Dodging A Bullet
After the stoke in November, a suspicious spot was accidentally found on a CAT scan. At the time nothing could be done. After waiting four months, yesterday was my appointment with a team of oncologists. I was prepared for them to want a biopsy, and it was right behind the breastbone (not an easy place to get at). Imagine my surprise when the team suggested I leave it alone! With no other symptoms, it may have been there since my birth, and it's a cyst not a tumor! I guess I was more worried than I thought about it and with four more months of hoping it wasn't growing, what a relief! A little more on left hand every day, but no strength yet. Little steps....no handwork yet. I'm hopeful every day.

Wonderful news! I am so happy to hear this! Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers!
ReplyDeleteHello, my friend! I miss you terribly and think about you often. Keep up the good work....you've got this!
ReplyDeleteBeing told they found something is very frightening. My husband had a scan for some reason and they found something on/in his lung (of course the scan was for something else) so they said we will just do another scan in 6 months. At the time is was bothersome but truly we had more pressing health issues so forgot about it until they called for him to repeat the scan. This time it was worse as we didn't have any other pressing health issues worrying us just this lung spot.
ReplyDeleteFor my husband who is 75 they decided it doesn't matter what it is did not change in 6 months if it is something bad it is too slow to be worried about.
It is just so yucky to hear you have a something
Now your energy can go to getting muscle and movement coordination happening when your brain says move here NOW
Dear Sharon,
ReplyDeleteHELLO MY FRIEND! I MISS YOU VERY MUCH!
Carol R. and I have just been texting this evening, and I share here with you my text to her in regard to her comment about "returning to normal".
I keep my fingers crossed and say a little pray that we will be able to return to our old “normal”. I look forward to the time when you, Sharon, and I can again enjoy a “First Tuesday” together. Chattering about everything and hopefully doing a bit of stitching as well! 😉
BIG HUGS and MUCH LOVE!
Jay (and Jerry sends His Love as well)
PS - Only 33 more class days (42 total work days until summer vacation). And YES, I AM COUNTING!
PPS - Blogspot & the computer have been fighting with me. This is about my fifth or sixth attempt to post this comment. I crossing my fingers and toes that it finally works this time!
Think of you often, Sharon, and the girls from the Endless Mountains Quilt Guild also remember you in their prayers and are waiting for the day when you can come back and teach us again! In the meantime, I wish you patience and healing!
