    Thank you Ned for your beautiful story and congrats on your 1 yr survival ship with many mnay more to follow...the orchid is beautiful...went well with your post :wink:

    I am so happy you are at peace...reminds me of the morning I had surgery...I was pertified of course...until I got in the operating room...then all of a sudden it was like a cloud lifted over me and I was suddenly at peace I mean real peace...I guess I figured...'the jigg was up' and there was nothing I could do about it now...

    I looked up to the heaven's and said..."Dear God..please guide the surgeons hands and bring me back to my good health...BUT what ever your plan is for me...I am ready."...and here I am 12 day's short of 3 yrs out of surgery and am able to sit here and write about it...but I will alway's remember that day for the rest of my life....PRAISE GOD!!!

    Any way Ned..thanks for sharing your story...it was truly beautiful...hugs...Nonni

    Thanks for your reply's...I really appreciate all the answers and support that you can give me...

    I understand that some times lymph nodes don't go back to normal size after treatment...BUT..I never had any treatments...I was 1A...with no other involvement....

    I am trying not to worry about it...but you all know it is easier said then done...I'm trying to put in my head...I'll deal with it if I have to...I will get the Pet as soon as possible...gotta know one way or the other...

    It's been a rough nite after the doctor's phone call...driving my husband 'beeswax'....so I'm going to take a sleeping pill and try to sleep...Good luck Pam.. :roll:

    hugs to all ..still praying for the cure..God Bless

    Oh God...the Doctor just called me...the results are in from my Ct/scan and MRI....Please tell me what this means....

    He told me the Ct/scan is showing that there is a

    "possible' lymph node enlargemant in the middle of my chest and wants to follow up with a Pet Test...

    I am petrified...does an enlarged lymph node always have to be maliganant or are some benign....Please give me heads up on what your think...and did anyone have an enlarged lymph node that wasn't C....

    As far and my ribs..he said something about a narrowing in my something or other that may be pinching but I wasn't even paying attention to that...

    And another thing...in the past 8 weeks..I have had a chest exray...2 MRI's...a ct/scan and now a Pet test...don't you think that all that radiation can be harmful to...or do we have to do what we have to do...thanks to all..I would appreciate what you all think...I am a nervous wreck and just hit the zanax bottle....hugs..Nonni

    Hi John...

    I am so happy you posted back to me...I felt like I was a little to 'brunt' in my post and I am sorry if I were...I think 'C' has all of us on edge at one time or another...and this must have been one of my times :cry: ...

    And your right...we are all in this together wheter it be young or old...Just hope we can hang in there till the Big C comes...and that meaning the BIG CURE

    Thanks John...and glad your not "sleeping around' any more :lol:

    Blessed Be...Nonni

    Two Dogs...

    I'm sorry if I have upset you...my remarks where not meant for anyone intentionally...but it does't change the fact....I sympatize with you to have cancer close by in your family...Cancer is brutal!!!

    Now talking about kid's is a different story....I donate money to St Jude's Hospital every single month....and I will continue to do so....This is not to say that I don't care about adults having cancer..

    Of course I do....I just will NOT donate to no cancer research other than LC...until they can show me that it is evenly distributed

    Every one has a right to their own feeling's and that is mine...No pun intended...So please don't put words in my mouth and make it look like I don't care just because I want to donate to LC only...I DO CARE!!!! but I will put my money where it is needed the most....and you can do what you want with yours..

    God Bless Us All...Nonni

    Ct...was with contrast the MRI's were not...

    TW0...NOT...ONE BUT TWO MRI's today AND a ct/scan....You think I 'ain't nut's today'....must be the radiation..I'm glowing in the freaking dark here.First MRI..not bad..only 20 minutes...2nd one longer....CLING..CLANG...BING...BANG...geeezzzz...I was thinking if I ever get out of this one alive..I'll never get in another one....Hate 'dem' damn things...really...Ct/scan not bad...only took about 5 minutes.

