18298. Ms. No - 1/21/2006 12:15:52 AM Sorry, Ano, she's been happily married to my stepdad 19 years this July. ;-> 18299. anomie - 1/21/2006 1:15:37 AM And may they have many, many more happy years together.
Oh well... 18300. concerned - 1/21/2006 1:23:40 AM Re. 18295 -
Certainly not a smart intimidating man, who would be an asshole. 18301. judithathome - 1/21/2006 9:25:29 PM Yesterday my son got a shocking call...from an oncologist. Seems his blood work from a recent bout of pneumonia was forwarded to this doctor because of something strange in the results. So he has to go in Tuesday for further tests and some answers.
This is very scary because his past dealings with oncologists...all of us are on pins and needles over this bizarre turn of events. 18302. alistairConnor - 1/21/2006 9:55:04 PM Hell Judith, that's a shocker. Is it likely to be a sequel to his previous woes? 18303. judithathome - 1/21/2006 10:50:59 PM We're trying not to think that...but it could easily be.
He's been considered cured for the last 18 years; before that, they would only say "in remission". But since he is one of the few from that time period to still be around, they haven't much in the way of stats to say what damage might have been done by the chemo drugs so they just don't know.
The only thing saving my sanity right now is that I feel if it were something really dire, they would have hospitalized him right away and done the tests there. 18304. RickNelson - 1/21/2006 11:10:19 PM sorry judith, I offer my best thoughts for your son and family. 18305. arkymalarky - 1/21/2006 11:38:23 PM Oh my, Judith. Please keep us posted on how things go and give our best to your son. 18306. judithathome - 1/22/2006 12:02:50 AM Thanks guys...appreciate it! 18307. wonkers2 - 1/22/2006 12:56:12 AM We're keeping our fingers crossed! 18308. anomie - 1/22/2006 1:40:48 AM Judith, hoping the best for you. 18309. thoughtful - 1/22/2006 5:09:22 PM Judith, so sorry to hear about your son. We know what that emotional roller coaster is like. Sending my best courage, strength and healing wishes to you and your son. 18310. PelleNilsson - 1/22/2006 7:20:30 PM I was sorry to read about your worries, Judith. 18311. prolph - 1/23/2006 10:41:05 AM Judith @ home. I have added your sun to my morning list which I address
to the galaxcy. My list started long ago when a gentleman closed his speech by telling the ccrowd the he was 84 and hoped we would pray for him we we woke up,
that way, he said,, the prayer might help him but it would surely be better to think of someone other than your self when you first wake up. Patsy 18312. wabbit - 1/23/2006 1:40:34 PM J@H, best wishes for your son that all is well. 18313. jayackroyd - 1/23/2006 1:51:24 PM Please do keep us posted Judith. Our hearts are with you. 18314. PsychProf - 1/23/2006 2:27:24 PM Same for me Judith. 18315. Magoseph - 1/23/2006 2:37:06 PM I'm in touch with Judith most days, so she knows how I feel about her present worries.
Last Thursday, Flex had a chest x-ray to determine whether his broken ribs were in danger of puncturing his lungs. I must say that I’m surprised how the pain pills affect his mood. Anyway, according to Flex, I’m a good nurse, barber, shopper, driver, and entertainer--in my words, I’m just a very obedient wife, for the moment anyway.
18316. judithathome - 1/23/2006 10:09:25 PM Thanks, everyone...he goes to have tests with oncologist tomorrow.
And Patsy, your post warmed my heart so much! 18317. Ronski - 1/24/2006 3:11:44 AM judith,
I'm sorry to hear about your worries and I hope all goes well. As you probably know, tests turn up all sorts of things; sometimes they're just plain wrong, and other times they can detect things that seem wrong but turn out to be indicative of nothing serious at all.
