Let's just say I need to go back to school

Great article, Wow, Reader's Digest, what an excellent source to get the word out Kathy

You have to vent it out, you'll fall completely apart if you don't, then you wont be any good to any one. People know the stress you are under, it's OK to say no, you can only do so much. I agree with everyone else, you have to take care of yourself before you can be of any good to others Kathy

I think cutting your hair short is a great idea. I never did shave my head, I couldn't bring myself to do it, I just let it fall out in it's own good time, which it did. I was actually lucky I had some bangs and some left on the sides so when I wore hats you wouldn't have known I was really bald. Kathy

Jorja, I do know what you are experiencing, this awful stuff took my father also It takes time, lots of time. Father's Day is hard. I know he would love to be there on your big day and he will be there, in Spirit Kathy

Another wuss, I'll watch but if I HAD to choose I'd have to take the bull Kathy

Judging by the number of responses you can see we ALL understand how you feel. We've either been there or are there, it is part of the process. You are headed down a rough but doable road in your life. You will see your little one hit her first birthday, you WILL be there. Keep a pad and pencil near you at all times so you can jot down all of the tons of questions that will be popping into your head all day long. Take that with you to every doctor appointment and be sure to jot down the answers. I can't tell you how many times I got home and forgot what the doctor said because I was so nervous it didn't sink in. Better yet, be sure someone is with you for every appointment. I won't rattle on, just know this stuff can be beat, just start reading profiles and you will feel better. Definitely get on some medication for anxiety and keep posting here, there is a ton of information and support here. And remember, statistics mean nothing, again, read profiles. God luck and keep us posted Kathy

Welcome Donna, I took Carbo/Taxol and it did get a little worse each time but it was very doable with the anti nausea medications. I had some joint pain also but it eased up. Everyone has different experiences with the various chemo drugs. The pet scan can be intimidating, it was for me but they gave me valium before they started the scan and it did relax me and I was able to get through it. If I remember correctly, it took longer than the other scans. You can look up pet scan on the Internet and it will explain it fully. Be sure to let them know ahead of time that you may need something to relax you. Good luck and keep us posted Kathy

I'm praying hard that it will turn out to be benign. I had the vats procedure that Cindi mentioned and it is much easier on the patient, if you aren't sure please ask your doctor. Kathy

Welcome, I'm sorry you have to deal with so much right now, it must feel overwhelming. I agree that finding a doctor who cares is a big step in getting things done right. Keep us posted on what is going on and we will be happy to help in whatever way we can. Kathy

More prayers for some answers on Wednesday Kathy
