I'm very very scared

As I am typing this I can't stop crying. I am really scared. Went to the hospital today for results of CT scan. There are two oncologists at our hospital. One just monitors you and the other ALWAYS gives bad news. I knew things would be bad when the bad news onc walked in the room.
On the scan it is showing that i have a 5mm nodule on my chest wall. So it looks like its spread again. She did try and reassure me that ct scans pick up everything and that it could well be nothing.But of course i am now thinking the worse. They can't repeat scans too close together as you can't pick up on any changes. So next step is to repeat the CT scan to see if its still there. Thats going to be in January. So two months of sheer hell to get through
Very scared and VERY VERY Frightened -My heart is telling me its nothing but my head is telling me that its spread. I don't know what to do at the moment

Go with your heart, Jools. Believe that it has not spread, use the power of positive mental attitude. I know it's all very well me saying that, it's harder to do so in reality but it can't hurt to try. Certainly everyone around you, including me is thinking positively for you.

We are all thinking of you.

Big hug, love

Hi Jools,
Like yourself am very scared at the mo, starting my chemo on Thursday. Had a CT scan myself nearly a fortnight ago and it threw up alsorts-rushed into hospital for tests and scans ALL to no avail. So please take heart these scans throw up everything and lead to nothing in the end. Take care and am thinking of you.

hold on to your positive attitude,

and when you're well and flourishing, look back and realize

Julie - take care of yourself, take advantage of every day, eat healthy, exercise and do relaxation. Somethings are out of our hands and in Gods. While it is not the same, I was terrified 3.5 years ago when my husband was diagnosed as having cancer that had spread throughout his abdomen and metastasized to his liver. I prayed and cryed for a week before we got a ray of hope, it was a rare cancer that grows slowly - he probably had it for 10 or 20 years - before I had ever met him. He underwent radical surgery to remove much of his intestine and all the tumors they could find, including the one on the liver. It was easily the hardest, saddest time of my life. We had been married only 2 years and were expecting our 1st child. Right now, he is watching a baseball game in the other room, he is cancer free. Every situation is not the same, but God can do miracles even now! Even if its not what you want or hope for, God can give you the strength and wisdom to deal with your personal challenges in the best way possible. Will be praying for you.
