hello all. i will be going in for a cat scan tomarrow for lungs ab and pelvic area. i will give you a recap of whats went on. i have 11 tumors in my left lung and 1 in the right as of feb and am no longer operable. at this point i have been off chemo since dec 17. they r giving my body a break. i am a little nervous about this test as i hope that all is stable and nothing has changed except of course some of this going away. i feel really good except for this cough i have had since march. I know the Lord is with me but these times are very trying. pleae know that i keep all of you in prayer even the ones that just read but dont post. have a great day. I have 2 children that r 6 and 8 and while i know it is a miracle i am still here i want to be rid of this as i know we all do. i am a fighter but sometimes the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak.

    Dear Nettie,
    I am going for a PET scan tomorrow because I have something on my lung not visible 9 months ago. There are no cowards on this board, if we weren't scared spitless we wouldn't be normal people. I promise I will pray for you at exactly the moment I start the PET scan. Just like your body fighting the disease, sometimes your spirit could use a rest, too. I know when you get there you will be fighting just as hard as you have been up until now. Who could blame you for your fears? Good luck. I know we are all standing by you tomorrow.

    Nettie: needless to say, my prayers are with you; my dx is similar, and there could be non-surgical alternatives. E-mail me here on CSN if you wish to discuss further. In any case, keep us updated..

    Nettie,
    Hang in there. This can be a terrible ride, but you have a lot in your favor. You are young and you have that wonderful family. Girl, I am so sorry that this is so hard. Know that I am thinking of you and praying for you.
    Love and Hugs,
    Taunya

    You are in my prayers. i think it was nanuk who said sometimes the spirit needs a rest. i agree with that, but i know your spirit will be strong once you get there for the test. Hang in there!

    You have my prayers daily.

    Sometimes the burden just gets to be too much and that's when I am so glad that we all have each other on here.

    Keep us posted and if you need a good book to give you hope these are two that inspired me:

    A Cancer Battle Plan by Anne Frahm
    When Hope Never Dies by Marlene McKenna

    peace, emily who begs God daily for everyone's healing on here--really I do--every day. ....squeaky wheel gets the grease kind of thing.... :-)

    Nettie- We all get nervous from time to time, bt you sound strong still. Just keep fighting. If you have two kids you need to see grow up. I will be praying hard for you. Keep us updated.
    Love and prayers, Judy
