Guest guest Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 Ingrid, You have been through so much. You will get through this and it will be okay. Keep the faith. You know we think of you dearly and things will be fine. It is always good to stay positive even when the road is so tough for a lot of us. Are prayers and thoughts are with you. Janet Deb, Oh, I feel so bad that you and Joe have got to go through these worries again. But, these doctors are always jumping the guns. Just because you have a cancer history they treat everything like you have cancer again. Like with my nodule I had in my lung. Just because I have a colon cancer history it was treated like I had cancer in my lung now. Of course after I had a lung resect they found out it was not cancer. Now I have to go through the long healing process of my ribs being stretched and all the muscle tenderness as well as the nerves that are screaming if I move a certain way or do to much. All because they did not want to biopsy it first. Do not get all worked up. The doctors always look for the worst. It is thier job to do this. Just take it one day at a time. Has his CEA counts gone up? Colon cancer does not normally go to the spine. It can but does not usually. So please try to look on the brighter side for now. When is his MRI scheduled? I go tomorrow to see the ONC and see what and if I need more treatment with my reoccurance in the intestines. Surgery did get it all. I am waiting to find out about my CEA counts. I know I could call now and find out about my CEA. I am fighting the urge to call. Am afraid to know if it is still an eight or if it has gone up more. But then it could have gone down since they removed the new nodule. Then I worry what if the cancer is somewhere else. Don't know if I should call or wait till four o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Am fighting with myself about calling. What if it is bad news?????? I am Praying for you and Joe. Ingrid --------------------------------- Yahoo! Mail Stay connected, organized, and protected.
