Cancer Screening Results

[bebo67]

Just curious if you are into anything that relaxes you. Like meditation, or music or anything like that?

You should grab a pair of headphones and try some ASMR on youtube. I just recently came across it a few weeks ago and I find it insanely relaxing. I listen to it sometimes at work or in bed relaxing. Just search ASMR and mess around with some vids. But you need headphones or it wont be right.

100% music! I looked up ASMR. Certain sounds drive me insane! I literally wan't to punch someone out insane. Crunching, finger tapping, continues sighing, scratching.......long list. Never did say I was normal! I'm just choosing to put it out of my mind for now. If it's back, its back. I can't go back in time and change things. Tomorrow I might feel different, On the plus side? Im financially a little bit better then I was last time And as far as the wait times go.They are triple booking, with one CT machine, and population of 97 k.

- Been part of that community as long as I have been here. Some of the good ones have gone now due to idiots and such . Every night listen to something cause I am stressed to the max right now as my dad is going through the same thing as bebo.

haha yeah I find it annoying unless im in the mood for it. And only certain noises, once I find one that suits me, its good for a long time.

Ohhh actually forgot we are piloting this recently to cut down on wait times

We had a meeting about CT and MRI machines. And one thing that was brought up was Quebec. Their one machine only logged 8 hours a day when they should be run 16 hours a day. They had a wait list of 7000 patients

Our hospital is attached to a cancer center so I imagine we have a couple ct scans here but yeah usually populations of under 100k or less has 1 machine.

Sorry to hear that. Terrible.

I listen to ASMRmagic if you are familiar with her at all. She does talking and no talking ones so you at least have a choice. There was one girl I found who does all sorts of things like eating fajitas

I like the nails on a book cover type ones.

I'm really sorry that you are going through this, and really sorry for your dad too! I've learned a lot this past year when I was sick. I seen 20 somethings with new born babies pass away, middle aged and over 70 get diagnosed. I firmly believe we were put on this earth for a reason..each and every one of us. I have always believed that. Death is a very scary thing, because we don't know what happens after. And most people are too afraid to even discuss it. But it is going to happen to each and every one of us. Some of us know how we are going to go, while others don't. The most important thing is that while we are alive, that we do what we were intended to do on this earth. Make sure you take care of your mental well being. In a positive way. I'm glad that the community is helping you.

bebo67,
So sorry for the recent bad news and worry. I certainly hope it turns out to be shadows and a big old false alarm! God knows you've had more than enough on your plate to deal with in your life. Hang in there and know that you have tons of people praying and pulling for you and that has certainly got to count for something, don't ya think?

Take good care, girl! Good thoughts your way!!!

Ahh such a bad disease! I just found out my grandma has cancer in her brain and lungs. Shes in the hospital in Parry Sound right now and will be going up to Sudbury to see if she can have radiation to shrink the tumors so she can get a little more time. My dad asked the doctor what he can expect and the doctor said possibly a year if the radiation will shrink the tumors. But surgery is a no go given her age and where the tumors are.

She got dizzy and fell in the bath and she had heart surgery a few years ago so though it was related to that ..but they did a scan and found the tumors. She smoked for 50 years. And when asked if she was ok, her answer was "ive been preparing for this since I decided to be a smoker, I knew it was coming or it was very possible and I am lucky enough to got to 75 being a heavy smoker. Im ok with it"

She has always been the strongest one in our family.

So ill be heading up that way to visit her in a few weeks.

So sorry. That is my greatest fear. Cancer in the brain! I always think that when the prognosis is bleak, that its quick. Not to sound harsh in any way. She is the same age as my mother. I will keep you in my thoughts, and feel free to vent, cry, what ever you have to do in this thread! PS. I like her spunk!

 

[lockinlove]

Just curious. I know alot of people who battle cancer, have cancer scares etc end up changing their life style. Exercising, eating quite healthy. Did you do any of that?

p.s. thanks. Im happy that my grandma at least has been able to live pretty much a full life.. alot of people dont

 

[luck17]

I do not know you, but I will say a prayer for you. Big hugs!!

I've always been pretty active, and really anal about eating healthy. No dairy, processed foods, pork, canned foods etc. I did party every other Friday night when the kids were at their dads house though. My ritual was wine before I went out, rye and ginger and tequila shots while I was out. Most say I handled it pretty good! lol, But I stopped that probably 3-4 years ago. I do smoke, and I enjoy it, which is making it tough to want to quit. Im a closet smoker for the most part. Stress is a HUGE problem for most people, and that in itself can cause cancer. I stress way the hell out too much. I try not to, but its in me, part of me. It keeps me going. I will be 52 next January, hard to change those kind of habits. I make sure Im in bed before 11 and up at the crack of dawn. Sleep habits are very important.

 

[bebo67]

Well its 11:15 pm. I have 50 mg of prednisone in me, another 50 mg in 15 min..............and another 50mg at 6:30 am, with 50 mg of Benadryl. 150 mg of steroids Im allergic to the contrast. Its going to be a longggg night! CT scan @ 7:30 am. Tomorrow is going to be a weird day. Voting and this. Hopefully the bad news will be that Doug Ford got elected. On the plus side this will be over and I gained 3 lbs in a month!

 

[Jasminebed]

Please not Ford. I don't think the two things are related.

I hate prednisone, makes me so hyper and anxious.

Hope everything works out for you.

