Lisa, I too was distressed to read your post and I only hope things are going better for you today. We all have to have trust, in our doctors and in ourselves, and as many advised in their posts, please get some time to yourself, even it it's just a little walk around the block. I know it helps me tremendously when I get to "escape" from it even for just a little while.

Welcome Barb. You will meet some wonderful and smart people on this board.

Yea, I even was scared that my mammogram would show cancer again even though I've been NEC for 4 years now. Was scared to get the results of my pap smear even. All that because my hubbie has lung cancer. Before that I was a positive-type person who felt I had kicked it for good. But I agree with lovemydog when she says to take time to enjoy the moment. I've decided that worrying about possible outcomes is a waste of time and probably more harmful then helpful.

I feel like I know where you're coming from in your post. I react the same way when many people are around, some giving their advice.
But then a new day dawns and I am able to get myself together. Hopefully this new day will be a calmer one for you. Don't forget to take some time off for yourself (even a short break) - I notice that when I do I come back as a new and refreshed caretaker.

Yes Yes Yes!!!!

This is such good news. We are happy at this end also as my husband has been feeling very well since he started Iressa in June. Let's hope it keeps working for all who are on it.

Kim, I once heard someone say one of the hardest things for a woman is to lose her mother. I had a hard time with it too when I lost mine to a stroke. Then one night I turned on the radio and heard Carly Simon singing her song she wrote after she lost her own mother. The words made such sense to me that I'm sure my mom was responsible for me hearing them at that exact moment. It has been 10 years now and I still refer to the words for comfort.
"I'll wait no more for you like a daughter, that part of our life together is over,
But I will wait for you forever, like a river."
May you too gain peace and comfort with the passing of each day.

This is wonderful news. Congratulations!

I agree with what you have said Di. And this site has turned out to be not only informative, but almost like "Reality TV" in some cases. (if folks know what I mean). It's a mix of many personalities which makes it so interesting.

Way to go- needed a good chuckle this a.m.
p.s. I really like the musical afghan in your picture - I am a music teacher.

Love it Frank. I'll share story with my hubbie who's Mom was 'there'. He'll get a big kick out of it.

We are especially happy for you both. Enjoy the day

That's what we love to hear, Christy. It's true that each scan is scary to have to get. Glad for you both, and may this continue.

Hi Bev. The blood may be from irritations from coughing so hard. It happened to my hubbie when he was having hard coughing sessions.
Our onc wasn't as concerened as I was, and we did pass through that o.k. He was put on a strong cough medicine which did help.
My best to both of you!

Chantal, my hubbie is 65 and our son reacted the same way. It is how we feel right at the beginning of receiving this worrisome news. However, after some time my son came to me and told me he was going to stop wasting his time worrying about it and just go with what ever comes up. That's because we learned it's an on-going bumpy road (which some here compare to being on a roller coaster).
As for our grandchildren, they simply see that grampa has slowed up a bit, and they are learning to cope with it too.
I love how Don put it in his message. Way to go Don!
Anybody watching the lunar eclipse tonight?

Yup - just peeked at it after reading your post. It still has an hour to go before it's over - I don't think I can stay up that long.
