wenna Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 Hi everyone, I've just completed my 6 months scans--CT scan of chest and MRI whole body bone scan-- ALL CLEAR!!! After doing the PCI, I lost my hair, of course, and was totally kicked in the rear as far as energy goes.. but I am definitely on the upswing now! I am actually getting nights where I sleep for more than 5 hrs!!!! You guys have been great! Thank you so much for being here for me. I know you can also beat this monster! Please just believe! Love, Marilyn (wenna) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Karen C. Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 Marilyn - that's awesome - your diagnoses and treatment looks just like my husband Dave's (David C - check out his profile) and seeing how well you are doing makes it all the more encouraging for us! That PCI kicked his butt big time, too, especially with energy - worse than the chemo. by the way, he's got about a 1/4 inch of hair now, and his PCI was during the month of September - to give you an idea of how long it takes your hair to recover. Keep in touch - you're doing great! Karen C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wenna Posted February 14, 2004 Author Share Posted February 14, 2004 Thank you everyone for the replies and good wishes. We did go out to our favorite Chinese Resturant. And I tell you it felt fantastic to see something other than a Dr. or lab office!! I hope to hear some good news (no matter how minor you think it is) soon; I'll be praying for all of you! wenna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kimblanchard Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 Hi Wenna, Indeed,” sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof” but you had to put up with a lot of evil days to get so far in beating the “beast”. Congratulations on your wonderfully empty scans. I think we should all squeeze in every moment of good news and celebration we can, to make up for the bad times. Now that I can eat, I pamper myself with the best stuff I can find. You fought for these good results and it is an inspiration to see that it is paying off. Happy days!

Joe B Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 Great news! Congratulations! Joe P.S. I like the verse you quote in your signature....... Another great one is the one right prior.. I have an autographed photo of Kurt Warner (QB of the St Louis Rams) - and he signed with a reference to Matthew 6:33 "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."
