I feel like the cancer is hiding right around the corner and will jump out at me at any moment. I don't think i'll ever really feel "safe" again, but hopefully I can feel confident that if it does come back I can go through it all again and beat it... again. :3:<br /> <br /> Dana, you are so sweet. In a way we do know each other. We are part of the same Family! :1: You are also in my thoughts and prayers and I hope you are feeling better after. Remember, I am only a phone call away! :3:<br /> <br /> Thanks to EVERYONE for their support. To me we ARE a family and family looks after each other and takea care of each other. If there is one thing I can do, it's listen. Sometimes all you really need is to talk with someone, give them your fears. I'll take yours if you take mine! :3: Lorna, I think we will be celebrating together in November. :1: I am in complete agreement that even when they tell you that you are ok, you never FEEL ok.

They think i'm cancer free, but this is my first check since i finished treatment. Hopefully the first week in november we'll both be celebrating. Its weird though, even when they say you're ok there is still the dread its lurking there somewhere, waiting to get you, like a said on my blog, i'd like a ct scanner installed in my living room please so i can reassure my self as and whan i need to.<br /> Thanks for suggesting the flicker thing, we photo documentryed the whole thing so i'll upload them soon. <br /> You know when you first get diagnosed adn the hospital give you all those really rubbish unhelpful leaflets about dealing with cancer, i think they should hand out some blog addresses too. I liked your photos, you look strong through out all your treatment and stuff. the internal probe radiotherapy thing sounds horrific, poor you. The thing that really gets to me is not being able to pick up my kids, they took out my stomach muscles with my sarcoma, and i just miss picking up my babies and swinging them round. x I have my ct scan on november fourth, and i hate those things, i think my least favorite machine was the bone scan one.

I go in for a CT Scan on Nov. 1st so I am hoping to find out then. I know i'll also have to have other tests run, but hopefully the CT Scan will give me some answers. lol<br /> <br /> The most invasive part of my treatment was the internal radiation treatments. Those were AWFUL. They wouldn't be so bad if I only had to have 1 or 2, but by the 6th one I was so sore and irritated that every second of the treatment was ERY painful. Demerol even stopped helping. lol<br /> <br /> It is SO helpful to know that you aren't alone in this and that there are people there for you you are in the same boat you are. I am so sorry that you are also a cancer victim. If you every want to talk or anything just let me know! I am just an e-mail or phone call away. :1: Hi Lorna!
