8/20 Update: My PET scan came back under the malignant threshold. I'm so relieved. I have to go back in 2 months and have another CT scan to see if it's grown. That makes me nervous--but that's normal, right? He has the option of doing a needle biopsy--but elected not to, because the risk outweighs the benefit. I figure if he was really worried, he'd order the needle biopsy now. So it's really good news. (But I'm still nervous-- that's the hypochondriac in me!)
Thank-you so much for all of the prayers and good wishes. They were truly a comfort.
8/14 update:
My PET scan was canceled because they could not get insurance approval. It is rescheduled for Monday, pending insurance approval… In the meantime, I am in a tremendous amount of pain – and it is getting worse. I have had the pain for two weeks and two days now. It started out pretty mild – mostly annoying and worrisome. And intermittent. But now, unless I take a pain pill, it is pretty much 24 hours a day. And if I don't take a pain pill, it becomes unbearable. So in 2 weeks, I have gone from no pain at all to horrible pain. I never saw this coming.
School starts in one week. I'm going to finish setting up my room today – but then I do not know what will happen. Will I even be able to start the school year?
Thank you so much for all of your prayers and good wishes – please continue them. I feel blessed to have really good friends and two devoted brothers close by. But I also feel blessed to be part of this crazy Refupea community...we really are a weird bunch… But it feels good to have people all over the world praying for me. Thank-you from the bottom of my heart.
OP:
So as many of you might know. I have several nodules in my lungs. Although there is still a small chance they are not cancer, it is more likely they are (due to their number, size, location and appearance).
Tomorrow, I get a PET scan to find out what exactly is going on. I am having lots of pain in my lower left side and back--which may be the source od everything. But that's ALL we know-- there are 1000 possibilities. We just have to see what the scan says.
I hate asking for prayers, as I have been questioning (at the very least) my faith over the last few years. But it is definitely bringing me comfort right now. And my good friend's husband (who is a pastor) says God will not hold that against me.
So if you don't mind, please pray or send all of your good vibes my way that this, through some miracle, is NOT cancer, and if it is, please pray that it is treatable. As I said before... Im terrified.
Thanks Pea Friends!
