Hello all friends,

I haven't been on the forum for about a week, needless to say I have had the week from hell both emotionally and physically.

In this time I have been dealing with 2 different family crisis's involving a sister and my mother, my husband had a hypertensive crisis, I had my yearly mammogram on Wednesday and on Thursday morning I got the call for a return visit.

The good news as of today is both crisis's have been resolved with good outcomes and my husbands blood pressure is now stable with medication after an emotionally draining experience.

I am in need of prayers for my follow up visit tomorrow to the Breast Cancer Center. They told me that there is an area of concern in comparison to last years testing that requires a sensitive mammogram followed by an ultrasound. I am aware of all the statistics and what this could and could not mean.
Please say a prayer for me to get through this with a good outcome. I would like to say and hope to pray that this will be the end to a week of physical and emotionally draining feelings. I don't have much to give as I am tired and just plain worn out.

Thank you all my friends for your prayers, I sincerely need them.

With Hugs from Texas,

Pam

I'll send you good thoughts but don't forget: these pictures they take...are not perfect. That is usually why they do at least a secondary pic/test before moving to the painful options. I know its hard and scary but keep your chin up.

Dear Pam,

I am sorry that you have to deal with this on top or maybe in the middle of the other family issues you have had to handle. Can you say stress stress stress? I am so sorry!

Please keep a positive thoughts regarding the follow up appointment!!!! I agree with Joie1, they will be taking more photos and doing a ultrasound as you know. We girls have a load of fat stored there (ok that sounded horrible lol) so keep in mind all of the positive options xxxxx

Do you have your appointment date?

You have been so stressed out I have to tell you a joke so you can get at least a smile and if I am lucky a giggle.

The Wizard of Oz is the perfect chick flick. Two women trying to kill each other over a pair of shoes.... he he

I keep telling myself that I have to stop taking to weirdo's, but if I did I wouldn't have any friends left! he he


Blessings, Healing and LOVE!!!!!!

The waiting is the worst! You've asked for prayer so please know that I am praying for you. Good for you that you get your exam annually. Early detection is so crucial to the best outcome! Hope it all turns out well.

Dear SisterPam,
Just prayed for you and your family, thanking Him for you and asking His blessings on you while you wait, then have your tests. Thanks for giving us this opportunity to pray for you. Prayers will continue as we wait for for updates. This brings back memories for me and probably many others.

Blessings from N. Texas

Pam...I know personally your fears...both with BC scare/re-test and DH lifelong HBP/Heart issues.  The stress makes us appreciate and LONG for just those plain ole "bad days" don't they? 

When the storms pass (and they will) we are ever more thankful for life and loved ones.  I hold you in my heart and in my prayers, doll baby.  It's gonna be okay.

(((HUGS)))

Dear Sisterpam,
I'm with you in spirit, sending prayers. I'm glad you are posting. Back when I had breast cancer there was no forum. Having someone to talk with really helps, so keep on communicating. People here listen.

Hello Doll Baby...I'm on pins and needles waiting for your update post.  Do you know anything definitive yet that you feel up to sharing?  Your silence scares me.  Please don't isolate.  We're here for you, Pam.

All my friends,

I have good news to report! After a most stressful and long appointment, the radiologist finally gave me the good word, "All clear and normal, continue with yearly screens". Needless to say I was so relieved and I felt a blanket of solitude overcome me.

When I had finished my sonogram, I was waiting for the doc to come in after reviewing the pictures and tell me what this meant. So he comes in and says, "Do you understand why you are here today?" and I say "yes". By this time there are tears floating in my eyes because I know it's coming, the dreaded BC or everything is normal. He asks me to lay on the table again because he wants to look at one more view, so I do - he is talking with the sonographer now.

Now he says, "You can sit up" and I do. He looks at me and says, "Well, I don't have good news" and he pauses (now I just loose it and the tears become full fledged crying - my heart sank and I became lifeless), he says "I have great news, you are all clear and normal, there is no sign of cancer and you can resume with your yearly screenings". I was so happy but yet so very angry with how he chose to pause in between his statements. I said to him, "Do you realize by pausing in between your sentences what that did to me?" He said, "No and that he was sorry if I got upset". Talk about an emotional wreck.........

I thought I would share that because I am still a little angry at his choice of how he tells someone whether their life is going to be turned upside down.

I have great news regarding my hubby, his blood pressure is now under control with his additional medication and he feels so much better! (So do I!)

My family issues have resolved with good outcomes, so I can take a step back and breathe now.

I want to thank each and every one of you for your prayers, kind words, your well wishes and your thoughtfulness! It was much appreciated in my time of need!

I will be back on the forum shortly to catch up, hoping all of your lives have been blessed and touched and hoping your pain improves!

Warm hugs from Texas,

Pam

tongue   WONDERFUL NEWS!

 

I agree his "delivery" was assinine and proves my long held theory about the climate of medical dis-ease created by the folks we hold in high esteem as professionals.  Nuf said.

What wonderful news....now you have a weight lifted off your shoulders from the stresses of the past week. Such a sense of relief.

I do think the doctor was very out of line with the delivery of the good news.
Posted 4/8/2015 2:50 AM (GMT 0)
Yeah!!!!
Posted 4/8/2015 2:51 AM (GMT 0)
Hi SisterPam,

What fantastic news! I know how scary it can be to have a mass and not know whether or not it is cancerous.

For me, it was a couple suspicious thyroid nodules and some enlarged lymph nodes that were detected on an ultrasound. Fortunately, a more sensitive ultrasound revealed that they were indeed "normal" findings for the autoimmune thyroid disease that I have. But knowing that my doctor was concerned about possible cancer, the wait to have the second ultrasound, and find out whether or not I needed a biospy/what the masses were was very scary indeed!

I'm so glad that we both had good outcomes. Better safe than sorry, of course. But boy can those docs get us all scared over nothing!

Hope you are celebrating tonight!

so sorry i have been "in my hole" for the last week or so, and am just now seeing you needed prayers and i was not there for you i am however so happy everything turned out well. and shame on doc! maybe he needs to brush up on his bedside manner, esp considering the gravity of the situation. again, congrats on the fantabulous news! i couldnt be happier for you and your fam on all fronts.
Posted 4/8/2015 4:26 AM (GMT 0)
OMG Pam I didn't realize I have been holding my breath till you posted!!!! I have checked continuously.


I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!!!!!


I would have punched that snot nosed doctor right in the Beak!!! Not a joke and wouldn't have been the first doctor I have punched........ How dare he do that! Especially after he saw that you were emotional.

Thank the Lord I didn't attend that appointment with you... at the very least he would have had a brushed shin! (because I am 4'11 and may not have been able to reach his face....

I am so glad that your husband has his blood pressure under control. Apparently ..... he was not in that appointment room with you... thankfully.


Happy days happy days happy days! (and no I am not dancing naked but the thought crossed my mind lol) Hopefully now you can breath a sigh of relief because the last few weeks are behind you! Whooop Whoooop!

Hugs and kisses, hugs and kisses, hugs and kisses. Just saying I am happy for you doesn't begin to express how I feel. Thank the good Lord above you are in Texas and I am in California because you would be crushed and have slobber all over your beautiful face.
