It's been quite some time since I have posted anything on here. It has been a very busy and stressful year for me. I hope the new year brings peace and happiness, but, I guess I will find out when it gets here.

Anyways. Most recently, I am going to be getting a CAT scan on my pevlic area. I don't know what they are looking for. All I know is I have a cyst that my doctor is concerned about. And when he is concerned about it, that makes me worry about it as well. So I don't know what is going on, but I hope to have some answers soon. I need some answers.

My hubby and I have been fighting a lot this year. I don't know how we have made it this far, and I don't know how much longer we will make it if we keep fighting the way we have been...I don't know. All the stress is really not good for me, though, and I long to take a vacation, but I can't. *sigh* I need to find some way to get away from all my stress and worries, just for a little bit. Can anyone relate?

Sassy...I am sure most of us can relate as far as wanting to get away from stress. Different stresses for everyone but, stress none the less. I am so sorry that you and your husband are having problems that is hard enough if your healthy, twice as bad when you are not well. Has this all started after you got sick? I know without my husband support I would be lost, so I hope you have a good friend or close relative you could receive support from. Do you have children?

Do you have any relative that live out of town that maybe you could have a mini vacation. I hope you continue to post as we do care. This site is so supportive and members are all so caring.

Bless you, Amy

Hey my Sassy!

I've missed you and wondered how you were doing. I worry about your situation ya know...

Is there some reason you don't know what the doctors are looking for? Did he/she not tell you? Or did you not ask? Cysts are by definition a sac that can be filled with either air, fluid or semi-fluid material. They can form in any part of the body and are most often NON-cancerous.

So if your doc said he was looking for a tumor (which is an abnormal growth of cells) then I'd worry a bit more. When it your appointment for the scan? You know I'll be right there beside you if you want...K?

Hugs,

Hi, Sassy! It has been a long time.

I can definitely relate to wanting to get away. No vacations on the horizon, though, unless you count a 20-min. drive down the highway, coffee in my hand, belting out harmony to my CDs and tapping on the steering wheel a vacation! (well, it's a mini-vacation...and it helps.)

Hope you start posting more again! Not getting along with your hubby is stressful, for sure. I'm going through a pretty mellow patch right now with mine, thankfully, but there have been times....

When are you getting your CAT scan? It's always hardest when you don't know, don't you think?

AcheyBody...I can totally relate with your mini vacations. When I am really stressed I love to just take a drive with my Pepsi or coffee and my radio blaring and not how bad my singing is because no one can hear it. But with gas the way it is, it is harder and harder to get my drives.

Chutz- I have missed you so much. Sorry I haven't been on in a while. I hope all is well with you. He didn't say they were looking for a tumor. He just was just feeling around on something and told me he wanted me to get a CAT scan done because he was worried. He didn't say what about. He just said he was worried. My concern might be cancer because I do display some of the other symptoms of it, and this has been an ongoing problem for quite some time now. I am praying it is something simple that they can fix easily, but something in me is telling me that this could be something more serious. I don't know when the test is yet. They still have not called me. I am going to call them tomorrow and see what is going on because I want and need some answers.

sos007- A lot of our fighting did start after I got sick. Things just started to go downhill. I don't know how to fix it. I don't even know if it can be fixed. But I have too many stresses right now because of my health and everything that all of this is just getting too overwhelming. I have been considering asking my hubby if I can go and stay with a friend for a night or two, but I don't know if I will be able to or not. But I need a freaking vacation. I wish I could just get away from all of the pain and stress.

Thank you all for your love and support. Right now I need a good support system.

Sassy, it is great to see you posting again...I bet your little boy is getting big,...Alex???...Isn't that his name?

You have had alot going on and I do hope things work out well for you...I know from your prior posts how hard you have worked to make your marriage work. Remember to be gentle with yourself...take some time each day just for yourself, Rachel...you are worth it :)

Hugs, Robin

Yeah, my little boy really is getting big. He turned 4 this past October. It's hard for me to believe. But it's hard to be the kind of mom I want to be because of never feeling well. It breaks my heart because he really is such a good little boy. And yes, his name is Alex. You have a good memory.

I try my best to make things in my marriage work. I mean, I know I have made a lot of mistakes, but I try to make up for them and everything. I guess all I can really do is take things one day at a time. Thanks. :)
