Now that I know I have CANCER and have surgery scheduled next week, I feel like I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop. Had my MRI and bone scan done Mon, Tues. I just can't stop the thoughts that they will show something far worse than what we expect.
Please send positive thoughts!

Oh mirbelle: I know what you are going through. I think the day I had my bone, abdominal and chest scans was the very worst for me so far. I walked outside between appointments and just cried and cried, it really hit me how cancer could kill me! Very scary. But scans came back all okay and that was such a relief. Try and take a deep breath and stay busy. I'm sending positive vibes your way! And even if the MRI thows something up (which they sometimes do), I'm sure you and your doctors will figure out the very best way to handle it. Take care. Diagnosis: 9/14/2009, IDC, 2cm |

I've decided they do all those tests and scare us so we will be glad to learn we "only" have cancer of the breast. :) Seriously, it was the most terrifying part of the process for me. And the waiting for results is horrible. The unknown is always worse than the facts. I'm sorry you are having to go through this rite of initiation. And hope everything comes back negative. Don't let them drag out telling you the results ... arrange your appointment ASAP. Sending along positive thoughts for negative results!

Oh so true Pam! After the results of the body scans, I felt so happy to have stepped back from the brink. Then they did an MRI and I was at another cliff - what if both breasts are loaded with cancer? Then I felt so happy to step back from that, and "only" deal with one cancerous breast...geez.

I am through chemo, surgery and rads. Had a cat scan last week, a bone scan tomorrow, then my oncologist appointment on Thursday. I am so scared I'm almost out of my mind. I just had scans on Sept 7th....doc said they were "unremarkable" but 6 weeks later here I am having them again. He is pretty straight forward and truly didn't seem that concerned after the last scans so I'm thinking that's a good sign. He did say if these scans are ok he is turning me loose for 4 months w/o seeing him. I'm so stressed out over my appointment about the scan results. What if it's back....omg. I need to calm down.
