SURGERY IS SCHEDULED NOW ♥♥ PLEASE PRAY FOR ME
♥
Well, I had hoped and prayed that I could say that I was "Dancing with NED", but, I can't quite say that yet. NED is being very elusive and I think, playing hard to get, but I swear, I am going to dance with him forever real soon or else! lol
I had the CAT scan November 2nd and had a bad allergic reaction to it, as some of you already know. I told the techs that I was allergic to mercury compounds, but, the techs said that since that was topical, that the iodine in the contrast material that they put in my IV should not bother me. IT DID! I broke out in hives and could hardly breathe. The techs gave me benadryl right away, and, it stopped the hives and I could breathe rather quickly. WHEW! So, that was the most exciting CAT scan that I have ever had. But, I do not want a repeat of it..ever..thank you very much. It was a tad bit scary, to say the least.
♥
We met with my rads oncologist yesterday to go over the CAT scan results. NO CANCER! YEA!!!!!!!!!!!! What they did find in re to the pain that I have been having is that I do have diverticulitis, which is manageable with medication, some food changes and try to reduce my stress. ( like that will happen lol ) Also, I have some nerve damage to my back and that has been probably causing most of the pain. He has made an appointment for me with a back/abdominal pain and nerve specialist, but, it isn't until January. But, that was the soonest he could get me in. He said that they will do an ultrasound to pinpoint what is going on for sure and then it can be treated probably with medication and physical therapy. So, I can handle that. I just hate that I have to wait so long to see him. He said if they get a cancellation, that I am first on the list to be called. I was so relieved to find out that there was no cancer in my abdomen, back or anywhere in that area.
♥
Ok, now I see my surgeon on December 8th, to have a needle excision or needle aspiration to get a tail on one of the cysts. I know, it sounds funny..I laughed. I guess 1 to 2% of people have this happen to them and I am one of them. Lucky me! I apparently have those 3 complex cysts with debris in them and 1 septated cyst, which is the tail. Ok, stop laughing and I mean it! lol He will be guided by an ultrasound to get the tail first and after that, the other cysts might or are suppose to just dissolve and go bye bye. If not, then I will have outpatient surgery where he goes in and takes them out. All of this will have to be tested for cancer. But, I am hoping and praying that it will be benign and then finally, I can grab NED and dance the longest dance ever. ( hubby said it was ok, he wouldn't be jealous lol )
♥
Once again you sweet, dear friends, have overwhelmed me and cheered me on when I just felt almost hopeless. I have fought bc twice and with all of these tests and bad reactions and still not knowing if I am free of cancer, it does get overwhelming, or for me it has. And, especially since it is almost a year now I have been going thru surgery, test after test, rads or doctor visits. But, with all of your support, notes, posts and kind words and prayers, I have focused on getting thru this and living a full and happy life cancer free! Thank you all! I don't know what I would do without each and everyone of you! Please continue your prayers for me as I still need them with these cysts. Pray that they are benign.
♥
Good friends are like stars...You don't always see them, but you know they are always there!♥
Love, Jeanne ♥

It was horrible. I have never had anything like that happen before where I couldn't breathe. Glad hubby wasn't in the room, they would have had 2 of us going nuts then. lol It should have been in my records and I did tell them, but, I guess they didn't think it would react to me since it was in the IV. Live and Learn I guess.
Thanks for your continued prayers..I need them Debby.

I would give up dancing with NED to any of you. I truly would. But, if I can have him and he can still be with all of you, that would be the best! I will gladly share him with everyone! Yes, I feel like you, if they are waiting to drain the cyst tail thingie, they must feel ok about it. But, prayers always help. Thank you Calleen for your kind and positive words. How are you doing? Ok, I hope. I read on here about what you will be doing on that board. That is a huge honor and you should be very proud of yourself. I am of you. You will be great on it!

Did they say Jeanne how a cyst can form a tail? I have never heard of this. Just curious.
But, I guess if it is only 1 or 2% of the population that get it, it is considered rare. Sorry you were in that percentage.

Jeanne, so glad to see you posting. So sorry about your scare with the CAT scan. I would have been terrified. So, benadryl did the trick? That stuff puts me to sleep. Just glad you are thru that now.
I will continue to send you my prayers for the cysts. Praying for no more cancer!

