I know it's only a mammogram...but wondering if the bus might be free on Wednesday?

I'm over a year out of treatment, and have had 2 clean mammograms since then, but the "scanxiety" is still almost unbearable. Wondering if you all can come with me on Wednesday at 11:30 to calm my nerves and give me some moral support? I know some of you hate to get up early, so I made sure to make it later for you!

(Actually, my appointment was originally scheduled for first thing tomorrow morning, but they called back to say that none of the radiologists would be in that day because of Passover. I had to chuckle, because they have 5 radiologists, and apparently all of them are Jewish? Who knew that being Jewish was a prerequisite for being a radiologist?)

    Hey Traci,
    I think the bus is available on Wednesday. I'll be on it for you, and I know we will have a bus full. Sending positive thoughts for a clean mammogram on Wednesday.

    The wheels on the bus go round and round...
    I'm there. And now you have me wondering if my hematology appointment for tomorrow postponed from last Monday is still a go.

    Okay, but
    are you gonna be doing all that "she's breathing on me," "move your fat head" stuff you do EVERY time I get on a bus with you? Are you going to smile and promise not to and then once I'm on and it's too late, you'll start doing it???

    All right. But only because you're my pink sister. I'm watching you though.

    Have a brownie.....

    Yes, my surgeon still orders it as a "diagnostic" mammogram, which means after the mammo I go sit in the dressing area for a few minutes (which seem like hours, while my girlfriend chatters at me nonstop, because that what she does when she's nervous), until the tech comes back and gives me "2 thumbs up," and tells me to get dressed and get out of their way. :-)

    I will be on that bus. If there's no room I'll drive my car behind. If I know the sisters in pink, that is gonna be one crowded bus! If the air conditioning isn't working, well.....I'll take the car! :)

    I just had my mammo and I'm also 2 years out, it is very scary but with us there cheering you on, you'll be just fine.

    Like Victoria said, no complaining and I am a loud (Italian) so I hope the nurses don't mind.

    Party on the bus for Traci!!!
    HUGS,
    Wanda

    I'll be drinking Sylvia's wine :)
    You know I will be there with you. I think this time, I will sit next to Sylvia. And you know why? She has the wine! lol Sometimes you pink sisters can be a bit too rowdy for me on the bus, so, the wine relaxes me enough that I just don't care. lol Hey, maybe if Sylvia falls asleep after drinking too much wine, we can draw pics on her face. Now that could be fun and very interesting. Sorry Sylvia....:)

    I will be praying Traci for a clean mammogram! That is all that I will accept!

    I'll be there and I'm going
    I'll be there and I'm going to bring treats and share them with everyone. And boy, is it going to be crowded in that dressing room. I love a good bus ride and it's not complete without the she's touching me, breathing my air, etc. So much a part of the trip. Maybe Joe will bring bacon treats. Oh yes, please.

    Definitely bringing bacon treats
    But I'm only going to share with the girls who are nice to me and don't say mean things about my driving. And once we get Traci back from her appointment, I'm taking the whole gang on another road trip...

    For once...
    ... I'm not running behind, trying to catch up! Will certainly be with you on Wednesday morning, Traci. With my imaginary magic wand in hand. Wishing for another "clean" mammo and Mr. NED's steadfast companionship for you.

    Totally understand your stress. Was DX'd in 2003; yes, mammos have gotten easier to face, over time. Yet, still they cause a great deal of anxiety.

    Am HOPING for you.

    Kind regards, Susan

    P.S.: "Only a mammogram"?!? Hardly. :-)

    I
    will be on this bus no matter what! I wouldn't miss the road trip for one, and, I want to be there to support you Traci and to hear the good news when the tech comes in to tell you.

    You will breathe such a sigh of relief when they say NED. Wait, don't they tell you something else? NERT or something? NED's twin brother, right?

    It doesn't matter, I will still have my dancing shoes out and ready to celebrate your Dancing with NED!
