Enjoy Life


Well the good news is; I didn't light up as a Christmas tree all nice and shiny. The bad news; more testing and thus more waiting.


The waiting is really the hard part. Once you know you can just go and fight the bastard. But as long as you don’t know, you don’t know what or how to fight it. Even if you wear your best panties!
So last Friday when we went to Dr Nala she told us that although the PET scan didn’t show a whole lot we needed to do more testing because there were several spots that she didn’t trust.

So today (Monday) I will be going and will get my boobies squished, for real this time not like last time… Wednesday we have to go to get the results and Friday we have to get a biopsy done. And then we wait. Next Thursday Dr Nala will give me the news. At least I hope. Any news is better than no news...


Until then, since it is pretty hard focusing on anything at all lately (wonder why…?) and I have all these idea’s for things/stories I want to tell you in my head, but somehow they don’t make it onto the paper. That is why I’m gonna leave you with this great quote I found at my cyber friend Dolores’s blog: Moving forward with Alzheimer’s.  

There are 5 things in life you cannot recover:
A stone... After it's thrown
A word... After it is said
An occasion... After it's missed
The time... After it's gone
A person... After they die
Life is short. Break the rules. Kiss slowly. Love truly. Laugh uncontrollably. And never regret anything that made you smile, Enjoy Life…

So that is what I’m gonna do!


Enjoy all the sweet comments you left me in the last week, which made me feel so special, so loved and so much stronger. Enjoy my wonderful family who I can count on no matter how bad, cranky or desperate I feel. Enjoy my more than fantastic hubby, who makes me feel pretty even if I look like hell. Enjoy the farm where I am so incredibly proud off.  And enjoy my friend for life, crazy black stallion and give him a good rub!

And if Jones is a good boy maybe he can get a good rub too, he’ll enjoy that….

See ya Thursday!

Kim said...

Waiting is the worst. I would rather know and be able to deal than just sit and wonder. Last year I had a bad Mammo report - and they couldn't do another one for 3 weeks. So I freaked more each day. (The 2nd one was OK)
Hugs to you

The suspense is hard to wait on. I work with hospice volunteer doing respite care and know the drudgery of that wait.I love the quote you found.

I thought Stallion will give me a smile in the last picture.

Never mind, it will, after the result is ready.

Ricki Treleaven said...

I have been on break, and I am just checking-in with you. You have my prayers! I just went through something similar, and it ended up being fibrous tissue. We suffered through several days of not knowing, and that truly is the worst.

Sherry said...

I'm glad you were sent over to find me ... I've walked this walk. If you have any questions or you just want a good rant...send me an email.

I'm a 6 year and counting breast cancer survivor and I know exactly how the waiting game feels. Deep breaths...I think your list is wonderful! xo

Misty DawnS said...

I just found your blog, so I'm late, but I will keep you in my prayers. My cousin's wife, who is one of my best friends, is a breast cancer survivor, and I was right there with her through it all. I'll be checking back to see how you're doing. (((HUGS)))

Susan said...

I'm due for a PET Scan next Monday to see if I light up like a Christmas Tree for lung cancer. I am so scared and tired of waiting for an answer. I have spots in my lungs and they want to see if they are cancerous. I'm not happy that you have cancer, but I am so glad you're talking about it, because I have felt so alone! I hope it all works out for you !!!!

Poppy (aka Val) said...

Sending you all best wishes that the results are good, you are in my thoughts xxx

Unknown said...

You are in my prayers, and I just love the way your mind works. I so believe that positive thinking is extremely vital in any recovery. If you ever need a positive kick in your pretty panties, just ring my bell. Hugs and love to you my friend!