 

[bebo67]

Thanks! Im really jittery. Lol. Please let it not be Ford. I did a write up and the Sun and a few other papers grabbed it. Id post it but it has my name etc on it. Im in full political mode! Been none stop. This election has left me so angry over peoples stupidity. Harsh but no other way to put it!

I had another article that I was getting ready to send in and then they came out with Robs Widow news. So I didnt bother.

 

[bebo67]

Done! They decided not to do the contrast because of my reaction last time. My surgeon has immediate access to the results. I will phone their office in an hour to see what is next.

...and whatever the result is please post here too. Fingers crossed

 

[bebo67]

...and whatever the result is please post here too. Fingers crossed

Of course! I've gained weight so that's a good sign. And I have every digit on my body crossed.

 

[bebo67]

I left a message with receptionist/nurse, that if everything is fine I will just see him at next follow up. Only call if he needs to see me. Im going to bed, I have had only 4 hours sleep and Im coming down from the medication. He will call by 5 Im sure if the results are bad. Sleeeeeeeep

 

[LadyJelena]

Good luck Bebo <3 We all hope to hear relieving and good news! Take some rest

 

[Cody7]

Best of luck bebo keep your chin up and stay strong <3 x

 

[Supababe]

O ..... I’m nearly as nervous as you I bet.... hovering for news and praying it’s the good sort x

 

[bebo67]

Thanks guys, but I wont know until next week! He wont check, he wants to wait until they come to him for what ever reason. Im so cranky and tired. That prednisone did a number on my body, and I can't sleep. * Big sigh*

Well, then we just wait to next week Get your mood up. As you said you had gained weight and felt good so it does sound like it will be nothing

Prednison I ate like candy in periods for several years. It's tough not getting enough sleep but usually you don't feel that tired either. If it's just a few pills you have nothing to complain about ...but ok, accepted this time

Lol. It was 150 mg within 18 hours

 

[bebo67]

Lol. It was 150 mg within 18 hours

Made me cough like crazy too.

 

[Tirilej]

Made me cough like crazy too.

It healed your loungs though very fast

Ok, normal dose is 30 mg if you're in a bad shape so it sounds like you got a bit more. Then forget sleeping. Clean the house

Thats what I said.......Screw this and started laundry!

 

[bebo67]

Appointment for the results is next Friday, 11:10 am

 

[bebo67]

Well tomorrow at this time I will have my results. I have been quite busy the last two weeks, so really havent had time to think about it. But every once in a while anger and anxiety has crept in. I have seen so much in my 51 years of life. Homeless and on the streets as a teen, abused in every way possible, rich, poor. Seen an attempted murder, had a dead person at my feet. Raised two beautiful kids on my own. Worked and further my education, started my own business. Mingled with the elite and the poorest of the poor. This disease shows no mercy. It sucks everything out of you, both physically and emotionally, and it will take your soul if you let it. You're constantly in " I hope its not" mode. For all I have been through in life, I have never stopped fighting. I have never lost my integrity or my morals. I know some people on here think I whine too much, and that is fine. That is me fighting for what I believe to be right......I will not change. So I'm hoping for the best, but will fight if its not! Cheers and have a good day.

 

[geordiecolin]

Fingers crossed for you for tomorrow Bebo. I know only too well about that fecking evil disease

 

[Reelsoffun]

Good luck bebo, that's the really hard bit too the waiting, we found that especially difficult.

I don't want to hijack your thread, and please PM me to edit it all out if you want me too but I just wanted to give a little bit of our story and to highlight how much people need to "check" themselves regularly it could just save a life.

My partner was diagnosed with Grade 3 breast cancer last year and so far has managed to fight it, 100% down to the fact, she found a lump very early and got it checked. As it happens if she hadn't and had put it off and waited it would have been a very different story, as all we heard come out the doctors mouth at the time was "Grade 3" and "you have a very aggressive type of cancer "but you have caught it early" the fact shes not even 40 yet, was a shock to us really, your right it shows no mercy whatsoever

In sheer panic, we got things like a will sorted out and it was suggested we contact a charity that gives special days to people under 40 diagnosed with cancer for them to make precious memory's with their families and loved ones, ( our boy only being 5 ) in case the worst happens.

So we applied, and was granted our special day which was just 3 days away at a center parks, but it was just the ticket, we totally refused to give in to the worry and had a great time making memories that will last forever and taking a ridiculous amount of photos!!!

Since then we have had time to reflect on whats important in life and wanted to give something back to this great not so main stream charity so that it can continue helping families in these very difficult times.

My partner decided to give up chocolate for a whole month to raise funds and trust me shes finding it super hard she loves chocolate! who doesn't??

Anyway im not sure if this appropriate here but if its not i will remove it but here is the just giving page setup for the charity in question its called the willow foundation.

You do not have permission to view link Log in or register now.

She originally set a target of £100 which has been smashed already but now i have my heart set on raising them at least £500 so im asking if anyone would mind donating a few of there would be spins to this great cause.

I believe you can donate as little as 2 GBP and will all add up.

Thanks in advance.

Bebo, I truely hope you get good news tomorrow I can totally understand what your going through! Please let us know as soon as you can we're all behind you.

Everything crossed for you,

Steve.

Hi Steve. Thank you! Im really sorry that you and your partner had to go through this too. Mine was stage 3, grade 3, double negative and her 2 positive BC. It was very aggressive. I found mine early, but it still migrated to a lymph node with in weeks. I wish nothing but positive energy and blessings on your fundraiser.
Steve.
