[Hi, Need a Hug]

Hi guys, what is everyone a MOD here. LOL I'll be the lone member.

You know this board has already made me feel better. I am ready to fight this thing and not only survive but thrive. I figure 1) they are catching it early, my symptoms are minor and 2) if I have two years, thats a long time and I am going to enjoy every day, starting right here. I will probably have a lot of questions and a lot of chatter, but we are going to be very good friends

No Sandra I have to wait two weeks to have the scan.

[Hi, Need a Hug]

You guys know if I see it in print, its true so I shy away from talking about it.

I went into the md about 2 weeks ago as I was bleeding. I am 65 so bleeding is very serious and I was told if your bleeding its cancer. Well it wasn't cancer, it was asprin and a UTI but since they were ruling out Ovarian Cancer I had a CT Scan.

The CT scan showed only that I have gall stones, but I knew that, but then the next day the Doc calls back, they found lesions or something on my right lobe and scheduled me for a Lung CT scan on the 16th. Why am I so sure this is lung cancer. 1) what else could it be 2) History of 30 years of smoking even though I quit in the 1980s its still 30 years of smoking and I do have a "morning cough" and SOB so I'm not symptom free.

If I survive the next 2 weeks waiting for this darn test, Ill be surprized. I can't sleep, I wake in the middle of the night shaking and crying. I can't even get any support from the family because my husband poo-poos it, and I don't want to worry the kids until I have to so its me and you kids

This is certainly the last place that I want to be, but its great knowing there is some place to come for support.

I am still in the denial stage, but my heart knows that I have to start the fight soon.

I am hoping that this board offers some fun also. Most support boards are so depressing and difficult to visit.
