs. Try to relax and leave it in God's hands. He'll take care of you.

    Hugs, Renee
