Guest guest Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Hi Everyone ! It has been awhile since I last posted. I have been trying to get caught up on things that I had put off while being ill with cancer. I wish the Dr's would have informed me that my fingernails would fall off as well. A few have already snapped off with a few more almost ready to fall off too. It's hard to type with a wiggly nail hanging around. The GREAT NEWS is... I am now officially CANCER FREE ! YEA! The PET scan along with the pathology report show NO signs of cancer. I will continue to be monitored for a year by doing colonoscopies. I am gaining weight slowly and growing my hair back . My hair is about 1/2 inch and I weight 134 lbs as of today. I do however have some not so good news...the chemo and radiation has caused severe internal abdmoninal scarring and damage that it will be a very long time before my insides are healed. I will continue to be on pain meds as a result of. Each day I get a little bit more stronger and have more energy. I do have days of pure exhaustion. It has been a long long period of illness that I do not wish on anyone to have to endure. I have a new sight where CANCER is concerned now and understand how others deal with it. I will continue to visit the cancer center monthly for myself but for others as well for support. I had the honor of meeting and making a few friends along the cancer path from this clinic. I continue to talk with on a regular basis. I even met a nice older man with the same name as me, can you believe that? Same spelling also. He was also going thru the same kind of cancer as me and in the same area to say the least. Denny and his wife are really great people and so are the other friends there that I have met. It has been a tiring, trying time for me the latter part of last year and the few months this new year so far. I really feel like I have missed so much. I am so Thankful and Grateful that I am now cancer free. I am also so glad for the wonderful support,love and comfort that this group gave to me. Thanks a million to you ALL. I am posting to both groups since I do not know who all is in the Healing group. Love to you all ! Thanks for the support ! Denny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
