Hi,  my pulmonologist just called...he met with some radiologists to review my case. He doesn't want to wait about the lung nodule. He is going to set up a PET scan to scan my entire body to see if I have any cancer going on.  This will be better than let's wait and see in a few months. This will definately be better than waiting that long. yeah

Hugs, Robin

I'm glad they are at least being proactive so you don't have to wait...

Is there a reason they are not wanting to do a biopsy to get a better look? This is usually how they would determine more about it being cancer/no cancer...

I know it's hard not to worry but there are actually quite a few reasons to have nodules and it not be cancer. I had a friend last year went through this and she is fine.

We will pray for the best...keep us posted...

Robin,

That is good. Always better, to my thinking, to have it done with. It will be what it will be, and knowledge is power.

Add me to the list of people who are glad you are getting this done right away.  This will give you peace of mind.  I'm praying for a perfectly beautiful PET scan....just like you!

I'm blessed to have my fibro family!!!

"Sometimes things fall apart so that better things can fall together".

I realize how lucky I truly am to have wonderful people in my life. Having health issues has made a positive impact on my life. I realize what is truly important...relationships. It has helped me focus on what I do have...being able to enjoy loved ones and just simple pleasures. Life has taken on a new meaning.

There is something good in everything...we must be willing to look for it.

Still waiting for the call...I'll keep you posted. Thanks :)

Hugs, Robin

Want a wonderful thing to think about?  Here is something I read several weeks ago.

 

What we are is God's gift to us

What we become is our gift to God

 

Even though we all have some pretty ugly illnesses, we are still pretty terrific people because we were made that way.  As you said, having the illnesses makes us even better, more compassionate, and we do know what truly is important in life.  It's not "things" we can accumulate but it's people we can appreciate.  I do appreciate you, Robin.  Such an inspiration!  I know you are touching many lives on this forum.

Sherine...Thank You for your kind words and sharing that wonderful message. Your positivity was evident from the first time I read this forum. You have always been an inspiration to me.

Good news....I am able to get in for the PET scan, this Monday...so thankful that the wait won't be long.

Have a wonderful weekend :)

Hugs, Robin
