-Cheryl- Posted August 5, 2003 Posted August 5, 2003 Hi everyone, I got such a scare this morning. My Chemo onc wanted an x-ray this morning before we met. The tech came back in and said the radiologist wanted another picture. I asked "why did they find something?" She said, "Yes, there is a new mass and it is not a shadow" I went up to meet with the chemo onc, who came beebooping in and stated,"Everything is great! Your blood work is all normal and you are tolerating the treatment well. The tumor has shrunk!!!!!!" I was crying and said, " But what about the new mass on the other side of my chest?" To which Dr. Denham replied, "What mass....I believe that is a NIPPLE!" Oh sobs of joy abounded as Jack and I hugged one another. Then we had a good belly laugh afterwards! I didn't seem to mind the Cisplat? VP16 cocktail too awfully bad for the next almost 8 hours, plus the radiation treatment today, knowing that it is working! Cheryl Quote

lenr8 Posted August 5, 2003 Posted August 5, 2003 This should go in the good news section. I always like to hear it when cancer is losing! Quote
Marie Posted August 5, 2003 Posted August 5, 2003 I'm very happy for you. Thank you for sharing your experience. Sorry you had to start with a scare. Dumb Tech doesn't realize what a simple comment can put us through. Quote
Tiny Posted August 5, 2003 Posted August 5, 2003 I couldn't be happier for you guys! Wonderful news that the tumor has shrunk and that you are hanging in there so well! I had a good chuckle over the nipple episode!. Sending positive vibes your way. Do we need a new picture of Jack's updated coif??? Quote
mday Posted August 5, 2003 Posted August 5, 2003 That x-ray tech should have never made that comment to you, especially since it was not confirmed and the x-ray had to be repeated. Anyway...your story was worth sharing with us. Quote
Andrea B. Posted August 5, 2003 Posted August 5, 2003 Cheryl, What great news!!!! I always appreciate a good laugh, so thanks for sharing. I am praying for your continued success. Quote
Karma1976 Posted August 5, 2003 Posted August 5, 2003 That is Hilarious and such good news!!! Congrats!! Quote
Terrie Posted August 5, 2003 Posted August 5, 2003 Cheryl- What a funny story - I would have been scared, too! So glad that everything came out OK and you got such GREAT news - you are in my prayers- Terrie Quote
Candy Posted August 5, 2003 Posted August 5, 2003 Though that probably wasn't funny at the time, it sure is a great chuckle now. I seemed good to read something uplifting and funny. Just goes to show you WHY its a good thing that most of the time the techs won't give you any information. Keep the good news coming! Quote
LindaMRG Posted August 10, 2003 Posted August 10, 2003 Im laughing and crying at the same time!!!!!! IM SO HAPPY TO READ ABOUT THE SHRINKAGE!!!!!! Your situation is so similar to my father's!!! When will they attempt surgery again? Quote
