Thank you for the prayers and thoughts :)
I really identified with the forced roullette game analogy. The uncertainty really stresses me out at times. December is always a reflective time for me... I have my birthday, our annaversary, Christmas and the dawning of a new year. Hopefully it makes me savor the moments and share the love more freely. The emotions are so intense - I guess that what happens when you are acutely aware of what hangs in the balances.
I am grateful for our blc family here - the understanding and support helps so much. God bless and make Merry :) Holly

Holly- My prayers are with you as well for the checkup on the 19th. Here is to a great New Year's celebration following good news! And thanks for the kind words in response to my post about my dad a couple weeks ago.

Holly,

A few Christmas's in a row I have waited for path reports or had a scare. For some reason at this time of year when everyone else is celabrating and busy preparing it seems such a wrong time to have such a wieght on one. I remember those times as feeling as if I was stuck in a bubble watching the world and realizing how very different my reality was than the others around me.
I have always thought that the cancer is not the worst pain in all of this but the uncertainty we all face. Once when sitting with my husband in the Onocologist office waiting for the latest test results he said something that really put it into a ture perspective for me. We were sitting quietly and out of the blue he said "you know this is like getting stuck in a never ending game of Russian Rullette". Maybe this is the one things that makes us blc survivors a family is the fact that no matter our dx we and our loved ones face that never ending game.
I can not take away your worry and the stress this will be for you and your family. But I can offer you my understanding. I hope you let us know what you find out. If I can ever be of help please feel free to contact me.

Chin up and straight forward

Cynthia
