Tuesday I was told that radiation treatments would have to be put on hold.
They found suspicious spots on my lungs on my CATscan. :'(
Scheduled a PETscan for this morning.
Was called this afternoon and told the results were negative for cancer...
was scar tissue. (which will have to be monitored for the rest of my life)

So relieved and HAPPY.

Start Radiation (again) next Monday.

I'm sure you were absolutely terrified at hearing about any more suspicious spots! I know I would have been!

So very happy to hear that it's not as bad as it could have been!!! Bet you're celebrating again!

Thanks everyone!

I am still on cloud 9,

Good news Joyce!

Thanks again everyone!

Last night I had to go to Jamie's open house at school,
so I made a pot of strong coffee and had two huge mugs.
Came home, and no matter the amount of caffeine, I was crashing FAST.
We all did. I think everyone was sleeping by 10.

Now my whole body is sore...like I've been beaten up. I think for 2 days I was bracing myself physically and mentally...and now my muscles, bones, everything aches. Like I worked out real hard. Especially in my shoulders and neck. Also weighed in at the Oncologist before my bloodtest yesterday and I had lost 5 pounds in one week. Very bad! (in their eyes) But I think that was from stress too. I could not eat from the moment they told me I had spots on my lungs. Felt sick. So for over 2 days, I fasted pretty much, except for coffee to keep me awake. Even my mom told me yesterday when she came to pick me up...'You've dropped a lot of weight again.' But she didn't nag....just an observational statement and she couldn't blame me.
I'll probably gain most of it back in a week too.

LIFE IS GOOD!

I was really worried when I first started reading it but I glad it had a happy ending.

Teresa · « **Reply #15 on:** September 22, 2006, 07:37:02 AM »

That doesn't sound like any kinda diet or workout I wanna try . . . .

kaz · « **Reply #16 on:** September 22, 2006, 08:44:05 AM »

Joyce... I can't even begin to imagine the anxiety you must have been through. Thankfully the outcome is positive

. I do think of you and your family lots... sending heaps of best wishes.

Take care,

I'm so glad that you got the rest that you needed, you sounded refreshed this morning. Stress pops out in weird physical ways, like aching muscles and exhaustion, and lack of concentration. Remember to feed your soul with your plant therapy, your wonderful family and of course your kitties!

mcp · « **Reply #21 on:** September 22, 2006, 12:14:21 PM »

Joyce So glad to hear the Good News.

Will keep you and your family in my prayers.

Oh my godness Joyce. How scary for you. Glad it's ok though and I hope the radiation goes well for you.

Joyce · « **Reply #23 on:** September 22, 2006, 05:27:16 PM »

Thanks again everyone.

Was another day without energy.
I think I burnt myself out worrying all week.
Left work early too and just vegged out in the backyard on the patio table.

Hi Joyce,

I was just reading this and I am so glad everything turned out good. I haven't spent anytime on the forum lately b/c it is hard being back to work b/c I want to spend every mnute that I am home with Andrew. He wore the Newport jacket today for the first time. Thanks again!

CT · « **Reply #25 on:** September 25, 2006, 07:00:21 PM »

Sometimes vegging out on the patio is just what's needed. Hope your energy level is better tomorrow

Oh my Joyce, what a roller coaster ride you have been on. So glad to hear good news. When will your radiation treatments be over? I remember last year at this time my good friend was going through the same thing and her treatments ended the end of November. You remind me so much of her, she had such a positive attitude too. Seems like a long time ago now. I had lunch with her last week and she looks great. I hope your treatments end before the Holidays!!!!

Oh that reminds me of a joke I just heard not to long ago.

What is Irish and stays out all night?

Have a great day Joyce

Esther · « **Reply #28 on:** September 27, 2006, 05:37:48 PM »

Daisy, that was a groaner.

Joyce, I'm so glad your exrays results turned out negative. As if it isn't bad enough for you to go through all your treatments, then to have to wonder what they saw for several days. There should be a law.

Kristin F. · « **Reply #29 on:** September 27, 2006, 06:35:59 PM »

phew, take care Joyce - God bless you.
