    It was difficult for me to read your posts because I felt like we were going down the same road. The three months between scans I tried really hard to not think about it but the closer I got to the repeat scan, the harder it got to forget about it. I went through so many senarios in my head that I thought I was prepared for anything.

    I will be keeping up with your results.

    HUGS!!!

    Hi Jamie
    It's been a bumpy
    Hi Jamie

    It's been a bumpy ride right from the start. I have to say, that with the support and knowledge of the ladies and men here, I have been able to breath a little bit easier. I feel I am prepared for whatever comes my way.

    My husband and I had a serious discussion about how to or where to go from here. There are so many scenarios that can actually happen. I have been on the verge of calling Sloan Kettering for a while now but just can't seem to do it. Even though I worry that my nodules are a sign of "not so good news", I don't want to move any faster in finding out. It's too scary for me. The last report I got is so unnerving and troubling to me but I honestly don't want to cross a new bridge until I have to. Hubby wants me to make the call NOW. I want to, but I don't ... I have the next CT scan scheduled for the end of July. I figure I can wait. If these nodules are cancer, I've learned that it can be (most likely) slow growing. I figure, what's a month? For me, that month of waiting will give me some much needed doctor free time.

    In June, I only see 2 doctors for non related stuff. I've been gardening, reading books I haven't had time for. I've been reaching out to others who need help with their daily doings and it keeps me moving. It feels wonderful to be here when someone really needs me. Not the other way around. I've always been the "go to" person with friends and family. I've missed that.

    SO I am taking one day at a time. Planning retirement with my husband. It's so exciting imagining a move to the south with him and just re-acquainting ourselves to being Husband and Wife.

    Stay strong and just let it be. It does work.

    Hugs and positive thought being sent your way.

    xoxo
    Mary

    Experience Is The Same For All!

    Dear Jamie,

    We always think we are prepared. Even after all these years for me (going on 18 years since diagnose in August) I find that the same emotions surface with some new bump in the road that I didn't expect.

    Cyberknife sounds great!

    Please don't apologize. It doesn't matter if it's one or 90 tumors, we don't want any of those horrors. The whole process of the experience is the same for everyone going through another round of this awful disease.

    I was very calm in 2008 too. My oncologist showed me the CT & PET scans together on what I called the plastic woman on the computer screen. I could see the lungs were totally lighted up. I remember thinking, you should be falling apart instead of being intrigued with this new technology. I remained pretty calm most of the time since, but some new bump occasionally sends me off that track.

    We are all here for you,

    A gentle hug to you.

    Doris

    Good luck with your PET scan
    Good luck with your PET scan and biopsy. I will be praying for you Jamie.

    Jamie, I'm sending some positive energy your way
    It's true--you really won't know exactly what it is until further testing is done. I don't have a problem with being in denial--it's just another coping mechanism--in my opinion, better than being curled up in a dark closet. I was just re-diagnosed at Stage IV due to bone mets. There are some days when I just pretend life is unchanged since pre-diagnosis 2 1/2 years ago. And, you know what, sometimes it works. That's not to say I have my head in the sand--I'm currently undergoing recommended treatment.

    Keep the positive thoughts flowing and let us know.

    Hugs, Renee

    I'm sending positive thoughts to you too. I hope you are healing well. I've been sitting by the phone all morning hoping someone will call with appointments info but just realized........this is Friday. I'm going to try to separate myself from the phone but will definitely resume first thing Monday morning.

    HUGS!!!
    Jamie

    Thanks for asking but I won't know anything until I see my onc on Thursday. I don't know if I will need a biopsy. It probably depends on whatever the PET shows. I hope the PET worked the way it is supposed to. I was moving more that I should have due to the pain in my right arm. I tried to reposition it so it wouldn't hurt so much. After freaking out most of yesterday I am kind of mentally numb today.

    HUGS!!!

    Thanks for putting me in your prayers.
    I called to make sure I was still on for tomorrow morning since my PET was so late and I was told they had the results and would see me tomorrow. I'm hoping maybe the PET indicated I don't need a biopsy. If it doesn't, I'll deal with it but it doesn't hurt to think good thoughts until I hear different. I'll post as soon as I get home tomorrow.

    HUGS!!!
    Jamie
