Judy-OK Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Well BEAR POOEY!!!! I will start radiation on the spot on my T2 thoracic area spine in the next week or so and will also begin receiving a monthly injection of Zometa. There are a few more smaller spots in the lumbar area and we will be doing more frequent PET scans to keep a watch on them. Thanks folks.

JB Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Sorry to hear this Judy. Praying the radiation takes care of everything for you. Don't sweat the Zometa, Col's been doing that for a while and it's no big deal. Keep us posted and know that you are in our prayers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muriel Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 I'm sorry, Judy. At least you know what it is and something will be done about it. Muriel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasey Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Judy, your BEAR POOEY is not exactly what entered my mind as I read your post. I certainly am sorry to hear you're climbing back into the saddle for another ride . Glad the 'spot' will be taken care of AND glad to hear of additonal PETS to make sure all else remians under close watch. Those on this LC ride certainly get more than our money's worth at times, huh? You know we'll all be hoping for the best for you and I'll be sure to keep you in our prayers as well. Good luck with the radiation. Sorry it has to be. Kasey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shineladysue Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Wishing you the very best with your treatments. So sorry you have to have them.. Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nancy B Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Judy, so sorry you have to do this again. My sclc has gone to the bones in my pelvic area and I am on Taxol for 4 months and a monthly infusion of Zometa (to strengthen my bones). My insurance company will not approve a PET for sclc, only nsclc so I guess my husband and I will pay for it. My docs have not said anything about radiation yet, just the chemo. I am praying that the radiation will work for you. Take care, Nancy B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fillise Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Judy--Here's hoping the radiation and the Zometa get those nasty mets. It's not too bad, from what I hear. My mom's were gone pretty quickly. Hope the same is true for you. Susan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelley (MLC) Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Judy, wishing you the best with your new treatment. So sorry you have to go through it though. Shelley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leela Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 I'm sorry you have to have treatment again. My mom had radiation to her sternum and it was better pretty quickly. She also gets Zometa infusions monthly - side effects for her is a general achyness (is that a word?) Hope all goes well. You're in my prayers.
