Hello there blue and all my lovely friends,
Blue I wanted to hear your good news before I laid my horrid news on you all. Fibro permitting whilst I type this, I need to let you all know why I havent been around for such a long time.
I have been having lots of gastro problems, very delicate so I won't discuss - or disgust - you with the details. On the CT scan of my tummy, part of my right lung showed up and became cause for concern. After extensive testing, I have been told that I might have lung cancer now. Hey ho !! My fibro is kicking me to high heaven, my SLE flares are real bad too.
There have been two attemps to get some biopsies and fluids from my lung. Neither were successful so I have to have a further scan and then see the Consultant who has already said that I have to travel to a mainland hospital and go under and have it done. Worrying in itself because of my lupus, heart and kidney problems and also with my blood clotting disorder.
Can't stay long, just wanted my dearest friends to know where I am and what is going on. Anybody's fibro need a buddy for a little while ?
I miss you all so much. Take care everyone. I will be back !!

Golden my sweet friend, I am so glad to here from you. Sorry about the news but let me tell you a story about braveman. He had the CTscan done and it showed three places on the right and two on the left lung. He was finished with his cancer treatment and all was suppose to be clear. So off to the pulmonologist we went and more tests. The second set of scans and tests showed nothing absolutely NOTHING! It seems sometimes the CTscans can show up spots and things one time and the next time they will be gone. We are saying prayers that will be the case for you.
Your fibro can come visit mine and play as long as it wants. Sending more warm blankets to wrap you in and help you heal. I have had a lot of positive, loving energy around me lately and I am sending it your way, sharing it with you.
Love ya!
Glojer

Hello there Glojer,
Thank you for sharing braveman's story. As I have said before, "might be" are two big words at the moment. I am counting the days until my next CT scan. The ultrasound I had done was to "X" mark the spot to go into my lung. Only thing is, twice they tried to do it and twice nothing would come out. So this is why I have to be put under and have it done this way.
I always know that I can get reassurance from you because of the situation that braveman was in. Remember, when I had to blood clots ? Braveman had had them too. He's my buddy hee hee !! I do admire him so much. You too. You have gone through all of this with him and still you have time to come and reassure me. I am truly lucky to have friends like you all.
Take care and I will speak to you soon.

Hi Goldie,
I am thinking about you and praying really hard for you. God has just given you another mountain to get by, he will see you through this.
Blue is shrinking that mass or whatever and I am believing this to be true. I will meet with you both on the mountain for a cup of tea, some laughs and sharing our lives together. It is hard to beieve that one can consider people you have never met to be true friends, but you, Blue and Glojer are just that too me.
The three of us wll be with you as you go through your tests etc. just beware that the presence you feel is only us. I know Blue will be tickling you, I will rub your back and Glojer will hold you tight.
Love, Linda

I have packed off my fibro buddies for a while, but must say some still insist on staying though. My head feels as though it is wrapped in a vice, fibro can do that though can't it ?
I travel to the mountain in my mind, I see and feel the healing that will take place.
Thank you

Hello again everyone,
Just to update you all on what is happening.
Got a call this morning telling me to go into hospital on Saturday so that my bloods can be brought under control, darned tummy heparin injections. Because of the complications of all the other things I have going on, I have to be in for 5 days before my colonoscopy - drat it !! I told them I can do my heparin at home, but they said "NO" you have to come in. Thought I could get away with another in-stay before going over to the mainland hospital - no way though but never mind. The CT scan of my lung has to be done whilst I am an in-patient too, never rains but it pours.
My darling husband is just relieved that things are going to be under control for me. Poor love once again I am going off and leaving him again. Good job he is so self sufficient, he has to be at times ! He is due to go to a motorbike show that he had made arrangements to attend a while ago and he was going on his bike. Because of my unexpected news, he will now have to take me to the hospital in the car and catch a later ferry and drive to the show in the car instead of going on his motorbike.
Thought I would let you know the latest.
Take care everyone.

