Karen, How are things going, your in my thoughts and prayers. My husband will have his bladder out 3rd week of August.. I am sure you are very scared, I have a hard time myself, still in denial about it some what.
I keep remembering what Zack said about worry, our minds are controlled by us , we need to fill our minds with encouragement, take help from all friends and family although our mood is not always the most gracious, at least for me. But I am trying. Ginger Beane

Holly,

I appreciate all of the thoughts and prayers. Thank you so much. Ours are with you too. I hope the next news we all get is good news!

Hi Momof4,

Waiting for all the scans and tests drive me crazy too. I had bone scans in Feb - found a bone tumor that was suspicious and other areas of degeneration too. So I had another bone scan July 5th - the tumor showed an "increased uptake" so Aug 27th they are doing a still film of the tumor to compare with the Feb films for growth to determine if its mets. The waiting and wondering where it ends is very hard. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your husband, God Bless, Holly

ps. My bone tumor is in my left shoulder.

Hi,

I'm sorry you were hit with this news...but it won't change things, chemo can still begin as scheduled. You are allowed to pissed off anyway, so feel free to vent.

I had a couple of bone scans over the last 7 yrs and never got strapped down, eeuw, what a thought. I do take some valium so I can lay there still for a half hour.

Hang in there.

Karen,
Hold him, love him, and be home with him on your birthday. Move quickly to attack this doom over you and your family, but most of all try to have faith that your husbands youth will sustain him. You are thinking, when will this end, me too. Day by day think of something funny to get you through and share it with him. Let me know whats the next step.
