Muenkel 0 #1 February 25, 2006 Excellent news. Everything was benign and there is not anything that is pre-cancerous. This is a huge relief for my family who has sweated this one out for about 2 months. Thanks so much for your thoughts, vibes, prayers, posts and pms.

RevJim 0 #11 February 25, 2006 My mother-in-law went in to get the results of her testing Wednesday morning. She got home today, after 3 days of intensive chemo. I believe they said "small cell cancer". Bone and liver. 2 months to live without treatment. Luckily, this may have worked. The bone portion is already to an undectable level, and the liver spots are shrinking. We know she's not out of the water yet, but they did upgrade her from a 60% chance of remission to 85%. All this because for the last 2 weeks she's been having problems walking (weakness in the legs). People. People. I don't care if you have insurance or not (she didn't), if something doesn't seem right, GO TO THE FUCKING DOCTOR! She wouldn't have, had we not insisted.It's your life, live it!

I hope this brings more prayers/vibes to your families. While the focus of this thread was specifically about my mother and her ordeal, I hope it brings awareness about the millions of people who will not get that good news. I just read today about Sheryl Crow being diagnosed with breast cancer. She had a great statement; "I'm just one of 200,000 women who will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year." My hope after going through this ordeal and sharing it with the dz.commers is that maybe the ladies here who have been neglecting regular mamograms will schedule one immediately.
