I was dx stage IV last March too; I know how hard it is too keep it from your son. There's times I just want to burst into tears in front of him and sob away, but I too, hold it together until he won't know.
I'll be praying for your scans. I had a 3 week headache in January and thankfully, an MRI came back clear. My markers are normal, so my onc wants to wait until May for more scans; the last set was Dec 26th. I'd like to have them weekly at this point!
I know you're petrified and you have a right to be. But don't forget, the scans may be clear. There's just as much a chance of them being clear as not. And if they're not, you caught it and can begin treating it. But you know as cancer patients we'll never stop imaging that it's coursing thru our bodies and we could even have things like ankle cancer; that's just the way we are! So, fists up and be sure and let us know how it goes next week. Have a good cry now and then; I think it helps to clear us out!
