First, thank you all for you thoughts, prayers and positive vibes. No one in the world can understand this waiting game except you. I am so blessed to have this family!

I got some good news from my onc by e-mail last night at 10:24 pm. We still have not heard from the thoracic surgeon but all blood test came back good including tumor markers and the alkaline phosphatase (elevation could show bone mets).

I am feeling confident now that it is the old fractures causing the uptake on the bone scan and the pain (which is getting better daily). Just reading Becky and Sassy's post helped.

Not out of the woods but I can see the blue sky again. Hugs to all of you.
