I need to share my burden - Cancer: Lung Message Board

Back in Dec of 07 my chest x-ray showed what the doctor thought was scar tissue. I had a c scan in Jan just to get a better look. I was told to wait 3 months to have another one, I had it yesterday.

The doctor called me this morning and said it had grown a little, I go for a petscan Tue.

I'm scared to death and haven't told my husband or anyone since my first x-ray in Dec. My husband's first wife died of breast cancer and he had a really difficult time. I just don't want to worry him or anyone in my family by sharing this.

Just wanted to share my feelings

We are here to support you in any way we can. However, I really think you should tell you husband what is going on. I am sure he would be very supportive and help you to not be so terrified.

I wish you well and hope the pet scan comes out clear. My thought and prayers are with you. Keep us updated.

Thank you so much, it's nice just to put this in words.

I know I should tell my husband but I really want to wait until after the Scan Tue. He is so emotional about things I don'twant to worry him until I know for sure what's going on.

So how are things going there Skygirl? How did your test results turn out?
I hope you have shared this with your husband now.

I hope things are going well for you and my thoughts and prayers are with you.
