Fay A. Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 PET scan shows a new foci of increased uptake in the lower mediastinum suspicious for tumor. I don't know if he means the lower paratrachea, the subcarina, or some other spot, but hopefully someone will return my calls of today sometime tomorrow and let me know so that I can start looking at the options for this latest little character building episode. The PKD is a complicating factor, because the liver and kidneys are now huge. Well, no one ever said Lung Cancer was for sissies. The news stinks, but the not knowing stinks worse. And even though it stinks the news could have been worse. So it's Pity Party tonight, and tomorrow RE-ENGAGE the enemy.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fay A. Posted January 21, 2004 Author Share Posted January 21, 2004 Thanks, Sandy and MO. But you know, I was so happy to be rid of ED last May after the surgery. You guys remember ED [evidence of disease]? He's NED's Evil Twin. And isn't it just like a Cad like ED to keep showing up where he isn't wanted? Oh well.....I'm just going to have to find some way to get this Bad Boy out of my life for good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Cheryl- Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 Fay, Can they do radiation? It sure fried my two lmph nodes in the mediastinal area. You put on the fighting gloves girl. We are here to fight with you! Cheryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowflake Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 Damn, Fay! I think ED is a Springer guest...unwanted, unruly, and just plain UGLY! Hope the Pollies leave you alone, too. Too much crap going on in your body! Just when you start to get hair....maybe if you shave your head it will all go away... Take care...pity party is fine, but do I have to BUY something to attend?? Love ya, girl! Hang in there. Becky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiny Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 Fay- You're entitled to the small Pity Party...would love to be close enough to harrass you. Then up and at 'em in your usual style. You are gutsy and courageous...saying extra prayers for you. The waiting is the absolute WORST. Now you know (more or less) and will be posting a battle plan soonest.

Marie Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 Hi Fay, you're right, lung cancer isn't for sissies. Fight on, and on, and on. Go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z_Pacific Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 Hi Fay, It’s OK to have a Pity Party as long as it purges the negative and renews your spirit and will to fight. In the short time I have been reading messages here I am amazed at the courage and compassion everyone expresses for each other. Regardless of what each one of us is going through we share a common enemy and an uncommon love for each other. The mind produces some powerful medicine and our faith in God and each other keeps us going one day at a time. I will say a prayer for you for I know a loving God is watching over us and listens to those who are in need. God Bless, Howard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karen335 Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 Fay, You are a "Survivor" and very strong lady. You have endured so much and gotten through all of the bad times so valiantly. I admire your strength, trudge forward as the marines would say (not sure if that was your part of the military) and don't give up. Like that is what you would do, cold day in He** for that. We are here for you. Just remember you are in all of our hearts and daily prayers... Blessings and lots of Hugs Karen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
