in Breast Cancer #1
I had my bone scan today at the hospital where I work. I was able to go straight upstairs and pull up all of the images on my work computer. The right 5th and 8th ribs are still lighting up, but I think a little less so. I didn't see anything else, but, of course, this is not my area of expertise and my view on my little computer is limited--but still I felt better seeing just the same couple of ribs that I could always see (since 2009). The radiologists also always say the 12th rib also has metastasis but I never have been able to see that rib on my screen. I had another NNP look at it and she concurred.

Unfortunately, I can't pull up the PET as that was done at a satellite location. So I will have to try and wait patiently until Monday afternoon.

    You little sneak! lol
    So, this is good news, right? Glad you feel better Cynthia. Just wish you didn't have to wait until Monday afternoon.


    Could you call and find out sooner? I hate that they make you wait for the results.

    Well!!!
    I never pegged you for a sneaky peeker, but hey, if they're gonna leave them just laying around in the computer for anybody to sneak in and look at, why not?

    I sure do hope you know what you're talking about cause sounds pretty good,

    xoxo

    Ok, I must admit, I'm a "stinker" too, I peek at my PET images every time. They send me with a sealed envelope (I see my Onc. the same day of my PET scans) and I just can't stand to carry that around for 4+ hours and not look inside. Glad things are looking ok for you thus far and here's praying your PET scan comes back with NO additional lights.

    I have no right to judge
    I would routinely read Moopy's charts (upside down) when the doctors were going over them with us. Found out some, well, interesting stuff.

    It's only a HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) violation if I look at someone else's results. HIPAA is in place to protect and keep our health information private. I joke about many issues, but I am always dead serious about a patient's right to privacy.

    I'd peek too if I had the chance. I always try to watch the screens but it is hard now. I know you can't speak about patients but our whole lives are on computers and connected to whoever has access.

    I'm jealous
    I wish I could peek at things like that. I try to look when it is being done but can't really tell anything anyway.

    Hugs.

    If WAITING for results is often the worst part , then peeking is SELF-DEFENSE. Totally defensible in a court of law! Glad that the bone scan looks little different from the past. Hope your PET is totally unremarkable! xoxoxoxox Lynn

    I'd peek if 1. I had access 2. I knew what the heck I would be looking at. You are able to do both and I say good for you for peeking.

    Oh I know you are. Me too.
    Oh I know you are. Me too. One time I looked at my sons report and was told that it was a violation. He was a minor and I thought as his mother I could. I was just messing with you. Sorry, was not implying that you would violate anyones privacy. Katz

    I hope your peeking put your mind at ease. I'd definately do the same thing if I could...only difference, I wouldn't know what I was looking at. Hoping for PET results that are non eventful. We'll be waiting for your report on that. Take care.

    Thanks Katz! And I think that they were wrong about your son's report if he was a minor? I would only violate my own privacy ;-)
