Fay A. Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 I had to have another MRI, and the Meningioma appears to be the same as it was in July....but the report states that there is now a tumor in the apex of my right lung... This is most upsetting because I do not have a right lung. So I'm left to wonder if I have a tumor in the apex of what would be my right lung if I had one, or if it is a mass on the left lung and the reader just can't tell her left from her right. My Onc is trying to find out what is what, but she couldn't get through to anyone while I was in her office this morning. a PCC line goes in next week, chemo starts the one after that: Taxol and Gemcitabene. I'll be bald by New Years...so New Year's Eve my head is being decked out to look like a Martini Olive with Pimento. Onward! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimblanchard Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Fay, I hope you have answers soon. We'll be praying for you. You have an incredible attitude. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving! Tammy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cindi o'h Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Hi Fay.. I have had reports dictate regarding things where such and such lobe used to be... (I have both lungs completely).. I don't know how this happens. Turn the film around! Man! Onward is right...what else is there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connie B Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Oh Good Lord! What the?????? Maybe they need to hand the reader his glasses??? I sure hope THIS gets top notch attention! After Onward, usually comes Upward, and I'm thinking we don't want to go there just yet either! So, get in, sit down, buckle up for the ride, ONCE AGAIN!! ((((((((((((((FAYA))))))))))))) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ry Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 We'll need a picture uploaded of the olive head. I hope the chemo does the trick. Hang in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.C. Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 Fay, Are they sure it is your results or could be somebody else. Prayers will be there, they always are but I'll try harder. I love big ripe pitted olives and I put a clove of garlic right in. Sure to keep everybody away. xoxox J.C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kasey Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 Oh (((Fay))), If it CAN go wrong, it WILL, right? I am sorry that once again you have CRAP to deal with. Hope this all gets resolved ASAP and it comes out as good news! Thinking of you and upset with you! Love, Kasey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathy Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 Fay, It seems like you rarely get a straight answer with your medical care..I mean really, how do they identify a tumor on a lung that doesnt exist , cant wait for their explanation..Thinking of you always and hoping for the best...

Patkid Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 Oh geez, what else???????? I think the test was read by the same twit that was rude to Brian because he needed additional appointments to deal w/ his non`existant nutraphils. She kept making sighing and clucking noises while she pecked at her keyboard. She commented that Brian should know that Wed. is right before a holiday and that they are booked solid. Fer Cryen outloud...................does she think we're freakin' thrilled? How do some folks keep their jobs???? Fay, you've dealt w/ more than your fair share of twits. Here's to clear answers and a good plan. Love Brat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Wood Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 Fay, we'll be twins by New Year's Eve! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shineladysue Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 You would think with the cost of scans, not to mention the cost added for reading them that we would get detailed and highly accurate results. I get so upset when I see this kind of thing happen over and over again.. We wait for the information , only to get an inconclusive or an erroneous report. Hope they get to the bottom of it soon. Who knows, like Jackie says, are you sure it's your report? Okay, I guess I vented a little on that one, but it's so upsetting to me. Keeping you in my prayers Fay and hoping you get a good explanation soon. Love, Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leslie221 Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 Fay, Sales of Martini's will sky-rocket this New Years and only WE will know why! You'll be a walking, talking subliminal message. Hope they find out what they really saw and tell you soon. If the chef burns your steak, you get to send it back and they even give you a free desert. But, I guess screwing up you CT scan reading is okay. Jeesh! Hope Thanksgiving Holiday offers some moments of tastiness, laughter, and warm looks shared with loved ones.

Fay A. Posted November 23, 2005 Author Share Posted November 23, 2005 I'm actually putting together a letter for the Director of Imaging at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital in regards to this report. This is just not acceptable. Don, I would be honored to be your "twin" on New Year's Eve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nushka Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 Fay, It again appears that you have found a nut in the radiation dept. If they are incompetent they seem to find your charts. I am sorry you are going to have to go through all of this again. We need a pic of the olive head and one of Don without his hat. Then put them side by side and see what gives. My guess is cute twins. Nina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ann Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 Fay, do you ever get the feeling that these things just find their way to you? I think these people know how intelligent you are and do these little things as a test...just to see if you're on your toes! Hope you get some straight answers and when you do, please share them with us. Also, praying that the treatment goes well for you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SDianneB Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 Truly, Fay, they are supposed to have left and right markers on x-rays, but seems that even I could tell the difference since your heart is in your chest, and we know where that belongs. Sheesh. The image of your olive is just too much. You must post a picture!! You hang in there now, ya hear? You're one of the new blessings in my life that I'm thankful for this year, and I want life to be better and better for you. Di Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geri Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 I too wonder if they're reading your scans. Remember that bald is beautiful and a lot less work than hair! Hoping for a quick and accurate re-reading. Geri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamasbabygirl Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 Just one more reason that we are all here, to keep ourselves educated so that we know what is and what's not. Scary, isn't it? Hang in there!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maryanne Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 This is getting old already. They better get their sh-t together. Enough is enough. They must think you are SuperWomen. Even though I must say you are. You are one tough cookie. You give them hell... they can't mess with you!! Maybe the had the xrays backwards. Let us know what the result really are.

gail p-m Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 Oh Fay Not again -- is it medical incompetence happening?? I know you just want to know what's going on so you can make your next battle plan and fight this darn thing. Hope you get your answers soon and wish they were good ones.
