♥ The Latest Update ♥ ♥ Praying to Dance with NED ♥
J
Hi to all of you, my cherished friends! I haven't posted until now as first, I didn't know anything until yesterday, and second, I have been so sick with the flu. Yep, I got the flu shot and came down with it! I can't remember the last time I had the flu, but, this was bad. It was just the regular/seasonal flu shot that I got and it wasn't but probably 4 hours later, I was one sick puppy. I did go ahead and have the bone scan, diagnostic mammo and the ultrasound as I no longer had a fever.
♥
The bone scan was clean of cancer! YEA! YIPPEE! WOOHOO! I danced my first dance with NED! However, my rads oncologist has ordered a CAT scan for me as there is something wrong according to the report. They want to see if there is an obstruction, infection, cyst or just what it is that showed up on the scan. So, they sent me home with that wonderful berrium crap to drink 1 1/2 hours before I go and then I will get another one when I show up. I am to have the CAT scan done on November 2. So, it is GOOD news that no cancer showed up, but, we still need to find out why I am having the pain.
♥
The diagnostic mammogram was clean of cancer! So, YEA, YIPPEE and WOOHOO again! And, a big WHEW! The tech was so sweet, so gentle, so caring. So, I am dancing my 2nd dance with NED! This was my first one since this last bc and I was scared, needless to say. But, I got thru it thanks to the tech.
The ultrasound showed 3 complex cysts with debris in them and 1 septated cyst. I know, it is Greek to me except for the cyst part. These did not show up on the mammo, but, they have been there ever since I had the lumpectomy. I kept telling everyone about them, but, everyone just kept saying that it was scar tissue, which made no sense, because I have never had scar tissue with any of my incisions. So, I have an appointment Oct. 28 with a surgeon for a consultation. What he will probably do is a needle aspiration of the cysts to test the fluid or debris for cancer, if he can get enough. And, if the fluid is not cancer, hopefully, the cysts will just deflate and dissolve. This was good news as I was afraid I would have to have surgery again to remove them, which could still happen, but, let's hope not. I am praying that he can get enough fluid from them to test and that it shows no cancer! Then, I can REALLY Yea, Yippee and Woohoo again and have NED dancing with me always! So, please continue your prayers for me as I still need them!
J
I apologize that this is so long, but, I am trying to explain what I was told and what I will still be having done to hopefully give me dances with NED forever! I have to admit, those couple of dances with NED were great! Now, if I can just get him to stay, I will be one very happy camper. Having bc is horrible, having it twice is beyond horrible. And, I know that others have had it more than that, but, I am just speaking for myself, and, my heart goes out to them, as having it twice was a real shock to me. My first time was in 1985 and I was so young. But, after so many years, I thought I was safe. But, I am fighting it and will continue as I still have a lot of life yet and I love my life.
♥
Now, how can I thank each of you wonderful, sweet friends? Just saying thank you for your caring words and support just doesn't seem like enough. As I read what you posted, I would smile, my heart would feel whole, and at times, tears would fall down my cheeks. I am so blessed to have each and every one of you in my life, to have found you at a time when my need was so high for help, support, encouragement and advice. You are all my angels! You came and still do come to me when I need you and I just hope and pray that I have and can do that always for each of you. Thank you my dear sweet friends!♥

♥Good friends are like stars..... You don't always see them, but you know they are always there!♥

Love you all, Jeanne ♥

See Jeanne?
I knew NED had somewhere to go when he left me this weekend. Congratulations on the good diagnoses, and you will be in my prayers that the scan shows nothing. I'm glad you are feeling better. Having the flu stinks. Just keep NED dancing!!!!!
Hugs and Prayers - Pat0 -
There you are!
Jeanne!! Thank god for the great news! We were so worried about you. We have great imaginations here at CSN and let me tell you they were on overdrive!
Well, first let me congratulate you on snagging another date with NED! What great news. I'll bet the cysts will be nothing. I've had multiple cysts since my lumpectomy and no one seems to be worried. The clean bone scan news is, of course, beyond wonderful. I hope the CAT scan will diagnose the problem properly and you will get the right treatment. But NO cancer!!!
Hope you are feeling better now. The flu sucks. Keep resting up.
I can now get on with my day without worrying about you. So happy to hear from you.

I just was so sick and didn't know anything to tell you until yesterday. And, trust me, my mind was in overdrive too in wondering as to what is going on with me.
I pray that these cysts are nothing. I will find out at least one way or the other, and, I am only thinking positive!
I hope that the CAT scan just shows something that is very easily taken care of. I am still blaming working in my flower gardens too hard, but, the rads oncologist just smiles at me and shakes his head when I say that. But, there again, what does he know???? lol

Congrats to you on NED! I am so very happy for you! And, thanks for sending NED out to my house. I just need to have him come one more time and stay!

I am so glad we are
Jeanne
I am so glad we are hearing from you but I can see that you wanted to have all the information you could before reporting to your battalion of warriors. Glad for the good results and prayers that the cysts are deflated and no surgery needed and most importantly that they have no dam* cancer in them. If you don't mind my asking what area are they looking at with the CT scan. Sounds abdominal, intestinal. Not trying to be noisy, just curious.
As for the help, support, encouragement and advice, right back at ya gal. I loved your good friends are like stars remark.
So again, my prayers and a big old cyberhug that the rest of the tests show that NED is here to stay. I think I hear that square dance caller shouting your name. So let's all join hands and circle the ring, stop where you are and give NED a swing, swing that little gal behind you, etc. That is all I remember from a square dance I learned back in my girl scout days. I also remember the Greek dance we learned. I am such a fount of useless information and it pops up at the most peculiar times.
Happy all is well,

Hi Stef! Yes, the CAT scan is for the abdominal and the pelvic area. Ask me anything, anytime. I have no secrets from all of you. Well, I might hold a few things back. hehe

And, thanks for your square dance cheer! It put a huge smile on my face!

You are welcome. Can't think of anyone right now that I would rather give a smile to. So get out that big petticoat and the bloomers and twirl around the floor.
And again, I will be praying that the CAT scan is good also. Good news is the order of the day.
So you are holding back information. Well, we have ways to make you talk. Yes, we do. LOL
Actually I am the same way. I pretty much put it all out here. This site is like the safe haven.
I think I understand the recurrence issue. I have had several cancers, but they are all different primaries and you would think that would freak me out, but I am more fearful and concerned of a recurrence with any of them. Go figure.

Glad NED is around. Hope he stays. There are two flu's going around so maybe your flu shot will still protect you. I had the flu a couple weeks ago too and it is not fun. May the rest of your tests come out good. Hugs.
UGH

I hope that I don't get the flu again. This time has been awful. I have never been so sick. Hope you are feeling better Marcia!
