Angeleia:
Thanks for posting your feelings. I've been hesitate to voice my worries, but you've made it seem a lot easier.

You, all of us, have been through a lot physically and emotionally, so accept those down days. Having friends who have had the same experiences really helps to lift your spirts.
I'm glad you came here.

It might also be nice to look for a support group locally. Here in VA, we have a support orgization which has all different types of classes. I'm thinking about signing up for some so that I can meet other cancer survivors. You may want to look into that also.

Congratulations on your clear 7/9 Pet Scan. Try not to worry for awhile. Please continue to share when you need to...

I know that your post was a couple of days ago and this may be corny for you but I thought I would share, whenever my mom would have a day like that I would sing the song from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory-Cheer up Charlie. It is something that she would say to me and she told me that if I wasnt there and she had a bad day she would think of that and it would make her smile.

It might not be a song it could be just about anything that you could think of just to get you over the hump. I witnessed first hand the depression and anxiety that comes along with this disease. It is relentless, hang in there!!!

I'm glad to see your are doing better.
You may doubt me but, if you go back and read your posts you will see the same progression and success that I have.
It ain't easy!!
It's different for every person but, we are all here for you!!
Vent, laugh, cry spit or whatever...it's all part of recovery.
If just one thing is better tomorrow than today that is a good thing.
If I can offer any help or suggestions just ask.
Cheers,
Mike

Hey Mike longtime no see how the hell are you?

Debbie:
It would be nice if we were closer, but I'm just outside of Washington DC. However, talk to your onocology nurse; she probably knows of some support groups in your area.

My youngest son's best friend is finishing up his residency in Columbus Ohio and then him and his wife are moving to Roanoke Va permanently, The Hospital there gave him a great offer.

Dr. Mike, Thanks for that. I know that I continue to freak out every time I have a little sore or even sometimes a sore throat. I don't want to bombard my dentist with every little thing. I have gotten to where I will wait a few days and see how it feels. Most of the time they are gone within three days. some of them take a week. I have another 2 month check in two weeks and I think I get more nervous the closer it gets. I know, I am craxy. Life at my house has been crazy as well. Have not been on here as much since school started back and I am back to work.

Hi Angelina...first of all, you are NOT crazy. Normal? Yes...crazy? No....we all get nervous before are appointments in the beginning. We need time to have several appointments when they tell us everything looks good before that nervous feeling goes away. I'm still nervous, that's for sure!!

Just remember you have gone through a lot and you are a strong woman, give yourself some credit. How are things going at work for you? I hope nobody is saying stupid things to you anymore...I'm going to need to write a letter to them if they keep it up!!

Just keep your held high and remember that you're awesome:)

xoxo
