Hey everyone, it is Tuesday evening and I can't wait to go to bed. I went to the Oncologist today because of my headaches and my volcano hotflashes. I have an MRI tomorrow so we will see if the cancer is back already. HOWEVER, I now know why I went to the Dr. today. I have never seen the waiting room so full and I sat in the only open seat. This wonderful couple that was next to me started a conversation. I won't try to repeat it...it was about an hour long. I of course started crying in the waiting room!!! She told me that a bit over 2 years ago, feeling fine, she came into these offices and was told....I'm so sorry Vicki, you have 30 days to live. Holy Cow....over 2 years ago!! WOW!!! She has lung cancer that had already spread to her liver and brain. She asked me if my prognosis was good, and I said no. Then I said...The doctors don't know everything!! Mr. Dees said isn't that the truth! So whatever the MRI says tomorrow....it's not in my hands. I told Vicki...if I would just make it until my son's graduation, I'll be ready. She told me she had said those things too. She was very comforting. I'm not worried about the dying...it's the before that scares me. Anyway, that was today....tomorrow is another story. Till Then!
