Bad Scan....
 
I hate it when I get a call at work from the oncologist....

Sounds like it's BAAAACK, new 16mm spot in liver, and possibly something in my spine. I am so upset right now. I guess I knew I wouldn't get to stay in remission forever, but I was so hoping to get a much longer ride.

On to a bone scan, blood work and more chemo.

Just as I was trying to be NED and qualify for the UW vaccine trial.

I am so bummed. Believe me, I do not have that smiley face in my picture right now.

Oh, Chrisy! Rot! I'm so very sorry that you've another battle to wage. I'm believing that you will be NED in record time! Thinking good thoughts for you. Mary Anne

Chrisy, Oh how my heart breaks for you. I am just so sorry to hear you have to deal with this again. How I truly wish there was something I could do for you. I will be praying hard that whatever they see on your spine is anything BUT cancer. It really could be degenerative disk diease as I have in my spine, or something else. I pray you get good news on that one. I can only imagine how your feeling right now. Please know we are all here for you. Please keep us updated and let us know the results of your bone scan.

Sending warn healing thoughts and prayers your way.

Dear Chrisy


I am so sorry that there has been a blip in the road. But it is just a blip. I am sure you will have a plan of attack asap. Are you going to make an appointment with Hope Rugo? If she is hard to get into see, maybe you should make the appointment now and by the time all your scans are done and you have a plan with your oncologist, you can see her and see what she has to say. I am here for you. Private email me if you need to.

Hugs and kisses to you from me.

Love,

Joy 03-27-2007 05:18 PM

those stupid phone calls
 
I know those calls and they shake you to your core. I'm so sorry. I know you know that there are so many things you can do and you will do fine, but geez, NED is the place to be. I'm thinking of you so much and look forward to hearing your plan of attack! So much love to you!

As hard as this news is, never let anything wipe that beautiful smile from your face....you are a fighter, I could sense your strength when I met you...it is another hill to climb, but you will climb it and reach the peak, looking down on this nasty lesion being gone. Let me know if I can do anything to distract your mind and thoughts right now, if you need to talk or just need someone to make you laugh....sending you a big hug and lots of prayers and love,

Hi Chrisy,
I'm so sorry that you received that call. You have been almost NED for a period of time. That is maybe a good sign that the treatment you receive will knock it back again.

I was also unhappy a year ago when I had to go back on chemo. I was hoping that the Herceptin would keep things under control.

I wish you the best with your new treatment and hope it won't be long before you can take another break.

Best regards,
Barbara H.

Hi Chrissy,

I'm so sorry for this news. I am praying NED is soon, soon in coming.

Hugs,

Mary Jo

So sorry to hear this Chris my heart goes out to you tonight. I am getting scanned this week and my gut feeling tells me its not going to be good this time. I will find out on Friday. I hate the waiting. Can you have ablation? Sending you a wrap around hug filled with lots of prayers for a clean bone scan. Keep us posted. I can still see that smile. hugs, Sandy

Lolly 03-27-2007 06:06 PM

Chrisy, I'm sorry. I just wish we could all get clean scans for once.

Hang in there kiddo, you'll rally and then watch out, cancer, 'cause CHRISY'S BAAAAAAK!!

Dear Chrisy,

I just can't imagine you without that smile! It jumps right off my laptop.
I am sad to hear your news. Please know that I am thinking only positive
thoughts for you. You are a strong fighter - so I know you will come
back and kick butt. Get those shoes on!

Hugs,
Jean

Chrisy,

So sorry to hear the news - keep fighting the beast, we are all hoping that your dance with NED is just a step away!!

All my prayers and thoughts are with you,
Caya

Bev 03-27-2007 08:12 PM

Sorry Chrissy. I think if it were my phone it would be in a couple hundred pieces right now. (Especially at Work) You might have to take the handset to the restroom to finish it off. I know that awful feeling when your gut hits the floor.

I'm hoping whatever got you NED in the first place will get you back so you can do the vaccine.

It stinks to have to go to round 3, but I'm hoping the docs can bring that smile back. Bev

Chrisy,

I am sorry for the not too great news. However, you responded great to your previous chemo. You will kick it on its butt again!


Hugs and Prayers,
Lexi

hutchibk 03-27-2007 09:37 PM

Chrisy - love and prayers. I hate those calls too. Whenever I get news that scares me, I read Tricia's signature and how she has perservered all these years, challenge after challenge, and I become re-inspired! You will find something in the arsenal to battle this. Stay strong!

Erin 03-27-2007 09:47 PM

I am so sorry....there is really not much else to say besides what everyone else has said. Hang in there...have a good cry and know we are all here to support you.

Grace 03-27-2007 10:18 PM

Dear Chrissy,

I'm so very sorry.

Sherryg683 03-28-2007 12:44 AM

Hi Chrissy, I know you are very upset and I am so sorry that this has happened. I have been NED for a year and just fear the day when they tell me it's back. One thing with us being NEd for so long is that all our chemo options are still open to us now. What worked on you the first time can be used again and hopefully with great success. I guess we just have to be ready to get back on that horse and fight again at any moment. I know it's not fun, but it's our life. My thoughts and prayers are with you..btw..who is Hope Rugo? I have pretty much decided that if my cancer comes back i might check myself into the Cancer Center of America, they seem to pamper the heck out of you and boy could I use some pampering...sherryg683

Chrisy:
That was not the news I wanted to hear either. GRRRRRRR. You'll beat it back again. You will.
Love
Linda
