Guest guest Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 Ingrid I know how you are feeling. Maybe the nodules are not cancer. The docs said I had two nodules on my lung (which one have no idea) but were small and they were just going to watch them for now. Now I have the back ache after chemo, twice now. Am I anxious? Yes but trying not to be. I was fine after last chemo come down, and hope I will be this time as well but it still worries me. I see Onc tomorrow so will ask him. Could be just ordinary side effect but what if not. I shed a tear or two about that already. Hang on gal, it could be absolutely nothing. Stay tuned to your body -- you feel good.. Keep that in mind and stay positive. I wish I could say I have been through this and it is nothing but I can't. But I still feel you should jump to conclusions. Is still 50 50 chance that it is NOT cancer.. Will pray hard for you gal, you have come so far and been such a support for every one of us, don't let go now. Keep the faith... I think you will be fine. Big Hugs Jolene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 Thanks Jolene, but the sad part is I am going to have to endure surgery next Monday. And everything I am researching saids that I will have a painful recovery time. The surgeon I talked to told me he is treating this as if it was cancer since I already have a cancer history and the rise in my CEA counts. I just do not know what to think. Just feel that my world is falling apart. Ingrid > Ingrid > I know how you are feeling. Maybe the nodules are not cancer.

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 Ingrid Let's say for now it is NOT cancer. As they don't know. However if the worst happens thank God they are finding it early and treating it aggressively. As to how it can come back bell this thing is a clever beast and has no heart. Do know I'll be thinking and praying for you. Narice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the ONC did my last CEA count they found it had risen slightly. This led to a Cat Scan as well as a Pet Scan. Everything was normal in my bowels. But they found a lung nodule. Well I saw the surgeon today. They are going to remove the nodule next Monday. They are not sure if it is cancer or not. The Pet Scan did not pick it up as cancer. It is very small. Only 1CM. About the size of a pencil eraser. The surgeon said he is going to treat this as if it is mestisized cancer unless he finds different. He said it is a 50/50 chance. If it is cancer it is at a very treatable stage from what he said. What he plans on doing is go in between my ribs and remove it and part of my lung. It is in the bottom lobe area. Needless to say I am terrified!!!! Cried my heart out this afternoon. I feel so wonderful since the chemo is over. How could I have cancer again? I have not had any sympthoms other then the rising CEA. Would like to hear from someone who has gone through this. Ingrid Oh, Ingrid...how I hate this disease!!! As you know, Glenn has been through this... as have many others...this insidious disease just has no conscience!!! Glenn had the colon resection and months of chemo...thought all was well and BAM!!! it reared it's ugly head with mets to the liver. It is just a nightmare to live through... but WE (including you) are NOT going to let it get us down...for more than a few minutes at a time!!! We know where to go to get help and strength to get us through!!! Here for support and on our knees for strength.... keep fighting girl...hopefully IF it is cancer, they've caught it in time to not be a threat. I'm praying very hard for you Ingrid...and sending big bear {{{{ hugs}}}} with lots of love!!!

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 Dear Ingrid, Well, I guess your happy ending has been postponed for a while. Please focus on the positives: 1. The onc is on top of this situation. 2. The spot is probably nothing. 3. Even if it's cancer it's very small and VERY treatable. I know you're scared. It's impossible not to be. I like to get very busy when I've got something like this to deal with. Physical activity helps me deal with the nerves and then I can sleep better at night because I'm tired. I don't know what will work for you because everyone is different. Keep praying and I will pray along with you. I'm going to be very specific about this one. I'm praying that the " node " is something like a calcified granuloma from some cold you had. All my CT scans refer to those type of things. This is one of those times that a small miracle can show up. Miracles happen! Cliff H. > Have not talked about what has been happening the past week with me but > will update everyone now.

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 Thank you Cliff. Yes, I have been staying busy all day. Doing stuff I know I will not be able to do for awhile since I think my right side is going to hurt for awhile. I am right handed. I too have to work off my anxiety. But still have been having problems sleeping. I am scared!!!! As for the node. The pet scan said it was non clacified. Could the pet scan be wrong? Only hope so. I wish it was called calcified. Then it would be better. Yes, Now would be a great time for a miricle. Or I wish I could wake up and this was just a bad dream.
