Good Scan Results

So happy. Bone Scan shows no new activity and Cat Scan shows only slight progression in two small left lung nodules most in keeping with mild worsening of metastatic disease. Haven't heard yet what if any action is needed. See the Oncologist next week.

Cheers, June

Thanks for responding. I was very stressed out because the bone scan came to me quickly but due to a mix up had to wait all week for the CT scan results. Of course I thought it was because of some new complication.

I did not know that the nodules in the lungs could be normal. I had read about them in other parts. Hope mine are innocent!

Thanks also for the link. I will check it out. I love being as informed as possible.

Cheers, June S.

Yes, I have a few years on you. I am 79 and coming up to 80 in June. My lung nodules did increase slightly in size. Hopefully, they will not increase any more. One is larger to 5mm. (1/2" )

Cheers, June S.

ok, I will. My appt. is Tuesday. 9:30 am. It will be a phone appt. to save me going to the hospital. I go later in the day for a Zometa infusion.

I'm pleased for you, June; it's such a relief when progression halts or is curbed.

That's exactly the kind of news we all want and need. ✨✨✨

June, it is so good to have Sandra on the board. She understands so much that many of us don't. I am so glad that she is here for you and the rest of us. Have a great week. Blessings, Hannah

Yes, it is so good to have her. She very often knows sources of information needed for us. (I think that is bad English sentencing). But you know I agree with you whole heartedly.

Cheers, June S.

Great news.

Thanks. Still not out of the woods but heading in the right direction. How are you doing these days? You are dealing with so much more in so many ways. Thinking about you and wishing you good days ahead.

Cheers, June S.

Having a rough day today emotionally. I’ve been doing so well the last two years and I was looking forward to a sunny day when my good hip started paining a lot and I just fell apart and cried for over two hours. Texted a couple of friends and then my daughter. I hate to upset my kids but my friend said they needed to know how I was really doing.

So sorry to hear that. You are so strong. Just coming off an extraordinary low myself. (Much unlike me) Thanks for letting us know.

Your friend is absolutely right! While we don't cry on our kids shoulders every day they sure want to know when things get tough. It is their journey too and they want to take part. I do hope your pain in the hip is temporary. Maybe from being on it too much. I know my osteoarthritic knee complains bitterly when I overdo it.

Love and hugs, June S.

in reply to8576

Thank you June. I try not to complain on here as I know everyone going through the same thing. My daughter was good as was my son. Thankfully texting can have its benefits as no matter how hard either of us are crying we can still type the words. ❤️. I hope things improve for you emotionally also.

thanks Sarah. Yes, I am beginning to level out again. I don't often get so turned inside out. Never really but last week got me riding the rails.

I don't think anyone thinks sharing the good and the bad on here is complaining. It is sharing the experience, accepting understanding and sympathy from someone who has been there or who has some knowledge to offer. At least that is what this forum is for me.

in reply to8576

You are right June. Asking for Info I’m ok with but I struggle to ask for emotional support

8576 in reply to

Understood Sarah. Many of us women hesitate to ask for ourselves. You are not alone in that regard. We are always looking after the family daily, with chores and/or working outside the home.

Just got wonderful news. The cost of Ibrance/Faslodex will now be covered and so we don't have to pay the $832.00 per month! Not sure if it is the government or Phizer who has waived the cost.

Cheers, June S.

in reply to8576

That is awesome news. It is so expensive and it shouldn’t have to put you in debt to take it. Good luck.

Thanks again Sarah. I am so relieved as I wasn't looking forward to going up to the next level which is for me Xeloda.

Thanks Linda. I hope so too. She is not very experienced so I feel like I have to try and be on top of things. I am glad I have the option of a second opinion if needed.

Congratulations! We all need to celebrate when the opportunity presents itself. :-) Thanks for sharing.

8576 in reply tolynnhbtb

Yes. Celebration in order. I celebrate by sharing my good news here and with family and friends. I used to celebrate by having a glass of wine but it doesn't go well with the meds. Sometimes I have a spritzer. That works.

Now I sit down at my computer and read all the wonderful messages you all send to me. So comforting.

How do you celebrate Lynn?

Cheers, June S.

I guess, I'm just grateful. Gratitude is a strong elixer. :-) I just got a negative bone scan report, so I'm happy about that.

Happy for you ! x 🌈

Thank you Sandra. A couple hours of uncontrollable crying plus a talk with my daughter and a couple good friends AND then a nap and I woke up feeling human again. I don’t think I have cried like that since just before my diagnosis when I was in so much pain and nobody seemed to be able to help me. ❤️

Thanks for your good wishes and my appt. did go well. The cost of the Ibrance and Faslodex has been removed and so I don't have to pay $832.00 per month now. Such good news. Just have to wait for the application to go through. About 2 weeks. Such a relief.

Cheers, June S.
