Wish I didn't know...

[Katybug]

Just when I was about to run out of something to worry about, my daughter casually mentions she's having a CT Body Scan tomorrow. No problems, just a yearly routine for the rest of her life. I'm going to worry myself sick, just like I did last year, but thank goodness she will see her dr for results the next day. It's the waiting that gets ya!

Her last radiation treatment was the wk before Xmas, so when they told her the neck area was the hardest to treat, they weren't kidding. She was so badly burned inside the mouth and throat, words can't describe it. She continues to get one very painful mouth yeast infection after another and there are still so many foods that burn going down -- after almost a year. What a nightmare this has been!

Please send all positive thoughts our way, we could sure use them. Thx.

Oh Katybug, I'm so sorry to read this. My heart goes out to your daughter, and you. The poor woman. I hope it goes better for her this time. I'd tell you not to worry, but fat chance right!

Please try to be positive for her and yourself.

Thinking of you at this time, Katybug.
I don't know what I would be doing at a time like this, but whatever gets you through the day with a measure of calm, do it.

I think I might spend some time meditating until I achieved inner peace, then call to mind my daughter as a little child in my arms. I would focus on the love I had and have for her and wrap us both in that love. If tears rolled, I'd let them because they are signs of love.

Peace be with you, Mother Katy.

Wonderful advice Warrigal.

Katybug, I had an episode with radiotherapy a couple of years ago. Very unpleasant with recurring nasty episodes (bleeding) but they are diminishing with time.

It's hard, when you are in the moment, to take comfort from those with some experience but, most things pass and success rates improve. I wish her well from this distance.

Katybug, Warrigal, has giving you great words of encouragement, I'd just like to add that my thoughts are with you during this time, hoping all goes well.

Katybug, all of the above posts from me too.

You and your daughter are in my thoughts and prayers.

Thanks to all you dear people. Your caring and concern mean so much. Thank goodness I'm working today, leaving shortly. That will keep me occupied. If I were staying home, I would be anxiously pacing. Again, thank you for your kind words. (HUGS to all of you.)

It sure does, Di. Thank you to all you dears.

Thx, Jackie, I'm probably more worried than she is, so thank you....or maybe she just covers better.

All the best to you and your daughter, Katybug.

 

[Katybug]

Thank you, That Guy and TWH. I'm so glad it's close to bedtime and my neighbor friend gave me a 2 mild Xanax, one for tonight and one for tomorrow. I'm a huge worrier and I need 'em! She did the same thing last year, God bless her.

Hugs Katybug, I'm thinking about you and your daughter and sending good vibes your way. I'm very close to my daughter as well and can appreciate the worry you are going through. Do whatever helps you to get some sleep and stay positive. xoxox

 

[Katybug]

There's another thread on this, TICA, and thank you. I wasn't coherent enough to find it when I came in....you know how that goes after a few glasses of wine, but dinner got me back on track. Well, as much on track as I ever am.
