trial study.
..Keep your fingers crossed. No results for a week (WHY is that???), altho' I am hoping maybe the doc will stop by infusion room and give us a clue as to what, if anything, is happepning. Wishful thinking on my part.

    UPDATE, sort of....
    UPDATE(sort of)...Got a CD copy of Roberts CT and looked at it, and looked at the one he had before starting the trial. It does not look good. Tumors look bigger and more visible.

    I know I am not a radiologist, but it is pretty hard to miss the changes.

    I don't know whether to show Robert and see if he sees what I see, or act like I know nothing and wait for the doc appt Wed.

    Crap.

    This.SUCKS.

    My Advice...
    WAIT. Let a radiologist read it and interpret it.
    Maybe it's something, maybe it's nothing.
    Why get upset?
    I hope it goes well

    Scanxiety SUCKS
    I agree that the waiting is hard but it is best, in my opinion, to let the radiologist read and then get the full in depth interpretation. Hugs and prayers for a good scan
