Re: Freaking Out! Abnormal chest xray after 7 years

Keeping you in my thoughts and sending you some calming energy! I can imagine how you feel ... I just had a follow up yesterday (4 month schedule I am on for the next year and half) and I think my blood pressure soars even to go in for the scans and my lung x-ray. Thankfully mine was clear and I got good news, but I know how it feels living with it. Sorry, but cancer sucks!

Let us know what the docs say after your CT scan ---- remember to breathe!

Karen
