[Marie G]

Hello Ladies!! It is only Marie G calling upon you all for some encouragement and wisdom because I am Soooo scared. My honey is off his Taxotere, he is still taking his Herceptin, Tamoxifen and monthly Zometa for his stage IV HER2+/Inflammatory BC and Friday is his Petscan. We are both besides ourselves right now, do not get us wrong, we are excited about finding out what has been done during his 8 month fight, but terrified to look. He has fractured ribs and pelvis bones that were damaged by the cancer and they will be scanned in a few weeks, but the scan Friday has me in despair. If it is good, then what...?? If it is bad, then what..? We were not given much time at diagnosis, but he seems to have the upper hand with this and has tolerated chemo well. Help me girls, I am so depressed this week I feel like I am falling apart at the seams, and we have just begun our fight. I think the outside has given me more stress than his illness has and I have found myself short of tolerence lately. Here I am asking for support from you women who are actually the sick ones, but who better to beg for help?? You girls know what it is to have the disease and what you need and expect from your caregivers. I am so petrified and excited for Friday, yet I do not want it to come. I sometimes feel like I am whining to you girls, but what you need to know is how much "I" depend on you all, how I pray for you, and how my daily thoughts comprise many of your names and words of wisdom. Lots of Hugs & Kisses!! >>Waiting For A Miracle(or atleast some good news)>>Marie G
