kimblanchard Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 Hi all. It's up the hill on the roller coaster for us this time. Hubby has a lump on his neck, who knows, PET scan moved up a week to this Friday. Could be a just a lumpy neck? Or drainage problems? He was almost to remission on the last tests in July. He finished his last round of Taxotere 9/10. Anybody else have this kind of thing happen around 8 months? What happened? Our best wishes to all. Thank you for the sharing.

Nushka Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 These darn roller coaster rides are NOT fun. I am sorry about this problem and hope that the scan shows something easy to make right. I have added you to my very long prayer list...hope it helps. Will look for your post after Friday. Nina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stand4hope Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 Hi Margaret, Sorry to hear about this new lump. I hope you can get the PET results tomorrow shortly after the test so you don't have to wait all weekend. Maybe you can push the facility to fax the results to the doctor before the end of the day. I'll be praying for a good result. Love, Peggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginnyde Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 Margaret, I so hope that this is just a 'carbuncle' or some other inocuous thing. But, if it is a tumor, I believe that the neck is one of the locations where they can get what they need for the GVAX vaccine. So we pray it is not bad news, but maybe it may be the better type of bad news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kimblanchard Posted October 1, 2004 Author Share Posted October 1, 2004 Thanking each of you. It helps so much that others understand. Strangely, I felt much better as soon as the test was over today. We have to wait until next week for results. I don't know how common this is but our PET machine is in a big truck that comes to the hospital once a week, then goes back to ... somewhere else, maybe Des Moines. They say the report won't be completed until about 4 days - that would be Thursday. We have an appointment Friday for results. I might ask them to give us a call if it comes in early. I sure don't want them to do a rush job, take your time and get it right but not too long. But I do feel better and I can kind of let it go until Friday. I have read some encouraging news on here about different people, I feel like we can cope with whatever comes. I've been reading some inspirational books, too, they lend at least temporary relief. Huge Hugs to all my buds. Margaret Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stand4hope Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 Margaret, I'm glad you're feeling better and that the scan is done. Glad to hear you are relaxing and wishing you a fun and relaxing weekend. Praying for good results! Love, Peggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tnmynatt Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 Margaret, Sorry to be so late. Charlie had a tumor come up in his lymph node. If we had it to do over, we would have pursued the GVAX and possibly sensitivity testing, also. Praying that it is nothing. But, if it's cancer, it may give you more opportunities for treatment. Take care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
