Patti B Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 CAT scans tomorrow - results Tuesday. As always, I am worked up to the point of making myself sick. Added to this is the fact that they will also be doing a CAT of my head since I have been having headaches. I tried to get that one moved up but since I have no other symptons, i.e., blurred or double vision, balance problems, etc. they felt like it was OK to torture me and make me wait. I am still having the pains in my lung area that I was having at the last CAT which turned out to be non-cancer related, but they are much worse. I can't tell my hubbie I am having the CAT scan - I never do until after the fact. He is an over-the-road trucker who drives one of those 75 foot long car carriers and I just feel like it is not fair to him and to everyone else on the road to have him obsessing about this (and believe me, he is worse than I am). Plus the fact that I don't want to tell him any bad news while he is driving. And the thought of telling him bad news while he is alone in a hotel room at night doesn't sound fair, either. He always gets mad at me for not telling him but I do believe that he understands why. Please, if you could spare a prayer I would truly appreciate it. Hugs to you all - Patti B.

Leela Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 (((Patti))) You know you have my prayers! I understand, but sorry you're so stressed. I know it's easy for me to say to try to relax, but please don't make yourself sick. Hopefully the headaches are just a side effect of treatment. My mom has them for several days after Alimta. Keep us posted. I will be praying for the best possible results. Hugs, Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janet B Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Patti - I will be praying for you! I totally understand about not telling your husband - I never tell my kids because I don't want to have to give them bad news over the phone. But it IS adding to your stress level which could be causing the headaches and other pains - Lots of prayers are being sent your way!

My dad has been a long haul truck driver all his life, and was only home on weekends. So I understand the stress involved for both of you. You are a very strong and courageous lady. Wishing you only the best. Teresa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
