Guest guest Posted February 27, 2003 Report Share Posted February 27, 2003 M. , Venting? No, I wouldn't say that...sharing and dealing with the wait and see game is extremely difficult. Thanks for letting us know and you will be in our prayers...guess this means I probably again won't meet you in person at Spring Fling. Give my best to Lois.

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2003 Report Share Posted February 27, 2003 , You need to vent and we will keep you and Lois in our prayers. It's good that you have a church family to help you. Vivian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 27, 2003 Report Share Posted February 27, 2003 All of us know the game Wait and See. I played it for two and a half years. Some of you have played it a lot longer. Lois and I took it to a new level this winter. It's been a wait and see game since last August and it's not over yet. A few of you knew that Lois was diagnosed with breast cancer right before Autumn in Carolina. First a mammogram. Wait and see. Another mammogram. Wait and see. Sonogram Wait and see Biopsy Wait and see Lumpectomy Wait and see Good Report Cancer was Self-contained Cat scan to prepare for 30 radiation Treatments Treatments, No problem Cat scan shows spot on right lung Wait and see A PET Test (Not the kind many of have been talking about lately) Wait and see Lung surgery required Wait and see Tuesday Feb. 25 Lung surgery Wait and see Good report was it was not the same as her breast cancer Bad repot was it is cancer Wait and see what the lab report is for follow up It does sound encouraging it did not go into limp nodes. So if the final report in a couple of days is that it was self contained it will be the end of our wait and see game. If not we will deal with what has God has given us and go from there. She is doing well, but very tired. She will be in the hospital for about a week. In the meantime family members and church members have furnished transportation for me every day and help in anything I need. It was in the center lob of her right lung. They did remove the whole lob. Her cancer doctor said she didn't radiation but her surgeon insisted on having them. If she hadn't had the radiation the spot wouldn't have been discovered. So things did work out for the best. God works in mysterious ways. Thanks for reading. (I was going to thanks for listening.) M. L. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 27, 2003 Report Share Posted February 27, 2003 Thanks for letting us know about Lois. The 'wait and see game' must have been very nerve racking but hopefully things are on the upswing now. I wish the two of you all the best and will keep in my prayers. Jo!

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2003 Report Share Posted February 27, 2003 M. & Lois, Blessings to you, and prayers for a total and speedy recover for Lois.

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2003 Report Share Posted February 27, 2003 I'm so sorry to hear about Lois' cancer diagnosis, but happy they found it when they did. What a nightmare for you both. Please let her know I'll put her in my prayers. Thomson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2003 Report Share Posted February 27, 2003 Dear M. and Lois, I am sorry for the new medical challenge you are facing. Having been down the " cancer road " myself, I know how terrifying the diagnosis can be. Be comforted by the fact that you have early detection on your side, it has not spread to lymph nodes, the affected lobe has been removed, and that Lois already has already overcome a cancer, successfully. Don't forget that the majority of cancers are curable--that's important (and encouraging). Radiation takes its toll especially in causing fatigue. Top that off with a major surgery and the emotional component, and it is understandable that she is tired. Take heart. We'll all be praying for the strength you both need to get through this together. I know our prayers will be answered. Please keep us apprised of her progress. And please share your thoughts with the group whenever you need to. We do care! Dolores Should I call it Venting? > All of us know the game Wait and See.
