I'm about to have a nervous breakdown!

It's not Cancer
It's not cancer until you have a biopsy to confirm. Try to relax. Get the tests done. If it is something, you are getting it early. You can do it if you have to. I just finished my second go around with the beast. Just went back to school Monday, I'm a teacher--the one with the water bottle permanently attached to her hand!

Hi Kingcole

Sometime we have to look at both the good and bad together; you have a great NED report of the head and neck, for that I say Thanks you Lord. Now let’s look also at the ovary, a lot of things can happen there and it may not be anything. My daughter had problems there and had to get one removed, it was not cancer just something wrong with the ovary. I been through cancer three times and I know how it feels to get a bad report, I learned to just put it in the hands of my Savior and let him take care of it. It is not easy and takes a lot of faith, but you too can do it. Stop worrying and just say Lord takeover the problems in my life. My last PET scan 3 months ago showed Clean in the H&N but showed problems in the lungs. I go next week on the 8th for a follow-up PET to see if there is anything there or not. It is all in the hands on my Lord, I will keep you in my prayers that your MRI shows no cancer.

Wishing you the best
Hondo

Hang Tough
.....I know much easier said, once you've endured the battle that we already have.....

I can't offer any advice on being calm....but.

I'd say the odds are much better that it's not cancer, and just a cyst or something non-cancerous than the other.

Thoughts and Prayers,
John

Thanks to everyone.
I have just had so much pain lately, I just went to my PCP yesterday to tell her I can't take it. I told her I was having my PET results that afternoon. She suggested I tell the onco,which I did. But before I could she brings up this ovary thing. The weird thing is most of my pain (which I must say is a good 7 to 8 most of the time) in on the left side where the problem ovary is. Even pain relievers like motrin or tylenol don't touch it. So yeah I'm scared. Just waiting for them to call with my appt. for the MRI. Until I have that, I won't be at peace. Thank you all so much for your support. Shelly

I know how you feel.....
I was only about six weeks past radiation when the pet scan showed good results in head and neck but something lit up in my uterus. I thought theres no way its cancer, God wouldnt be that cruel. My doc decided to not take any chances and he scheduled me for a hysterectomy. My husband cried all the way home as he was sure I wouldnt survive the surgery after what id just been through....Im still here and Im happy to say it was a rare type of fibroid. Totally benign. The survery was a breeze and other than being a little depressed about not being able to have anymore kids (which we werent planning on, just didnt like not having the option) I actually feel a lot better. The pain Id always had in my ovaries and lower abdomen is gone for good. Sorry for the long reply. Just want you to know it isnt automatically cancer AND sometimes it works out for the best.
