Sorry to hear about you having a tough day my friend.  Is it because of pain or are you struggling mentally? Do you have any hobbies that you like or maybe you have one you would like to start  ... View more

Linda   I hope you had/ having a great day.  By the way what day and time is it there.  Here in California its Thursday 6:46 pm. Close to bedtime for me. Im usually up by 2am for work.  I only mentioned i would consider doing a trial to my aunt and sister in law. They both didn't understand why I would. So I have decided not to tell anyone if I do end up in one My wife is unfortunately having a hard time trying to stay positive.  I love her to death but she very emotional and cries easily . No around me understands why I'm not freaking out.  I been accused of hiding my fear or I'm in denial.  The only way I can explain it is I don't have cancer on my brain so why should I let it take control of my brain.  Maybe you could lie about how bad your cancer is to get your 2 daughters to finally get married 😁. Play the I want to be a grandma before I die card🙈 I had plans to use having cancer to get my way for atlases 6 months😁 but I'm feeling like I may not get the chance to.  I really believe I'm going to be told I'm cancer free next week. I'm mentally prepared to be wrong. Stay Positive... Wegotthis 🌹 ... View more

Darren    Thanks for praying for me.!!! I'm a follower of Chirs. It's funny because I have always been healthy but in the last 11 months I have been through several different health issues. But they have always been the best case scenario. I had skin cancer removed from my nose early this year. But it was the best one to have if you get skin cancer.  I torn my rotator cup and had to see a doctor. If it wasn't for that injury I wouldn't have known i had skin cancer or I was pre diabetic.  This was my first time in almost 20 years going to see a doctor. It was also my first time seeing her.  She doesn't mess around.  36 days ago I saw her because my shoulder was hurting again and I mentioned I found 2 lumps. She had things happen quite.  I trust God that what ever I have or had in me is going to be the best cancer to recover from.  I just found out 2 days ago that the lumps was cancerous . I'm confident that no matter the outcome is God is in control.  That is why I don't worry and honestly don't care that I'm going through this.  Its already has changed who I'm to be a better person.. I hope you have a wonderful day 💗  ... View more

Linda   Thanks for the quick reply.  I'm still waiting to find out what kind of cancer I have or if I will even need treatment.  My CT scan showed no secondary growth.  I'm differently leaning toward doing a clinical trial if one is available and I need treatment.  I don't mind being a lab rat if it helps the next generation 😃. I feel I'm going to be completely ok but I do feel quilty.  We just lost a young lady from church who didn't even have a chance to get married.  I have lived a good life and have 4 amazing grandchildren.  No matter how this goes for me I'm never going to complain because there are so many people who hasn't had the chance to live as long as I have. I'm only 55 and would love to see our grandchildren grow up.  I really hope Wednesday you get great news.  I'm not sure what your plans are but I'm going to stay involved with this group even if I find out I'm cancer free and don't need treatment.  Unfortunately there are only a few people here who takes time to reply to people questions or comments. I'm no expert.  Sometimes all I can offer is a few kind and encouraging words. Sometimes that's all I need to get past a moment . ... View more

Linda glad to hear that you are getting a PET I understand that they are the Holly Grail of tests.. Can I ask why you would choose to use a new non proven treatment over something that been around for a while and proven to work.  I hope you are feeling well  ... View more

Thanks for the reply... I say we got this because I have a great wife and family who will be by my side.  They are the reason I enjoy waking up and getting home from work... I'm going to use having cancer to help people see that cancer doesn't have to take over our lives.  My body may not be healthy but it's not going to take control of who I'm or now I live... ...

I would try not to worry about the unknown.  I know it's scary and almost impossible not to.  The waiting and the not knowing just plain sucks.  I just got my biopsy results yesterday.  Well kind of.  They are doing more tests on it.  I was told it's cancer but not what kind . I personally have researched every one that it could be but I refuse to worry.  Don't let this steal more from you than it has to.... You'll have enough to worry about later  Please keep us updated  ... View more

I hope you are well.  I know this is a old post but I have to say your comments on the US made me smile  Health care can be very expensive depending on your income.  I know a family of 4 who pays $500 a year for health insurance.  My wife and I pay close to $700 a month for us. The family of 4 pays nothing out of pocket for health treatments.  I'm not even sure if I do have cancer. I'm waiting on a biopsy report.  In the last 30 days I have been billed for over $4000 and I don't even know for sure.  There is a lot of bad things about the US that's for sure. But the good out weights the bad.  If you ever find yourself in California look me up 🙂 ... View more

Sorry to hear about your health.  I'm no cancer expert. But something sounds wrong.  Did they use contact ( I'm sure I spelled that wrong) during the CT. Did they hook up a IV during the CT. The CT should have found any growth and it's location.  I'm waiting on a biopsy report. They removed 2 lumps under my armpit and doing the biopsy.  A core biopsy is better than nothing but I'm surprised that they could say it's non curable without more testing.  I would get a second opinion for sure.  Stay positive and please keep us updated  ...
