I haven't been on here in a few months. I was and still am going through so much and trying to understand things that were going on and learning new things as well. I talked with all my doctors before my surgery. I told my Surgeon that I didn't want to be cut opened and he told me that he wouldn't . I also told him that my oncologist wanted to put me on this medicine. I told her that I didn't want chemo or radiation. My surgeon told me that medicine would not work for me due to me having RA. He said he would do the surgery and then I would be having lots of scans. Well I had my surgery on 4/12/2017. I had a 1.5 cm metastasized melanoma on my left lower lung. When surgery was done they could not find it. They cut and cut and finally found a 7 mm lesion on my lung. The doctor also found a black nodule. I have copies of the reports. I have an appointment today and will be asking lots of questions. My PCP called me and had me follow up with her. She wanted to talk about a treatment plan. I told her what I told my oncologist, I told her what my surgeon said. She asked if I had followed up with the surgeon yet and I told her no. So she made another appointment with me. She wanted me to know how I could get cancer again and we don't know where or when. Then this last weekend I got a call from a nurse to set up an appointment for me to see my oncologist and talk about treatment plan. I gave her questions I wanted answered so we wouldn't waste each other's time. I don't know what it is but every time treatment plan comes up I end up with a panic attack, anxiety and deep depression, it just doesn't feel right. Are these normal feelings??? What was suppose to be simple turned out to be a disaster.

One thing being said to you VS What actually happens.
Dear Danna what a thing to happen to you and it's not nice at all. No wonder you feel anxious and depressed. I do hope that your medical team can speak to you honestly and with care and compassion.
Our daughter in law begins chemo tomorrow for breast/lymph node cancer. She has lupus too so we are praying everything goes well.
Wishing you well too xxxxx
Sassy if you remember all my concerns because of what I went through before. I will keep your daughter-in-law in my prayer's. Let me know how she does on chemo. If she is sick how it makes her feel I am really trying to figure out what to do
Danna I do hope that your team listen to you and answer your questions I thinking of you best wishes Margaret xxx
Wishing your dear DIL all the best sassy. Keep us updated please.
Danna not nice and I do feel for you. Fingers crossed it all goes smoothly from now on. Take care.
Thank you Sassy.
Hi Danna
I am absolutely sure panic attacks and deep depressions are completely normal considering what you have been through. I hope your consultations start to run much more smoothly.
With love

Hi Danna, panic attacks are normal, considering what you have been through and what you are still going through.
Give yourself some self-compassion and ask for help when you feel you need it xx
Dear Danna, you are in my thoughts and prayers. Hoping you will soon be in a calmer time after all the health problems you are going through.
