So....talk about.....CANCER SUPPORT THREAD !!

[3goodeggs]

I was in your seat last spring. I know you are anxious. But try to keep your mind on other things, If it is something, they will call you quickly. No news is still good news, so try and relax. (easier said than done, I know)

I had a standard gyn test. I had an appointment a week from then with my OB and she said she would have the results by then. Well next day i get a call because they thought they found something. Never have gotten a call on results since with OB. Not ever. If i am feeling like a worry wort I call. Same kinda story with primary care. If they get something bad they are pretty dang quick to ruin your day. If its good news they take their time easing your stress level.

Isn't that the truth!! This last time when they did the biopsy, my doc told me to call the office and they would give me the results. Well, he wasn't in and the receptionist was going bonkers about trying to find someone to give me the results. I tried to explain to her that the doc told me to call and that they could do it. She was hysterical that she couldn't give me bad news over the phone. "So does that mean the cancer is back?" "I didn't say that!!!" on and on and on!!! Sheesh!!! find someone who can tell me before you go home for the weekend! She finally got the doc "on call" to call me.

Didn't make it to the Dog Park, too drizzly and cold. I can't wait until spring!! Maybe tomorrow. Right now the Katester is playing with her formely stuffed bone (she pulled all the stuffing out of nearly every toy she has, thankfully she doesn't try to eat it when she pulls it out, polyester stuffing isn't good for critters!) I don't know if it's something from when she was at the shelter or not but she sucks on the corner of the stuff as she falls asleep. It's tooo cute.

I've got an appointment tomorrow with a neurologist, I'll let ya'll know.

Ya'll keep your heads ups, We will win this battle!

We got some more snow last night and while I was out digging a path to the chicken coop, I got a message to call the gyno back - they want to discuss my pap smear. It came back abnormal, and high grade

They faxed the info over to my surgeon, most likely I'll have the colposcopy done with a biopsy to see what's going on. Funny, I was just at the surgeon's last week and when he examined me he said he saw no signs of tumor and check back at 3 months......just finished seeing the oncologist for a check up too. Everything seemed fine and now this.

It was around the same time last year that I got the call with the bad news from the gyno......it was a Thursday too and lots of snow on the ground.

Now I have the jitters.......it's like a freaky repeat with the emotions and everything. Oh well

Well, crap, Luna!

Don't get over anxious! Friend of mine who had colon cancer ALWAYS gets abnormal pap results. Every dang time she has one it's that way.

I know what you are feeling. First time I cried, ONCE! Then I got angry, how dare this thing called cancer try to take me like it did other of my family. Wasn't going to happen! Chemo knocked me down, but I kept getting back up. They took both of my boobs, heck of a way to get a new boob job. But it didn't get the rest of me.

I admit it, when it came back, it knocked the wind out of me. I didn't know if I had enough left in me to fight again.

But, here I am! Still fighting, still causing havoc, still loving life. If this is the case with you, we'll be here to fight with you, just like ya'll have been for me.

But it's not going to be that way. This is a false positive. You've beat it arse the first time!!

, hang tough. Waiting for news is nerve racking. If there's been pelvic radiation all paps eventually come back abnormal due to the changes in the radiation field. I've had several types of biopsies after the fact, including punch. PM if you ever need to. Hoping the best for you.

I think you all are very special people. I like your personalities and your positive attitudes. I joined this thread last year to offer encouragement, and now I feel as if I have friends. We worry and pray and offer up all the support that we can, but over the cyberwaves a

just doesn't seem to be able to cut it.
I wish I could somehow do something to let all of you know that you really are thought of throughout the day. I am pulling for all of you.

My son and I were talking about how yesterday felt like the movie 'Ground hog's day' with Bill Murray.
Luna, you had a ground hog's day.
It seems that you and coyote are not getting a break. Who do I talk to about this. I may sound like a seven year old, but I can be a very stern sounding seven year old.

Luna , yes waiting for test results drive you up the wall. Hope you get good results.


You ladies keep fighting.......I can't wait till spring , sick of all this cold and snow.

For those of you who have been following along Robin, aka PumpkinPup, lost her mother to the fight on Wednesday evening. She faught long and hard with Robin beside her all the way. Please keep the family in your thoughts and prayers.

Thank ya'll for your kind thoughts and prayers. I'm gonna be just fine. My husband tells me I'm too mean to die. I just have too much stuff to do. My GodDaughter graduates on Monday a full semester ahead of schedule. She had fallen behind a semester when her grandmother passed but she caught that up and more!!! She will be entering the community colleg here next week!!!

Next Tuesday is my Katie's 1st Birthday!! I've got to find her a special toy that she can't pull the stuffing out in less than 5minutes!

Keep the faith ya'll
