Asking for prayer, for myself this time
 

I went yesterday for a healthy heart scan, a simple screening to detect calcium in the arteries. That test turned out just fine but they found a spot on my lung during the scan. It showed an 8mm ground glass opacity. I've never even heard of ground glass opacity and of course looked it up. I didn't like what I saw and didn't follow my own advice to not research.

I saw my doctor today and he sent me for a chest ct. I had that done today as well. Please pray with me that it will turn out to be nothing or something that is fixable. My doctor feels it may be OK but wont know for sure until we have the results. He said if it's bad we may have caught it early to have a better chance.

I cannot get sick. I need to be well to care for Jim. :( I will find out the results by Monday afternoon when I pick up copies of the ct.

I am hoping the doctor gets them sooner.

Anyway, thanks in advance. :hug:

Prayers already being said for you, Sandy. :hug:

You're one of the strongest women I've ever known. I have no doubt you'll get through this trial. You have lots of friends here praying for you.

:circlelove:

Adding my prayers Sandy.....:grouphug:

You're on my Priority Prayer List...

Thanks everyone. I kind of feel silly asking for prayer for myself now. I've always been taught you don't ask for prayer unless it's for someone other than yourself. In many ways I am asking not only for me but for my family as well.

If this turns out to be nothing or something that can be cured than the prayers worked and that's all that matters. :hug:

:hug: Sandy prayers are being said. :hug:

Sandy you are in my thoughts and prayers.:hug:

I admire you so much Sandy and you have my prayers any time you need them. You're such a good person and you deseve a break. I'll keep you in my prayers that this is just a false alarm and you can get back to your life in good health. :hug: :hug: :hug:

Oh Sandy! :hug:

I can just imagine the inner turmoil you must be going through while you wait to hear.:hug:

Please know that you're in my thoughts and prayers. I'm hoping and praying that you don't have to wait that long to get your results, and when you do get them... that they will be insignificant and most importantly....benign.

I know how hard it is not to look things up on the Internet, but please try hard not to. You're only going to read about all the things that this is NOT!

Love 'n' hugs Sandy....

I spoke to the doctor this morning and told him the hospital was faxing over the report. He hasn't called me yet. Most likely wont know until Monday now.

Thank you for praying. :hug:

Sandy, I do pray it turns out to be nothing to worry about. My good friend has a lung spot that shows up on her x-rays, too, but the docs have never done anything with it. Its just "there."

Who told you that you couldn't ask for prayers for YOU? Of course you can! :hug::hug::hug:

Good news!!!!
 

I couldn't wait or stand not knowing so I went to the radiology department to get the report.

As of yesterday there is no abnormalities in my lungs. The ground glass opacity is gone!!!!! Poof, there one day, gone the next!!

The prayers worked!!!!

Thank you thank you thank you!!!! :hug:

That's excellent news Sandy. Thanks for letting us know. :hug:

keeping you in my prayers too ((((Sandy))))

Hooray!!! :) :hug:

Way to go Sandy!!!
 

That's awesome, Sandy! So happy for you! :hug:

Oh Sandy, you are so blessed!! You, Jim and the boys are always part of our prayers!! Have Jim give you a hug for me!!

Sandy,
 

I am late in reading this. I am so thankful that the spot is gone. YES, prayer does work doesn't it?! Please don't feel guilty for asking prayer for yourself. You have got to be one of the most selfless people I have been blessed to meet.

Now take a little time for yourself, relax! I pray for God to continue to give you comfort and blessings! :hug:

Dear SandyC
 

I've never heard of that. I hope that it isn't dangerous. If it is,I'm glad that they caught it early.

I'm saying a prayer for you.:smileypray: BF:hug::hug::hug:

Dear SandyC
 

Have you seen the Doctor to find out more information? I looked up that term,and I still don't know what it means.

I hope that it isn't anything bad. BF:hug::hug::smileypray::hug::hug:

BF, it was clear!!!!!!! Whatever that was is gone. Amazing! Thank you for your prayers. :hug:

I am so glad to see you updated that you have the all clear Sandy:hug:...not sure how I missed it before my last post :o

Well this is great news. I'm so glad that you don't have cancer,or a medical problem like it. Well thank goodness. BF:hug::hug::hug:

So happy for the good news!
What a horrible scare that must have been.

Hugs
Cindy

:hug:Sandy:hug: My prayers are with you. God bless and keep you during this trying time.

Just read that you are clear. Prayer is an amazing thing! Big Hugs to you

Hey Sandy! Sorry I'm seeing this so late, but wanted you to know that I'm so glad that your results turned out to be ok. I'm always looking things up on the net and like Anne said~ the info we find is usually what we don't want to see.

take care of yourself and really thankful that all is well ..

((Sandy)) I'm glad I saw that the report was good! I had the same thing happen last October when I had pneumonia and they had me come back, concerned about a spot. 4 weeks later it disappeared! ((hugs))

Sandy,
 

I ran across this thread again...and just thinking of you. I'm not sure why God 'puts us through' these 'little' trials when you truly have SO MUCH you deal with daily. HOWEVER.... I do believe there is a reason and all things are a part of His plan. Yes, it WAS a miracle... and if not one that you needed, it could have been one that someone else who it touched needed. I just say that because I know you are a person of gigantic faith and I feel God tends to USE his strongest people.

Anyway, again I'm so relieved that the tests were positive and I hope you are doing Okay!!! :hug:
