Thanks for getting back to me and for the words of encouragement. My pulmonary dr ordered a brain mri due some tingling in my arm. I had it done Saturday and the results got posted to my online patient portal today. I want to look but just can’t. My pet scan is Saturday and biopsy Monday. 60th birthday next Tuesday. It’s just so hard because I lost my mom a year ago on thanksgiving day and my girls were very close to her. This news will tear them apart. I pray constantly for strength and will include you as well. I mean that,

What was your experience with your previous cancer?

You've been through so much! This life is not easy, it's hard. If the tingling in the arm is the only reason he ordered the brain mri, I don't feel the brain scan is going to show any cancer. But this is just my feeling. I think you would be having more cognitive problems than just some tingling in your arm. Isn't it almost a curse that they put that stuff online so you can look? I mean it's good in many ways but I know what you mean. I don't want to look either but I'm also going to want too! I get my pet scan on friday. I hope it actually doesn't even get posted until the following week. I think you should tell your girls, I think you should let them be with you through this and support you, and have their shoulder to cry on, but not only that, you need encouragement and love right now! I just turned 52 in May. My mom just went through kidney cancer, it's been a rough year, and then to find this out! I'm trying to think positive but it's a little hard. It feels like everything is just crashing down. And I appreciate you keeping me in your thoughts and prayers, and I will do the same with you too. I really understand where you're coming from I have three kids of my own, and I raise my five year old granddaughter. She's been through so much already, looking at her makes me want to crack up thinking something might happen to me. But we both have to remember that there is so much they can do now for cancers. And it's so targeted!! So try to stay hopeful and have faith. If you want to talk anytime send me a message!!
