Let me say first of all all of your thoughts and all of the hugs have helped. Yesterday was very tough. I got a call at 4:30 from the Plumonary Specialist I have a appointment today at 3:15. I was so glad they called I don't know how I could sit and wait another day. I am not sure what the appointment is for. If it is for the biopsy or just to meet with Dr. I am going to give them a call later this morning. The girl I spoke to yesterday wasn't sure.

Thanks again everyone, (((((((Kathy))))))))

HI, I am so sorry to hear of all of this happening to you. I too had a similar experience in 2004. I was 26 and they found a large mass with blood flow through it on my cervix. I had to wait 2 weeks to find out if it was cancer or not. They sent me down to the Vanderbilt Cancer center to meet with a specialist. Walking through the doors was the scariest thing I had ever done. I cried just thinking about it. I had an 8 month old daughter and all I could think about was her. BUT.....I had good news delivered to me from the specialist...she was 99% sure that it was not cancer after looking at my biopsy. So they treated me for endometriosis and It started to shrink. The reason I told you this is because it can come back to be good news, just because they suspect it doesn't mean 100% that you have cancer. I will pray for you and your husband and may God give you the strength you need. Let us all know how things go!

Kathy, the wait after that test must be horrible. Please keep us updated. I can't believe you have been suffering with these illnesses like this.

Hey girlie, I just got back from a lung CAT scan myself. Has anyone mentioned possible Sarcoidosis? I'm not a doctor, but I had such bad bouts of Sarcoid I thought I was dying. They've been doing annual x-rays to compare the nodules on my lungs (that's what showed up on films, suspicious spots) to see if it gets worse. But the last 2 surgeries I woke up practically strangling the person standing over me because I couldn't breathe. It was awful. After band removal, they did another chest x-ray. But this time they freaked me out by mentioning "possible cancer" and wanting me to do a lung CT scan ASAP. I had the scan this morning. Same fears you have but I can't dwell on them, so I rode my Harley to work and wore jeans with lots of pink even though it's not Friday. Live life now is what I say. Neither one of us have cancer. Nope.

Please keep your hopes high and stress low. Go get a pedicure, spoil yourself. Hell, do like me and get a new Harley while the gettin's good!
