| I am going to be ok. MRI of my liver is normal. What a shock to the nervous system. | Views: 313 |
You know, I went back and forth with being worried, to feeling calm—you know the ropes. My Dr’s office called today to say that my MRI of my liver is normal. Last week, the CT scan showed a small area, and they weren’t sure what it was. I was told in June after a CT that I might have a lung tumor (turned out to be pnemonia, but had to have a PET scan to rule that out!) I AM SO GRATEFUL. Last Nov. I had just been diagnosed and spent my Thanksgiving in the hospital. And this year, I received the news that something was seen on the CT scan a few days before Thanksgiving. But we all made the best of it and tried not to focus on something we cannot control. And I didn’t want to jinx anything here by talking it up all positive and tell you all in my last post that a few days after the jarring news that it suddenly occured to me that maybe what the rad. was seeing was the fibroid that was removed and inked on my liver last year during my colon resection! I called up my Dr’s office to get an opinion and the on call dr. said that it was possible. Well, I was right! I was worried that they’d find something else though. I was thinking the worst, to mentally prepare myself. I told my Onc. that I had thought about cancer and that it is kind of like a slow death, but then laughing, said we all die a slow death. She kind of just looked at me like…uh huh…okay….Her straight face was kind of funny. At least it gave me a laugh. She’s fun to talk to, because she’s so serious (she has to be) and I love to waltz in there now, all chemo free, and sprinkle my energy around. ;) So what a difference from yesterday to today. There is hope you guys. Good things will come. Closing now to go be w/ my children. God Bless.

Great news! Happy for ya!
I know we all think of the worst case scenario in case we do actually get the worst news. But, I am happy that this one was the good one! What a relief!

I ditto on YuYu’s comment. Going to the worst case scenario is usually what one does, just to steer up for bad news. Now that you know you are FREE FREE, go out and give yourself a treat. Like how about dinner and a movie?
Great news.

Melanie, glad I read your post ths am. I had just written how I was finding more and more negative post and nary a positive one.
A little about myself.
Diagnosed Feb. 2008 with stageiv colon cancer. Have just finished my 22nd chemo treatment.[3 day infusion]
Being worried,hopeful,positive,negative is all part of it.
The mind games we play on ourselves just increase when confronted with an open ended diagnosis of cancer.
Your world comes to a screeching halt until you are able to put it in some kind of prespective.
Stat focused,positive and realistic.
