Cancer Support and Caregivers Who Are Trail Blazers!

Tommi,

Thank you for sharing. I was so moved by what you wrote, for many reasons.

We DO move on.. No matter what life throws our way. We have to. I try to remember and live that that every day but every once in a while I need that swift kick in the rear. I thank you for that reminder.

I am so happy for the love that has come into your life. I love that you got tattoos together to mark this time in your journey. Your post leaves me with a smile. Not because of your recurrence but because of your love for life. It's a beautiful thing.

So I guess I should give an update but it really isn't one.
I have been so beside myself over this I didn't even know what to post.
I am being seen in a clinic that helps people who don't have medical currently. For now atleast.
The did the chest xray for the lung nodules..for the second time.
And when I called for results, was told my lungs are perfect.
I didn't understand why they would say that considering I have emphysima and nodules.
Well come to find out, the tech wasn't informed apparently what she was looking for. And assumed it was for something else.
4 weeks I waited to hear I have to wait more..wow was I ticked.

Long story short, I am working on getting it fixed or I will have to pay the old doc to read them and compare xrays.
I am much less upset now so again, I am working on finding out this run of tests results.
Will let you know when I do.

Lady Pamela,

Sorry the whole thing is such a mess. That is horrible for a person to go through. I would suggest doing what you can to get the original doctor to compare the x-rays. If not, make sure who ever reads them has the old x-rays for comparison.

Take care.

Thank you so much for this post Pynk.

Tomorrow at 9AM will be the last Brachtherapy treatment. My girl is on a business trip across the country, my BFF's are vacationing in Paris, so, I knew I could come here, because the Planet is a place we can share.

The support from those I told about this has been wonderful. The smile kaijira gives me has taken it all away, and believe it or not, I looked forward to the appointments everyday. I knew iI had to do it, and just get it over with. So, we planned something for every weekend since August to be together and make sure I got that big smile, and we enjoyed the heck outta life.

We did, we are, and , next weekend we will celebrate radiation therapy being OVER. Camping in Malibu at a Shamain ritual... ( My first and which she is doing part of the ceremony) ..so, a new chapter , hell no.

This is a whole new book. So, guess I will have to start writing again

Wow, Tommi, I had no idea you were going through all of that. I made the assumption when you didn't come back to the thread that things were clear. I should have asked. I tend to "hide out"/slink away/whatever fits here, too when I get bad news, so I should have thought about that and asked! Sorry, brother.

I didn't tell hardly anyone I had cancer prior to my colon resection. I had a whole week and only told my best friend and the people who had to know at my work.

I am very, very glad that you shared with us now. It is fantastic that you had a new love by your side through all of this. I know it would have been much harder for me if I didn't have my partner.

It sounds like you went through a lot. I am so glad you are on the other side.

Please take good care of you!

I tend to hole up and slink away myself. Today (in an hour) I have a bone marrow biopsy. I had only told a few. Scared.

Geez Deb, This is the first time I've been on the thread for a wk. or two. I had no idea you were going thru this. Can I send love and support retroactively? Big hugs to you!!!!

Hi, Debbie. You haven't circled back around to the thread. I just wanted to check in and tell you I hope you are ok. Happy Holidays to you and yours.

[deb_U_taunt]

Wow Tommi, so glad to hear you have so much love and support during this bump in the road. Hope you are getting your strength back quickly.
HUGS