Of course, sweet Jeanne, you are still in my prayers. Complex cysts do need to be evaluated carefully. But my understanding is that if they collapse then all is good. And even if they have to go in and take them out it could be something other than cancer. At least I hope so. Never heard of a tail. Are you sure it isn't a really large sperm that lost it's way. They have tails. Or maybe one of Tasha's missing guppies. Are you the one responsible for the giant dog eating guppy. Better confess.
Seriously, I know how worried you are and we are here for you. Everyone hates the wait and you have been having an unusually long one. With several side trips. So, sincerely my prayers are that at the end of all of this, is a tall, dark or short, blonde, or middling red haired or any combination of the above gentleman named NED who will extend his hand and as you put your hand in his, he will lead you to the floor. You will be in a long, swirling, beautiful gown and you will be wearing your gorgeous expensive shoes. He will be in white tie and tails with a top hat. The music will gently begin. He will hold you close and just as The Tennessee Waltz begins, it switches to, yes, you guessed it, "Stayin' Alive" and you are now wearing disco attire. Okay, just a thought.
Love ya gal and wishing for the very, very best in test results,

Oh, Jeanne, I am so glad to read your post, although you do have some "dangling" issues. Those seem to be such a long shot for anything serious, but I will keep you in my prayers anyway. You never know when bc hits, and then other things seem to follow. You have been through so much, with the two times bc, reaction to the CAT scan, and everything else you have managed to endure, it now time for you to catch a break. I have been anxiously awaiting your post, so am glad to know the news. Maybe I can relax a bit now. When one of us is in a situation where we are playing the "waiting game", it affects all of us, and I will assure you that everyone here is glad to have heard from you. Keep us posted on your progress, and also when the test is schedule on the "tail thingies". (Had to laugh at that.) Hugs.

Benign it is. (I'm keeping positive thoughts for you.) Benign, benign, benign.

You always say the perfect thing to me! I need you to move in with me...CMERE! lol We are praying that they will collapse when the surgeon gets the tail. Sperm? OMG! I hope not. I mean, my hubby is all MAN, but, wow, that would be a long way for it to go. lol Ok, I need to stop this now before I get banned from the site.
One of Tasha's missing guppies? EWWWWWWWW, but, that is a thought. Tasha, what do they look like dear? lol
And, your description of "The Dance" is perfecto! Stayin Aliveeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Ok, you made me laugh hysterically talking about my "dangling issues"! Thanks for that! It would be nice to catch a break. I have been fighting bc this time for almost a year now, with no breaks, and, I could really use one. I just hope that I won't have to wait too long for the results, either when he aspirates them or if he has to operate on them. I am sick of the waiting game. Ofcourse, I have been guilty of bugging them to death by calling everyday. Serves them right. lol
I will keep you posted on my "dangling issues" with my "tail thingies"</>!
( still laughing at those descriptions...thanks Judy )
How are you doing Judy? Physical therapy every week? And, how is sweet Casey? I pray much better. I am keeping both of you in my prayers!

Well, if it helps I move into all my dear sister's hearts. And that I mean with all of my heart.
I use humor a lot dealing with this and sometimes I worry after I post that I have crossed a line. So in advance, to all my sisters, I just have a little warped sense of humor but it is given with love.
I love the all man comment. But his aim ain't go good. Sure did over shot his mark. Whoops, I am liable to be banned as well.
I had been trying to think of a song that fit our dance with NED and that one seems so right. Right title and it is so spirited. Although I was not a fan of the disco era, I did love that song. So for me, Stayin' Alive is just right.

That is such a sweet loving way of putting that Stef! See, you do always know what to say! I think when I first met you on this site, I wasn't used to your humor, so, there were some: hmmmmmms, what?, OMG's and just plain HUH's? lol But, I don't think I was reading it as it should have been read, as I do now. As I have told you, I seek out your postings as they are always so inspirational, so loving, so supportive and encouraging. And, this when you are going thru a trying time yourself. You are some woman Stef! I admire you! I still pray for you and your daughter everyday!
The song is perfect, as I said. You came up with the perfect words to say again! Now, what do I need to wear? hmmmmmmm Disco ideas anyone? I can steal the mirrored ball from Dancing with the Stars ( i love that show ),but, whatever do I wear?
