fillise Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 I went to see sex and the City last night and had a carefree 2 and 1/2 hours. When I got out of the movie, I had a message from my brother--call right away. Those messages scare the heck out of me, but I knew what he would tell me on this one. Mom got the results of her bone scan and it shows that there are spots all up and down her spine. She also has a spot on her rib (the place where she has been sore and thought she had broken a rib). She will see her oncologist on Wednesday so they can decide on a course of action. She has been off all treatment for a little over a year, and I knew this day would come, but she had such a good report last week from her CT scan showing the primary tumor to be stable that I thought we would be ok this time. He ordered the bone scan as an aferthought-just to makse sure non of her pain was coming from cancer. I'm glad he did, otherwise she might have gone another 3 months, but she is devestated by this news. She told me this morning that she won't panic until after she talks to the oncologist. I know there are still many weapons in the arsenal, but I have to say I'm bummed right now. Susan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shineladysue Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 (((Susan))), This isn't the news any of us want to hear. Please, try to hang in there. Wait until she meets with the doctors and see what they have to say. Hopefully, they can come up with a good treatment plan. In the meantime, know that you have my prayers, as always.

Wendy Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Sorry to hear about the scan results Susan. Maybe the next treatment will be the magic bullet your mom needs to get rid of this beast. Keep us posted on how you are both doing. Wendy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SandraL Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Hi Susan. I can relate to what a total "bummer" that is. It takes awhile to rebound and get in to fighting again...but we all do...because we have to. I just hope the next plan falls into place fast. Take care Sandra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelley (MLC) Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Oh Susan...I am so sorry to read this news. I know things will seem a little better once you talk to the oncologist and have a plan in place. I'll be thinking of you, your mom and family and praying that the new treatment will take care of these mets. Shelley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be keeping you, your mom and your entire family in my thoughts and prayers. Hopefully the meeting on Wednesday will result in a treatment plan to get things back on track again.

fillise Posted June 2, 2008 Author Share Posted June 2, 2008 Thanks everyone. I talked with my mom's friend who is a retired nurse. She will be going with mom to the onc on Wed. and I have her my list of questions. She is going to call me when they are finished. I know mom will call, but she sometimes doesn't hear everything. I've also started looking to see if there are any clinical trials--and a couple look promising. So now it is just wait and see. . . . I hate that part. I appreciate all the thoughts and prayers--y'all are AWESOME! Susan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
