Kelly,

Your Dr. sound like they are top of everything...since we are always fearful
once dx. that anything could be something. I am so sorry that you have
to go through this...but it does sound much better after your update.
Just keep on running and remember it is hard to catch a moving
target....I keep telling myself that as I run along myself, I will out run
this monster....

I will continue to keep you in my prayers.

Warmly,
Jean

Hi there. Everyone here is so special. I am SO GRATEFUL for finding this site and can't imagine being without it and without you all. Thank you for all of your help and encouraging words. I felt like I had fallen and a hundred angels came and picked me up.

I took yesterday to "recover" and get my mind back in order. My onc. nurse called and said they have all of the written reports and she just wanted to tell me that they really think that I had "nicked" a rib somehow, and that he really thinks I'm ok and not to worry. They will rescan it in a couple of months and don't expect to see a thing.

I'm going to take that and "run with it"- literally :-) Only problem- no rain today but it's FREEZING. Somehow I don't picture that being as uplifting....:-)

Love, Kelly

I had a chest xray after the bone scan that showed "a suspicious lesion" (hate those omnious words), but when I had a RIB xray, it explained in a second that I had a FX rib...seems that doesn't show up on most chest xrays, you need a specific rib xray...so I spent a week or so worrying about what turned out to be nothing. Hope this is the same for you.
