Joined: Jun 2005 Posts: 49 | hello all,
I will be visiting the radiation mediciine dept. tomorrow for a check-up. It has been 10 1/2 months since radiation was completed. As with every doc visit the week before I lose sleep, get really emotional and grouchy. I just wanted to ask everyone out there to pray that everything is fine.

Many prayers are being sent your way! It is hard to trust and have peace when the tests get close and you just want to turn your brain off and quit thinking about it for a while! There's a great book called "Dancing in Limbo" written by an oral cancer survivor that really helped me learn to cope with the fear. Use the OCF Amazon link to read about it. Love, Kris

My thoughts are with you we all climb walls at the time of a check, so while you are swinging from the ceiling REMEMBER I am with you...
Sunshine... love and hugs