Hi Goldie,
Well consider your hospital stay a vacation, no cleaning, cooking and some else makes your bed, lol.
I wish you the best of luck and you will be in my prayers as always.
So glad you have a husband that cares enough about you to want to be with you. That is great. My husband is the same way and I appreciate that.
Love, LInda

Hiya everyone,
My fibro is having a real hard dance on my body today. Wow, have a vacation please ! On top of that I had a telephone call this morning from my doctor at the hospital as I left him a message to say I was concerned about what was happening. He said that the tummy jabs I was railing against doing in the hospital and not at home are in fact not tummy jabs, but 24 hour infusions of blood thinnners before my procedure on Thursday.
Why they got the information wrong is beyond me. It has caused me a lot of anger and worry. Ggrrrr - wait until I get into hospital tomorrow !!
Speak to you all soon.

Golden, I am just now getting a chance to catch up with the boards. I will take on your stress and let my little puppy, Sadie, have a go with it. Right now she is trying to demolish a stuffed dog toy. Poor little thing has been in her kennel several hours a day for the past few days and her energy level is out of sight. Send your fibro buddies and that pesky stress across the pond and let Sadie run them around a bit......I guarentee they will come home dragging their tails behind them.....that is what's left after she has a go at them.
Prayers and love to you and compassionman. You will be always in my prayers.

Hiya everyone,
Good news - no lung cancer yaaay !! I am seeing a surgeon on Thursday to discuss options of how best to remove the 'mass' in my lungs, so I will take it from there. I had to have 5 days of heparin infusions stuck into my arm, so I guess it will all happen again for my surgery. Yuk !
The stay in hossy was fraught with problems, but at least I had all my biopsies taken from other parts of my old bod after a few hiccups with the treatment beforehand. I am really very tearful and feeling low, though I am over the moon to be free of cancer. Strange the way we react isn't it ?
Glojer, yes not tv, computer or telephone - only if I wanted to pay a small fortune to have it installed. Can't complain though, all my treatment - and that of the rest of the UK - is free so I don;t suppose they can stretch to entertainment. Enough antics of other patients going on to keep the rest of us amused at times.
Thank you all so much for your love and thoughts. Compassionman so appreciates it too. Take care and I will speak to you all soon.

My dearest friend Linda,
Wow are you still awake ? It is 11.00 am here and I have just replied on the thread. Such a ovely and quick response from you. Thank you so much for your prayers. They worked. I am not a church goer, nor religious, but I do so appreciate it when others turn to their faith and ask for help. 3 times I have gone through that same uncertainty and now I am free of the fear, I can relax a little.
My FM is having a good old hard dance on me too, wonder if it is the time of year ? We do so much at this time - if we can - and it is stressful.
My husband still hasn't found a job yet, he has had written and telephone interviews, then second face to face ones but they come back the same. I think it is age related, supposed to be illegal but it is rife I feel. He is 'over qualified' for some positions, but if he wasn't interested he wouldn't have applied in this first place. He is in quite good spirits though having gone through all of the worry with me - again - with all that has been happening. I would be lost without his love and support.
Take care my friend and have a lovely day.

I will pray for your husband to find a job also. I am not a church goer but my beliefs in God are in my heart and I do pray and glorify his name every day. When I read your post that there was no cancer I praised God for a answered prayer.
Bet Glojer and Blue are snoozing away.

Oh golden I am so happy to read the news. It is 1:30p.m. here and I guess I have been asleep for days cause I just now picked up on your post. I've been on the boards but missed this wonderful news altogether. I am dancing a jig with my little sadie. She doesn't know what is going on but that's ok.
Prayers are answered, and I pray for you and compassionman everynight. I have really been out of the loop, cause I don't remember compassionman not having a job. Well, I sort of remember something about that. There has been too much happening around me and my memory and attention span has taken a turn for the worse.
This day I will remember though and offer up prayers of thanksgiving for the good news from my friend Goldenwings. Love to you and compassionman.

My dear Island friend, I didn't know all the problems you have had
until they were better. I too praise God for His healing power. Golden,
God knows every cell in our bodies and in Psalms He says, ''we
are fearfully and wonderfully made.'' In my profession I had a chance to see
just what that verse meant. Many people who should never have left the
hospital, walked out to live many quality filled years
I will write your husbands name in my prayer book next to your name and
I will pray every morning and night that he will find a good job, one he really
likes.
I could sure use a cup of your tea right now and just listen to you talk.
You are a joy to this board because we all listen to you. Maybe one of you
would wrap a soft blue blanket around my shoulders and maybe my
knee would quit hurting for a little while.
Lots of love from Alabama.....Bilij
PS.You don't have to go to church or even believe in Him because He made
you and He loves you just as much as He loves me and I've gone to church
all my life. It's not about us, it's all about Him.

