Guest guest Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 So sorry to see Joe S leave us. And my heart goes out to all of us. Monday I had my PET scan, and today I saw Dr. Napoli. Monday went really faster than normal, and they seemed to be more rushed. Before the scan, I had done a 1 mile run and drank lots of water. The technician reprimanded me for running. I snapped back and said not one person ever said I could not exercise. I told him I did not eat for four hours as required. Well he yelled back at me and said, " Dont talk anymore, or the isotopes will settle in your throat. Wierd. I am crying now... dont know what the f*ck to do. I have two spots on my liver. Doc said they are not cysts. I have to be scanned in another month, and the port will have to stay in. I was so hoping I could tell my father good news that I was NED. Looks like he was right. Maybe our medical system sucks. He has been cancer free for over 15 years now, and does everything in Tradeau's book on natural cures. I just bought the book. I think I will run and then go get drunk. I feel so depressed now. Not sure what to do. Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 Jay, I'm so sorry you're feeling so bad now. When I first started this journey my scans showed something on my liver, even though the surgeon had palpated my liver during resection and said there was nothing there. The second scan the spots were reported as " consistent with hemangioma, " which is I think more common in women, but I guess could be present in men too. Don't despair too much. I know it's easy to do and you deserve to feel sorry for yourself, we all do it, some more than others. Just take heart and know there are other possible explanations, and we'll all hope and pray this turns out to be nothing. Prayers for you, sweetie. Jay Debaca wrote: So sorry to see Joe S leave us.

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 Thanks Deb! I guess my emotions just tanked today. Its funny how I came straight to the computer to my wonderful group of support friends! I suspect my feelings were bruised when the doc gave me the word. I so expected to tell everyone that I was ned, hence the extreme disappointment. I just got through running and am enjoying a quiet house with time to positively reflect. Thanks for the cyber hug!

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2005 Report Share Posted October 22, 2005 Hello Jay, I know you've had some time to settle down and others have been able to help out. I just wanted to send a few items of my own. I've had 3, maybe 4 PET scans. One showed a lymph node behind my stomach was lighting up. Another showed a spot in my colon near the ascending to transverse bend. The lymph node was not a problem and it never showed up again. I had just had a colonoscopy one month prior to the PET scan so the colon site was not anything to worry about. Of course, the PET also found the radiation damage to my small bowel in the area of the anastamosis. At the time, it was an unknown and the radiologist assumed that it was leftover radiation damage. (How true that was!) I'm not saying that you have cancer or not. I don't know. I don't think anyone can say at this point. That is my point. I wanted you to know that there is a very real possibility that there isn't cancer. We're all going to be praying very hard that the spots in the liver were an anomaly and not really cancer. Keep busy and I hope your flight to Sydney is enjoyable! Miracles happen! Cliff H. > > So sorry to see Joe S leave us.
