Kat,
When I was first diagnosed, I had a PET scan which showed 3 hot spots in my pelvic area. One on my R. ovary and two on my uterus. My oncologist sent me to my gynocologist, who I had just seen prior to LC diagnosis about fertility treatment. A sonogram was done, and masses were confirmed to be solid, but believed benign given my history. My doctor said that if it were ovarian cancer, my lungs would have numerous tumors. The only tumor in my lung was the size of a peanut. She told me take care of your lungs and come back to see me. She discussed my sister donating eggs to me. I am afraid to pursue invitro, or even adoption at this point because of my cancer. I am optimistic about the future, but fearful none the less. I went to a baby shower today, and it made me sad to not ever be able to have children. My work involves working with kids and I really enjoy it.
Since doing chemo, my periods have ceased the last couple of months. My last pelvic scan was normal....so maybe the chemo took care of it? I don't know? Did the chemo effect your cycles? Might as well have the plumbing removed if it isn't working anymore, or not needed. I am still unsure about it though. Keep us posted on yor surgery!

Cindy,
I will say a prayer for you. Please try not to worry about those worries before they happen. You are in the medical profession, so it makes it hard not to diagnose yourself I imagine. Keep us posted! God Bless you!

Becky,
Glad to hear about the NED. I have never had gallblader problems, but two of my sisters have. THe surgery was a breeze, but one complained of shoulder pain. Apparantly the pain is caused from the air they blow you up with when they do the surgery, which settles into te shoulder. Both are eating what ever they like, not on any special diets. Hope all goes well for you!

Hi Judy,
I hope the chemo goes well for you. It is so good to see you getting out amongst the living! I imagine it is painful for you physically, but great for the moral. It is great to see you posting again, I just love your sense of humor!

Hey Folks,
Just got back from my onc. He said that the scans look good! Lots of changes due to treatment, including small plueral effusion around the right lung and my heart, but that this was normal given radiation, chemo, and surgery? He said that my lungs have been "traumatized." Sounded scarey to me though! My cough is about the same, but breathing is not compromised, Doc said it would get better on it's own. I was not given anything for it. The nodule in my left lung is still unchanged and believed to be benign. We will just continue to watch it. No chemo was necessary because there was no active cancer going on anywhere! I don't need to go back to see him untill Jan.!
Thank you for the prayers!!! God Bless you all!

Becky,
You need to stock up on zinc lozenges, vitamin c, and disinfectant hand lotion! I hate that you have a cold on top of your already difficult breathing situation. Having a 3 year old in day care, not to mention being around a bunch of colege students can reek havoc on one's immune system.
Take care and get well!
