I have pushed up my scan and follow up appt to the 21st and 29th today and it just dawned on me that it is next week. All of my scans have always been with contrast-should this concern me? I don't have labs until my follow up with my oncologist on the 29th. I've never been told my labs have had any issues.

I've had to move them up because there is a possibility I may lose my insurance March 1. And my job may follow. I would have a lot more time to read and post then. And maybe play some golf (at another course). Hoping for a good scan -and it may be my last for awhile!
On a better note, I am still drinking at least one large veg and fruit (whole) vitamix smoothie a day. I've lost ten pounds and feel fabulous. For those of you thinking about diet changes- it's one of the best things you can do for yourself. The more whole veg and fruit I consume, the less junk I crave. When I went to the doc for my knee injury, my BP had dropped from 130/78 to 118/75. I attribute this to the diet change.

Sorry to hear you may lose your job and insurance. COBRA allows you to keep the insurance for up to 18 months I believe but I know it isn't cheap. I pray you don't lose them.
I have been juicing fresh vegetable and carrots since mid December. I agree with you, it makes me feel energized when i have my morning juice. Much more than coffee ever did.

Health and happiness,
Wayne
