CT for followup today~
Posted by jimswife on January 11, 2011 at 2:50 pmWow, it’s been a long 6 months since Jim was diagnosed with his T4aN2Mo BC and today he goes in just about an hour and a half for his followup CT. To say I am nervous is a HUGE understatement but we have faith that he will be found to have no spread. That’s our hope and prayer! Thanks to many of you on the forum I have gone from being a nearly hysterical wife of a BC patient to a knowledgable person who is facing this side by side with her husband! So thanks to all of you!
Prayers gladly and happily accepted!Sled Ed replied 13 years, 8 months ago 6 Members · 14 Replies -

Forum Moderator:woohoo: :woohoo: Jim’s CT report came back all clear! He will have two more rounds of chemo and then vigilant watching from here on! He saw his oncology urology surgeon yesterday and all is well with that part of this! Thank you all again for being there and pushing me when it was needed to “do the right thing”. You are all awesome!
Thanks to all of your for your good wishes. We get the results tomorrow from the oncologist. Jim went to surgeon today for his 6 month post op checkup and all is going well for him on that front. Thanks again. I will let you know how the report goes tomorrow. Thanks again.
Hoping for the best!

My opinions are my own and do not reflect the opinion of ABLCS or anyone else. I am not a doctor nor do I play one on TV.I can TOTALLY relate! I was always the cool one on the outside. My family thought I had it totally together.
NOT!
Before every visit I slept poorly and was SURE the visit was going to show something new. Even though I am now a part of the 6 month club, I still get a little nervous. It is normal………I hope!
Good luck. I will be sending you a prayer for good luck. If God answers suto salesman’s prayers :laugh:
