results of ct scan of lungs

Dear, Dear Joanne:
I know how you are feeling right now. So often when things were 'found' for me, I would come here in hopes to have someone say, 'it's nothing' 'everything's going to be okay'. No-one can truly say that for sure, but I believe that Bonnie has given you a good deal of hope. And, although I have not personally had this situation, I would like to offer some hope to you as well. I, along with family members, have had tests that showed 'something suspicious' but turned out to be nothing. While I know we can't rule out what we'd rather not hear, I always say 'don't worry about something that hasn't happened yet'. That may sound empty, but if you spend your energy right now thinking too far ahead, you won't get the emotional and physical rest that you so desperately need right now. I'm glad the doctor is assisting with the Xanax.

Let us know when you've had your appointment with the oncologist. In the meantime, Bonnie, myself and so many others will pick up our breastplates and swords and go to battle for you, believing that the war has been already won! Just picture all of us (silly as we would look!) in our armour running across the fields with hope, courage and strength!
Hugs, love, prayers,
Monika

Hello Joanne, I'm so sorry you are going through all of this, and feeling so frightened. I suppose we have all been at this point at least a couple of times....it's just awful!!!! But, isn't your CA-125 number still very low? I think that should give you some real hope. I know that lymph nodes enlarge even with a cold, so after all of what you have been through recently, I'm sure there are many other reasons other than the ovca that could be causing all of this. I'm hoping that with a good night rest, you will wake up tomorrow with a renewed positive outlook. This roller coaster ride is a nightmare, isn't it? Take good care, dear friend, we are all here for you. MM

Hi Joanne, Of course you are scared, who wouldn't be, after all you have been through! And that's important too, because you know what you have faced in the past and found the strength to persevere. It's truly amazing what can be done to keep us alive...and how strong the will to live can be. You will get through the shock and on to the next part, moment by moment sometimes.
Sending you some power prayers, an extra hug today and all good thoughts toward your next testing results. Can you have a pet scan? Hang in there, girl!