Hiya glojer,
Thank you for your lovely and uplifting words. I know the feeling, things get on top of us in our minds, we multi-task too - we are women though hee hee !! that's what we do.
My fibro is really having a good time lately too. As I said previously, it is not the time of year to be able to relax. I have just promised myself that I will sit in a comfy armchair and have a cuppa - some hope !!
I am not having surgery either. The operation is too risky and involves such a lot of work. The 'mass' in my lung can stay there, it is not likely to turn nasty the surgeon said as it has been there a while. Why it wasn't picked up on sooner I will never know, but hey ho things happen.
The surgeon was a wonderful chap, made things very clear and explained why he didn't want to put me through the trauma and pain and infection and so on of surgery. Made up for my appointment being 2 hours late.
I do so hope you and braveman are doing ok. How is he these days ? Such a wonderful example I feel you both are. Have a fun filled Christmas and all mine and compassionman's best wishes for a Happy and Peaceful New Year to all of your family.
My gardener is here to do some heavy weeding, she is so robust even in this weather she just gets on with it. Must make her a hot drink too. Oops, compassionman has joined her, he is doing more chatting than weeding though hee hee !!

Oh to be gardening! We had 8 inches of snow yesterday! Our little Sadie loves it, can't get enough of it. We don't love it though it makes such a mess and when she comes in we have to get the snowballs off her furry little legs. That has kept us busy. It is so nice though to snuggle in while old man winter paints such a pretty sight outside.
I have been enjoying my cuppa's a lot lately. Braveman and I were big coffee drinkers all our lives, but when he had chemo it changed his taste for coffee. I didn't drink it much either for a long time but with this colder weather I have been enjoying it so much. I will think of you when I set down to savor a cup and we can be enjoying our cuppa's together.
Braveman is doing so well, thank you for asking. He has had his gastric tube removed and the hole is finally healing. I told him he looks like an alien, it looks like he has two belly buttons....tee hee! He will be seeing his oncologist this coming Wed. and we hope the news will still be good. He had tests done last week to see if his cancer is still in remission. He still goes to physical therapy twice a week. Poor guy is having more joint and muscle pain these days from his dermatomyositis, it is the weather I'm sure.
My fibro is trying to sneak up on me. My lupus like joints are giving me plenty of fits lately. Braveman ask me this evening how I was doing with my joints and the pain, he said he noticed I was staggering a little. I had a post on that, I sure have been staggering lately. Don't know how much of it is fibro and how much is sinus problems. I did get to do some exercises the other day and it felt good, I just need to be more consistent.
I am so glad to hear that you won't have to experience the trauma of surgery. It is so hard to recover from and so hard on our fibro. I am glad the surgeon gave you good news about the mass. I will continue to keep you in my prayers. I hope compassionman got a little gardening in with his chatting, it seems that's the way I do things....mostly chatting and a little working.

hi girls,
goldie i am so glad you are not having surgery. i will continue to focus on shrinking it.
bilij, dear southern belle how nice to see you here. glad you are doing okay.
snow glojer? ouch. you stay warm. winter has a way of painting our pain all pretty with snow, rain, fog, sun and wind.
lets all run away to the mountain for a visit. it is cold there so i will ask rod to build us a nice fire on the hearth. we can sit all warm inside and watch the lake reflecting the sky. cozy chairs, warm blankets and even a rocker for dear bilij. goldie you bring the tea and i will bake goodies for us to gorge on. fibro won't find us there. fibro does not know the directions to the magic land of imagination.
love to you all,
blue

My dearest bilij,
Gosh, how on earth did I miss your post ? I am so sorry I did. It is wonderful to read your beautiful and uplifting words. I can picture you every time you speak.
I will send you an orange blanket for warmth, spun with gold for richness and beauty which matches your very being.
Have a lovely Christmas my friend and please accept my love and that of compassionman for a wonderful New Year.
