Bad update

[Guest guest]

Hey all, i went for my cat scan, and i knew within the 1st 15

minutes it was bad. They stopped the test in the middle of cat scan

and asked so many questions, did i ever have surgery before on my

chest area, and so i told them about the breast cancer. They then

took more pictures via cat scan. At the end i could tell just by

the look on their faces i was going to get bad news. We talked

somemore and they said i would here from my doc today. I was home

by 3:00pm and my doc called me at 4:30, he asked me if they said

anything to me at the cat scan and i told him we discussed my mito

and thouroughly discussed my previous breast cancer, he asked me did

i have an appointment to come to the family practice and i told him

no, to knock it off and cut to the chase. I told him it was cancer

that i already knew it, and he said he didnt like discussing these

matters on the phone, and i told him to late, lets kick some cancer

butt. He agreed to discuss it by phone reluctenly, but he knows me

well enough now. He is calling an radiation oncologist and a pulmo

surgeon for me to discuss some options. I will go with the flow,

but most likely seek a second opinion, if im not satisfied with whom

he chooses. Ive been treated very well with this family practice

for the past 2 years. Matts been there since he was 3 yo. They

know what i went through for 6 years (the run around of everything

is fine with you it cant be mito) from my last family practice. Im

actually very upset as the reality of it all is hitting me. CANCER

again but in the lung this time. But im also optimistic, i have to

fight this with all i got. I need my kids and they need me. I will

need some serious support from you all out there in mito land. I

will understand for those who cannot handle this subject matter, i

ask for your prayers only. I will try to make it to chat tonight, i

know alot of ya's had to deal with cancer be it yourselfs or family

member with it, and any ideas and encouragement will be

appreciated. I cant express enough appreciation for this group, and

all you have helped me through over the past couple years, I have

grown to cherish you all my mito family!! Many Thanks, Barb
