    From Cold Minnesota
    Chuck,

    Here is some warm prayers and well wishes coming your way from cold Minnesota.

    I remember well my first and second scan being terrified. I was so anxious and although I have always been a rather positive person, I couldn't get the all the "what if's" out of my mind. I wish you the best...take a deep breathe. To some people, this may sound crazy, but I use essential oils...peppermint, wintergreen, lavender...whatever I think will help me at that moment. I dab it on my temple, feet or behind my neck ( don't get it in your eyes though, it will burn) I especially like peppermint when I need a lift, wintergreen when I have muscle aches, lavender when I need rest or calming. I use quite a bit before scans to help me focus on positive energy and thoughts.

    Remember, one foot in front of the other, breathe, breathe, breathe and you will be o.k. I am praying for you and your children. Our children are grown as well, but this c journey really affects them too. Keep your friends and family close and your enemies away~

    Hey Chuck.
    Prayers coming your way....can you feel it?
    Anyway, your wife stepping out on you sends me into orbit. A lot of processing goes with this, but you WILL come to a place where you know it was the best thing, to go separate ways. You can get on with healing physically and mentally. You don't need a stressor as big as that. You are young and have a lot of living to do. It will get there.
    When she realizes the grass isn't so green, hit the PAUSE button and think very, very, carefully. If she was scared, I don't buy it. When someone is "scared", they don't run to a person of the opposite sex. No excuses. None. (And I am a forgiving person.)
    HA - you didn't ask for my advice, but when it comes to relationships, I just spew advice all over the place.
    Get a good night's rest. Best to ya on the scan.

    Scan days and waiting for the results is an anxious time but usually everything is good. Praying that is the case for you. Let us know.

    It sucks about your wife, but I'm thinking you will need to let that go - that anger, angst, stress,bitterness-- and focus on yourself and this fight. Good to hear others are stepping up --> Solicit help, accept help from your friends. That was a hard one for me, but it was such a relief and a blessing once I did.
    I'm pulling for you.

I'm hoping the remainder of 2012 has some good times in store for me and the many others that suppport this forum. thanks again, chuck

    Good to hear, I was wondering as I went for my scans around the same time as you, but I don't have the results yet...even though apparently they're done and read about an hour after the scans are done...no one will let you know, they're sent to onc. and I don't see him till next week. But, apparently they get mailed to my fam. doc. so I'm gonna go and see if they've arrived at his office tomorrow. This waiting sucks!!!!
