sharyn Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 Frank... I am sorry to hear this latest update, but more shocked that you never mentioned you weren't feeling good!!! Is that a male thing or WHAT???? Seriously, I am praying for you. As far as the CT not showing "inside" when Daddy had his esophogus cancer diagnosed, it did not show in the ct... only showed once they scoped him - which seems kindof unreal, but that is what happened. Listen my friend, you are such an inspiration to us all, you need to muster up your strength and kick some butt... ya hear me!!! Lots of good thoughts heading your way. Love, Sharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SandyS Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 Okay Mr. Smarty Pants - STOP looking for jokes for US and tell us what's going on with YOU for Christ sake! Sorry to hear about the new trouble, but I don't doubt for a minute it's anything you can't handle! Hugs and prayers, SandyS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fay A. Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 I am so sorry, Frank. I'm grateful that your docs took the time to look for something and found it early and are making plans to rid you of it. I'm just so frustrated....I'm told that the tests they do are so sensitive that they can diagnose many diseases and recurrent or metastatic cancers at extremely early stages....and if that's the case WHY is this (apparently) true for all diseases/cancers EXCEPT LUNG CANCER? Thank goodness that your docs listened to what you were saying. Prayer is coming your way for healing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nushka Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 Frank, I can't believe this is happening to you. There have been way too many "clean" scans and then weeks later bad news. Please keep us posted...we all love you you know. Now for a little advise. If the machine is at another hospital and they are lending it to yours...do your docs have a lot of experience with it? If not, go to the other hospital for this procedure. Experience is important when dealing with these things. That said, you are in my prayers and will continue to be. I wish you only the best of news from now on. Got to get you well so that your jokes don't quit appearing. Keep up the good fight and LET US KNOW! How can we pray for something to be ok that we don't even know about? I am sure HE knows but it would be nice if we did. I think alot of you Frank. Get well soon ok?

MelanieLR Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 Hi Frank, Hope you're on the mend soon. I have to wonder if I may have something similar going on. I have this odd whistle that goes on in my throat all night long. As soon as I lay down, it starts & doesn't stop till I get out of bed. It makes breathing a little more difficult but most of all - how in the devil do you sleep when you're serenading yourself all night long? In the beginning they said it was from the cancer but that with the reductions I've had, it should have gone away or at least subsided. All I have to say is thank God my husband has another bedroom he can go to for a little sleep. I really am quite musical. God Bless & good luck with your dilemma, Melanie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daggiesmom Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 You're the best. Please feel better soon. I'm counting on that. We NEED YOU HERE. No gettin' sick aloud!!!!!! Please feel better soon, ok? Love, Joanie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindseysmom Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 Frank, My thoughts and prayers are with you. I know why you didn't let anyone know that this was going on is because you didn't want to worry anyone needlessly. But remember everyone is here for you just like you are for them. You are one of rocks of this board. You always have something positive to say. I wonder why in the world these doctors continue to give us these test if they are not sufficient. Guess it's a money thing with the insurance companies. Would a MRI should anything? Best Wishes, Dee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
