Re: I NEED OPINIONS!/ & everyone else

[Guest guest]

Thank you ! I went ahead today and called the derm's office back and

spoke with his nurse, she suggested she fax the path report to my onc. (which

she did) and that I call them and see if they wanted me to follow up with the

derm. or them, soooo , I called and talked to my onc's office and they said my

Dr. would probably request the biopsy be sent to another lab so they could get

a second opinion and they moved my appt. with Dr. Skinner up to next week

instead of the end of Sept. So I feel better about it. I am just

wondering......is everyone on this group as afraid as I am of coming up with a

secondary cancer? I find myself being suspicious and paranoid about every little

change in my body. If I were just growing old without CML it probably wouldnt

even catch my attention, but already having cancer........anyway does everyone

else find this true of themselves??

Hugs,

Katy

Katy,

Yes. LOL.

I'm only 36 and do it. I think part of it is because I KNEW something was

wrong back in April 07. I thought maybe I was pregnant. I even went to the

doc and explained all my symptoms. He said - get on depression meds and sent

me on my way. Then, I end up in ICU for a week for a spleenectomy!! So, now

everytime something hurts, I tend to think WAY too big!

HI KATY, I'M 78 NOW AND EVEN WITH CML I DON'T GIVE ANOTHER CANCER A THOUGHT. 

BUT, WHEN I WAS 38 AND HAD UTERINE CANCER AND 6 YOUNG CHILDREN I GAVE IT A LOT

OF THOUGHT.  FOR ABOUT 15 YEARS I WORRIED ABOUT ANYTHING THAT WENT WRONG WITH MY

BODY, AND WORRIED THAT I WOULD NOT LIVE TO RAISE MY KIDS. IT DIDN'T STOP UNTIL

THEY GREW UP AND I DIDN'T HAVE THE RESPONSIBILITY ANYMORE.   IT'S NATURAL TO

WORRY ABOUT IT, BUT MUCH BETTER NOT TO DWELL ON IT,  IF POSSIBLE, BOBBY.

Dear Katy,

Yes, I think about having a secondary cancer and it is possible, but

if you have regular check ups they can be detected early on. I don't

dwell on it, as I know there are many drugs that would be effective

for most types of cancer. Live in today and don't project something

into tomorrow. Then tomorrow comes and you will find that you wasted

precious time worrying about nothing. That could be tied in with

your depression. Talk to your doctor about the stats for this

happening. Fear paralyzes you, don't give in to it.

Blessings,

Lottie
