Hi everybody! Checked in last night but you guys must have been talking up a storm to make the site crash! Since I last posted, have seen the surgeon (he wasn't very excited about the condition of the mass, said it was typical. What does that mean?) Had my CT scan today but don't know what the outcome was. Surgery is scheduled for Friday afternoon. Am hanging in there by my fingernails - so hard to be patient for info. Sometimes I feel great and then I think about the cancer and start feeling depressed. Could use lots of prayers and good energies from you guys, please. I'll be in the hospital for about a week so won't post until I get back home.
Love ya,
Laureen

    Thinking of You
    I am praying that all goes well for you on Friday. I know you are scared and you have every right to be. Remember to walk, walk, walk. That will help you heal faster. Let us know how you are doing when you get back home.

    My prayers and thoughts are with you as well, surgery can be scary, but I always got some good drugs for pain and sleep, hope you heal well, and like Kim said, do get up as much as possible, even to sit in a chair and not lay in the bed all day, we'll talk to you when you get back!

    Hugsss!

    CT scan report
    You might possibly get a copy of the the radiologist's report about your CT scan this afternoon at your surgeon's office, assuming it's at the hospital, since they are probably connected up by computer to the radiology dept. At least, that's how I get my scan reports from my oncologist's office. Not that you need to see the report, but it would be a way to pass the time today.
