Hey Gang.This is a little off the beaten track, but it hit home.Had to take my Dog, Sandy to the vet because of a lump in her breast.She hasnt been herself lately.
It turned out to be a Lipoma, but her psychological problems are related to me.Our animals sense what we feel and react.I looked at her today in a different way.
Shes old and fat.I made a appointment with my reg Dr. for next week.
I need a life change.I cant sit around anymore waiting for results of tests.Im getting old and fat too.I might as well be a in a test tube.
Tired of it.
Guys we need to bring our emotions here.I didnt get my call today as to If Im Neg or Pos or a mixture.Gee , a phone call. Is that what Ive come down to.
A phone call.Nope, not going to happen. Not now
Luv you all

Jill,
       I can relate to where your coming from.  As much as I'm not cancer.  My life revolves around it.  Eveything I do is base on how I feel that day due, if I'm in the hosp, having blood tests, whether or not neuropathy is bad or I'm just plain exhausted.  So like it or not life revolves around it.  I have never felt more empowered than I have this last couple of days.  Telling both the podiatrist and physical therapist that I don't have very long and I don't intend on sitting around, so make this ankle thing work pain free.  Cause I'm on the go if at all possible.  Boy did that feel good.  I wasn't a smart ass, but I was kind and direct.  Nothing like a tiny bit of control in this out of control roller coaster.     
 
Oodles of Hugs, Love, and Prayers for ALL!!!
Chris
