Just had my scan at the Mayo Clinic was also nervous (my cancer is terminal) as I had different feelings within lung and stomach. Of course one always thinks the worst. Turned out everything was same.my scan was read and meet with Dr same day which helped me. Tumor stayed the same as did the nodules.get sick 8-10 days after treatments, which I get every 21 days, so I took holiday and skipping the next 21 days. Hoping I made good decision but my mind was tired of being sick. Prayers coming your way.

@richcolleen- I think that we have to decide for ourselves how much we can take before we step back and say, "hey now, that's enough for now". The night of my last chemo session my husband almost called an ambulance. If I had more scheduled I don't think that I would have been able to do it. Heal well, rest a lot and hopefully you will bounce back soon. What will you do other while you heal?

Thank you. Am glad yous is staying the same at least. LIke your attitude of time off because of being tired of being sick. This year has seemed to me one in which I need a month away from doctors and procedures. Have never had such a medical year. Tooth issues, cataracts with up-coming surgery, on-going back issues requiring epidural injections and of course the lung cancer. Figure will have my last cataract surgery sometime in October, or early November and then I am taking off for so R&R. Enjoy your time off from medical stuff. Prayers to you, too.
