Talk Cancer

Question:

Dear God, thank you all for your love and support!! My regular tech was not on but Richard was my angel for the day. The shin shows some stress fractures, but his prime concern and the radiologist he called him was the "hot spots" showing in different spots.The doc was a very kind and honest man. He is going to consult with my pcp and order more tests. His feeling is that there is bone cancer, a metastasis from somewhere else,of course. He is suggesting a biopsy be done on the lymph nodes in my neck which we all attributed to my series of infections. He mentioned a few other possibilities that are less upsetting: bone rubbing on bone for several months can do it’s own type of damage,etc. To be honest, after I heard the possibility of bone cancer,my mind went into the "get home now" mode. I told him thank you and please call me and I simply left. I have lied to my husband and told him it was inconclusive—not a total lie, but enough that he understand more testing is needed. I am going to rest for a few days and be more upbeat when I return…really! Gotta give the Irish-German in me time to rise to the occasion. Suddenly, a chair doesn’t sound so bad…..losing the leg would be a hell of a way to lose weight….do they make pantyhose for one-legged women? Blessings….and with all my heart, I do pray for blessings for all of us. Blessings of peace and hope and belly laughs and puddles and dandelions and grand hot fudge sundaes and feeling connected to people who care. Donnah

Oh my dear.  I saw your other message just before we left this morning and you’ve been on my mind all day.  I was hoping the results would be conclusive in a positive way.  Sigh.  Praying for bone rubbing on bone, etc.  Hang in there girl.  You’re tough. You wouldn’t have made it this far otherwise. And we’re here whenever you gt tired and discouraged.  Rest, and reappear when you’re ready.

{{{{Donnah}}}}  you have already shared with us, I know you will share with your husband when it feels right.  For now, it is true, you don’t yet know for sure, so I understand keeping it like that for now. Shall be waiting for better news with your next report.  Hang in there… Best regards,

Response:

Donnah-I am so sorry the news wasnt better.  Prayers continueing.  Please keep us informed. Char "Remember, I’m pulling for ya’.  We’re all in this together."  Red Green

Response:

Hi Donnah, IMHO, You should share the possibility of cancer with your husband. Cancer is a scary thing but not as bad as it was a few years ago. The treatment isn’t any fun though & shouldn’t be gone through alone. I hope it turns out to be something else but you will still need someone to cry with & share the fear with & that’s what husbands are fore.

From one Irish/German heritage to another — I know it will rise to the surface. That quiet English in me can’t stay on top with that other stuff. LOL   Here is hoping that bone on bone will be the final diagnosis. But you will be strong for whatever they say. Prayers are being said.