    I got a question thou....I had the Ct/scan this morning and then had to go back this afternoon for the MRI's....my question is...why would I have to take the MRI'..when I did the Ct/scan....Don't they basically show the same thing...who know's...good thing I got you guys here.your all a God send..I;m really an illiterate when it comes to this....maybe because I don't want to know...

    Thanks kids...let ya know when I know....probably thursday...

    Thanks Connie....now this kind of pi$$es me off...scuse my language....I thought that would be the #1 question.....The other cancer's are being well taken care of with funding...but sorry to say...they will never get another nickel from me...I'm sorry but that is the way I feel...Of course I want the other cancer's being taken care of and it's wonderful that they are...BUT WHAT ABOUT US...shouldn't we be in there with the rest of the pack...grrrrrrrrrrrrrr

    Lance did make the remark...'why isn't the #1 cancer killer in the US on the front page like other tradgedy's are...but I never heard the answer...

    I tell you one thing...if the question was brought up and I liked the answer..that's who I would have voted for wheter be it Dem or Reb...I alway's vote the man..or lady now...and not the party...JMO

    hugs to all...nonni

    Hi you'all :)

    I watched the Lance Armstrong forum this morning...I watched it for about an hour and had to run..but I did get to see Hilary Clinton...I thought the questions were good and I liked her answer's..

    But I never heard the question "WHY IS LC FUNDED SO LOW IN COMPARISON TO OTHER C'S???...

    I may have missed it...It might have been brought up later in the program...Did anyone hear it??? That was what I was most interested in and to hear what the 'candidates' had to say about it...

    I will watch it again tomorrow....They had a small clip on the 6 o'clock news and I saw Lance Armstrong saying..."Why wouldn't the #1 killer be on the front page every day like the other tragedy's in the world"?...YOU GO LANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Ok guys...talk at ya later...God Bless...Nonni

    Hi Peachy...

    I love your picture too...:wink: ...from reading all of the posts..I think you have gotten some good advice from the people that know...

    I'm sorry I don't have any for you...but you will surely be in my prayers that you make the right decision...

    As far as family and friend's...I hear you...because when I was dx ..I didn't want anyone to know either...there is really nothing they can do and I didn't want anyone feeling sorry for me...I didn't want the look..."poor Pam"....no way....BUT if for any reason I needed them..I would not have hesitated to call on them....I come from a big Italian family and to keep a secret from them would be a miracle...

    So the word was out immediately....Thankfully I came thru surgery wonderful and God Bless my husband and son...they were the one's that took the 'brunt'...:wink:

    as I was recovering...

    So I know what you are saying...but as far as treatment's only you can make the decision ...many here have went thru basically the same and are doing well...that alone would tell me something...you look to be a PRETTY and intelligent woman to make a wise decision

    That being said...I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers and pray for the best..GOD BLESS YOU...hugs...Nonn

    Need some info....pul..ese!!!

    I just posted and lost it so if you get this twice...sowwry....

    Ok..remember I told you guys a couple days ago that I had a good report from my chest exray.... Thank God for THAT...Well I have been having rib pain and it got to be annoying and you know how that goes...back to the GP...Well after doing an extensive exam...he 'thinks' it is some kind of nerve inflamation but wants to do 2 MRI's to make sure and since my Ct/scan is due soon he wants me to do that now too...and get them both over with at the same time...

    My question is...Doesn't a chest exray include 'ribs'...wouldn't something have showed on that...???....grrrr...this is so damn frustrating...

    So again I ask for your prayers..and I know I could count on you guys....prayers are more powerful than "med's...that's for sure...

    Connie ...Kasey...I am being brave..gulp!!!!

    Hugs and prayers for everyone until be can beat this thing once and for all....luv...Nonni

    Do you take a STATIN?

    in GENERAL

    Posted

    Yes ...Donna...I had been taken 'statin's' 5 years before I was dx...and I am still on them...but hopefully they will find this is true...could be a big help...specially if you have to take them anyway...hugs to everyone...Nonni
