I may be a bit premature with this but I choose to always look for the positive. The Radiology tech that did my scans told me that I would have the results back today sometime and then added with a smile " you'll be fine " So as I wait the actual results I have her off the record affirmation that my scan was just as good as my last one 14 months ago. Bless God.

Two hours later I find I got worked up for no reason at all. Nothing Absolutely nothing has changed since my last scan 14 months ago. I cried for an hour. The nurse told me there were changes. She told me the doc had to look at it and then she would call.  Dont they realize what an hour can do to us when they tell us there are changes. Dont they realize that change means your cancer is spreading. They think they are so much smarter than us and that we would not be able to understand thier reports.  Finally I called up and had her read me the report. NO CHANGES!!!!! The Doc called me on my way home from work and told me the good news again just so there would be no misunderstandings. I am thankful. It was scary. I am not ready to die. I am not even ready to be sick. I am so blessed. Ya'll have trouble wetting your pants or have to have catheters. I have a prostate. After coming back from 1 foot in the grave, the only thing I lack is a libido. My plumbing works, my dinky dont leak I have erections and now I am getting a break from hormones. They say I wil die before I reach 50. They said I would die 3 years ago. They were wrong then and they will continue to get proven wrong. GOD is on the throne people. That is for you too zufus.. I am sorry for ranting but I lost faith today. Pray it does not happen again. Todd

So sorry that such a seeminlgy innocent remark (from the nurse) caused you so much grief and heartbreak. It doesn't mean you lost your faith, brother. Any of us could contemplate how devestating the thought of pending bad news could be. Don't be so hard on yourself.

You are in a different class then many of us, the sword of death has hung over your face more than once, but brother, you could beating it, and you ware still with us.

The ultimate good news is so wonderful think about. So much to be happy about, and to celebrate. The fullness of it will surely sink into your mind and heart as soon as the trauma of the moment finishes abating.

Very happy for you, so very sorry it was presented in such a possibly ominous way. You are okay. And that is great.

Todd, I know what you're talking about. When the nurse called my house 11/2 years ago she told my wife that the doc wanted to see me about the test results I had. She told my wife, "He may have cancer." My wife was upset that the gal wasn't a little more positive about the attitude she projected. Oh, well. Chalk it up to lack of tact.
