Good News & Bad News. Good News first. My colonscopy today went well. No polyps! YES!

The bad news.

I met with my Oncologist this afternoon. He said that there are 3 new spots on the CT SCAN which show great concern. He said because they are in 3 different areas - it probably is not good. There will be a PET Scan this Thursday. I will then meet back with the oncologist on Monday. He said he will probably order a tissue sample from the Radiologist of the Pancreas. He said he hopes he is wrong. Me too.

    Hi Lizzy

    3 different areas, Lizzy? Obviously, one is in the area of the pancreas? Can you say where the other 2 are? Ok, if you don't, of course.

    I'm sending best wishes that any of this is not pancreas related...that concerns me greatly.

    Texas bear hug for now...but I'll be thinking alot about you while you wait to get the news.

    THANKS!
    Thanks to you all. You are like family to me. I appreciate your posts so much. This is tuff to take. Your comments help so much.

    --- The oncologist said he would not be able to get it all if he tried to operate. Another area is near the back. I cannot remember where he said the other location is. The PET on Thursday will reveal if there are more areas. The tissue sample will tell the exact cancer. He said he was sorry and gave me a hug. My hubby is a basket case. I keep trying to tell him to be strong. We need to enjoy each day.

    I am bringing out the Juicer - do you hear that Juice Chick Emily.

    I appreciate you all!

    Don't give up hope. Glad you had some good news in there. There are situations where they can slow down any growth of the cancer. That gives technology a chance to catch up to us if you know what I mean. I know it's not the news you wanted to hear from your doctor, I'd be less than happy to say the least.
    But you CAN get through this...

    We are calming down some today. Although I do feel this is the time to make some preparations. It doesn't hurt even if I do not need them as soon as I think. It gives me a good feeling to know that I can make these decisions early.

    I truly appreciate your support and kind words!
