Oh CB, how terrible to have to go through that! I actually can say I know how you feel as I had a doc tell me I had cancer last week and then he took it back too! Now, I didn't have to tell my mom like you did, but I did have to tell my hubby and that was not, I repeat, not fun or a thing I ever want to go through again. Once the anger subsides, everything will be all good again. I don't know about you, but I know that is was time for me to find a new doctor after that! Still looking, my faith in doc's is a little rocked right now, but I did make sure I got a second opinion that is was not cancer and all is good again. Actually, I had three doctors read the results to be 100% sure after that doctor's blooper.

Barbara, I am so glad you posted. When your auto reply came back, I was extremely worried for you and your Mom. What happened sucked (slap me) no other way to put it but, I am so glad it was a mis-diagnosis. From the bottom of my heart, I hope that you and your Mom enjoy many more years.

Visiting a friend in the hospital a couple of years ago...two jock docs come bursting in and started telling my friend and his wife that he was terminal..I quickly stepped out in the hall..moments later they came out and went into the next room-stayed a couple of minutes-came back out in the hall talking to each other in their native tongue. Went into my friends room and said they were in the wrong room and he was fine...while his wife in flooding tears looked on...twenty minutes and prayer later I tried to find them to no avail. There are some things you triple check before you act I don't care how busy you are. Barbara, hang in there...We luv you...

CB, just BIG hugs and love sent your way. And I completely understand about being the "one" who has to handle everything, including having to tell loved ones that they are terminal because no one else could face it. Just glad to hear that the doc misdiagnosed and things won't be so bad. (((((hugs)))))

How awful! I'm so sorry you and your Mom had to go through all that crap. And so glad the diagnosis was reversed. Hang in there. We'll always listen.

Barbara how terrible on one level and how wonderful on another. That seems to be the way thing are going lately for everyone. Up, down, up, down and not the good kind of up/down. My family's health has been doing similar gyrations. My father was in and out of the hospital three times last week (probably from the flu).

By Lisa A. (Extraordinary BonaireTalker - Post #2206) on Wednesday, December 17, 2008 - 12:53 pm: |
CB, I feel so bad for you for what you've been through. Like everyone, first the sadness at the news, then the anger at the reversal. But happy too that it's not that evil C. But I'm mostly sad about your family's reaction. I'm sorry they weren't there for you and your mother when you needed them. I hope they realize family is the most important thing in the world.

By Yo MO - Too much work - too little time (Supreme BonaireTalker - Post #4541) on Wednesday, December 17, 2008 - 1:38 pm: |
CB - so many big hugs for you and for your Mom. What a raw mix of emotions - not just on the diagnosis and reversal but on the family. I can't imagine how much you have had to endure...and to not have anyone to help in any way. I am so sorry - you know your BT family will do ANYTHING that they can to help.
|
By **Barbara* *"CB"* *Gibson** (Extraordinary BonaireTalker - Post #2418) on Wednesday, December 17, 2008 - 1:48 pm: |
Guys, thanks so much. I was kind of just posting a "you're not going to believe this" story. Not until I looked in and saw this outpouring of support did the reality of the last week sink in for me.

I'm sorry for the pain that I know you went through when you heard the news and when you had to tell your mother. Unfortunately, even the reversal can't take away that. And come on, a tumor and a fracture look different on a MRI, I'm sure. But in the end, all that matters is that you and she have had great news. And your mother will always remember that you were the one that was there for her even though other family members weren't.
