Guest guest Posted July 21, 2005 Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 >>>, I know what you mean about time being precious. The lung surgeon told me last Tuesday that it could take up two six months before my ribs stop hurting. All I could think of was it was a big long chunk out of my life for all this healing process to take place. And of course I suspect my husband and son are getting tired of having to do my routine chores. I feel so bad for my 13 year old son. He has got to do so many chores that I used to do during the day. This child should be out having fun and not having to help me so much. Today I feel a little better for now. But as the day goes on I get so tired. Am so sick of hurting in my ribs. It limits me way too much. My nights are full of broken sleep. And keep thinking what the reoccurant tumor means for me. i try not to think aobut it but the thoughts are there. Ingrid >>> You are in my prayers, Ingrid. I just can't help but think it is possible this tumor is all contained within itself and can be removed and forgotten. Have they talked to you yet about any physical therapy they will have you do, at home, to build up strength again? When is your next checkup with them, maybe next week? ---------- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.

Guest guest Posted July 21, 2005 Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 , The colon surgeon and lung surgeon both have released me and are done. My next step is make appointment to see the Onc who seems to be in charge of me for now. I will need another CEA and then see the Onc. I am terrified that he will recommend more chemo. Right now i want to get more healed and stronger before I go. It is a long drive to see the doctors. I just want to get a little stronger first. But also need to get this done so I know what is going on with me. Still need a lot of questions answered. Ingrid > >>>, I know what you mean about time being precious.
