Hello everyone, I trust everyone survived turkey day . Lol my thanksgiving was good. Lots of good food and time with my family. But frankly I glad it's over. I'd appreciate some good thoughts and vibes tomorrow. I am having a ca125 drawn. The last one was off the charts high, but it was drawn right in the middle of my lung crisis. Hoping that's the reason the ca125 was high, and not a recurrence of the cancer. Crossing my fingers . Goldie

I'll say an extra prayer for you, Goldie, that you'll have good results from your ca125 test!

Goldie, I'm not even the least bit concerned about your CA125. However I'll pray for you.

It was dementia day. Mother in law looked like something the cat dragged in. No teeth in her mouth, hair wasn't combed. My sister in law needs to pay a bit more attention to her mother. The other one Al was in good shape. His girlfriend my husbands aunt made sure he looked good. He said to me. What happens if I say the wrong thing or I forget what I'm saying. I told him it happens to all of us. You'll be fine. We fed him, paid a lot of attention to him and he started to come out of his shell. He said I actually had a good time. I said there you go just have to let loose a little. Mother in law sat by herself wouldn't talk to anyone. Spent some time with her. Husband never went to sit with his mother. He's tired of her complaining.

All in all it was a nice day

Goldie, sending positive thoughts and prayers and crossing my fingers and toes for good results on the CA125. Hopefully the last results were skewed by your condition at the time. Will watch for your results. You have done so much for all of us. I can't thank you enough and this is an easy request to fulfill.

Hi everyone...just need some advise with dealing with insensitive co-workers. Three years ago I was diagnosed with Leiomyosarcoma. I had major surgery, radiation & proton treatment. This Feb. I needed surgery again for a local recurrence. I go for 3 month follow-ups. Well two weeks ago my c-scan showed an increase in size of a lower lobe nodule and I will need surgery again. I meet with my surgeon on Wed. When I told my supervisor that I will need surgery again she said how long will you be out? Seriously? It's hard enough going through surgery again but to have someone say this to me? I can think of a few Italian gestures to give her. LOL

How about a 2 x 4 along side the head!!!!! I can't get over how insensitive people are----

So I had to look up what this cancer was. Always amazes me where these nasty little cancer zombies turn up----anyway I'm glad you came here to chat.

Does this person KNOW that it is C-A-N-C-E-R???????? I guess when you see your dr, make sure you get notes of the appt, and maybe shove it under this persons nose to read in black and white, what it is. I can understand wanting to know how long you'll need to recover so a replacement can be gotten; maybe she just said it the wrong way. Who knows? I really don't have any patience for these people anymore and no real ways to open up their minds and shut their mouths. Just know that you are welcomed here to rant and rave all you want.

I like the way you think! Thanks for making me laugh! There are a handful of co-workers that are caring and understanding. Makes up for the insensitive ones. Well kind of! I'm taking a "mental health" day today and then we head to HUP (Univ of PA) tomorrow to meet with my thoracic surgeon. Thank you for the welcome and allowing me to rant! I feel better! Hope everyone has a wonderful day.

JerseyG--Good luck with the dr appt tomorrow. Hopefully all will go well. Yes, there are some caring folks out there--just a few in my life that stepped up during my little adventure in 2012. But the "friends" that I've known for 30 some years, are no where to be found, even now, 2 years later. Just let it go, right!! Let us know how things went.
