    Paulding...I have no words to express my feelings.

    I do understand your anxiety believe me I do. We all do. but sometimes scans play tricks and it turns out to be nothing.

    Yes Its nothing until you have been told otherwise.

    You have been there for me from day one. I would do anything to ease your mind. Just ask.

    Im up late if you need to write.

    (((Hugs Hugs and Hugs)))

    PM, we will pray that it is something benign.  I had some scans done in February.  they found lesions on my liver as well as on my left lung.  They are only concerned with the lung ones, So just because they found something, doesn't mean it is something.  The difference is that my CTs were monitored by my onc, who is used to "the beast" and can fairly comfortably rule it out.  I head in the day after tomorrow for a follow up CT on the lung.  Hopefully they will find no change and may rule it as Coccidioidomycosis scars.  Although I have never tested possitive for it.  My GP also said that asthma can scar lungs much like hmmm was it smoking, or lung cancer???  I guess I should have listened better. 

    Anyway, I am not trying to put down your concern, but you should feel much better when your Oncologist gets to see the report and scans. I know that thenot knowing anything is the worst.

    I'm on the outer edge of the 40-60ish group (I'm 58 1/2), but wanted to stop by. Your thread looks like fun.

    The main reason for my landing is to send my very best wishes & prayers to you, paulding, in this horrible time of waiting. I will be thinking of you.

    Thank you so much everyone. I've got an extensive prayer group so that has got to count for something, right.  Meece, sounds like you have gone through this before. I'm holding on to your great advise with both hands.  I've got to find a way to stay calm until I can talk to my onc. and see what he says. I'm thinking that maybe the surgeon and GP are a little anxious. Emotional roller coaster right now. 

    Thanks again everyone,

    Pink Hugs, Lisa

    PM, my GP errs on the side of caution every time.  When I first showed her my lump, I left her office that day with appointments for Mammo, Ultrasound, and a Surgeon.  Last week I left her office with an appointment to see a surgeon the following day.  My GP knows me as her patient for nearly 20 years.  I think that may be why they jump when something is going on with us.  They know that they are the first person of responsibility for issues we bring to them.

    PM, still thinking of you today and knowing how when you first woke up this morning, your world was okay, and then it tilted as the adrenaline rushed in to remind you of your current fright! Use the energy to clean or sort or purge or something! The "fight or flight" instinct has gotta be good for something. (Problem with me is flight!!)

    P-Mom, we will have to synchronize our watches and send an enormous "going to be o.k." vibe out to you at 3:00 (Eastern time) today. 

    Welcome several new Middies, and Valjean I already know from a few other threads.  I guess Meece or Seyla must have given you the password we use here:

                            discuss cheetos Pictures, Images and Photos

    At this point, it's hardly a secret password.   More like common knowledge.

    PMom, just adding my hugs and prayers to those of the group.  Today is my 5-year anniversary so I'll send you special vibes for a cancer-free month for you, okay?  Hugs all around, and for the record, I still think Sunday night was one of the best parties I've ever attended, real or not!!!
