Full body bone scan in am.

Tomorrow morning I go for a full body bone scan and this is the most nervous I have been about getting any results back. The results of this determine my choices for treatment options and so far I don't like either of the options that have been run past me... hoping that the bone scan shows less involvement than they are anticipating.

Woke up this morning feeling down, then looked out my bedroom window at sunshine, beautiful snow capped mountains, called up girlfriends and went to brunch at a restaurant along a rushing stream. Changed my whole outlook.. wore my wig, we decided I am Chantal with the wig (a little more sassy), got sunburned on my hairless arms, sat and talked for a couple of hours about everything normal, no cancer! and came home feeling rejuvenated.

Hoping that this feeling carries over through Wednesday when I meet with the Doctor. Wish me luck and prayers for better options!

    Sending my most positive energy and good thoughts
    your way, Carol. It is so scary, I know. I'm due for my 2nd breast MRI in June. I had one in December--and I'm hoping and praying there is no change. I have a huge amount of scar tissue from lumpectomy--so there's a "new normal" appearance that we're again looking for.

    I love your positive attitude adjustment. I try to do the same thing and so admire those of us who are able to do the same. Yes, we're initially scared, but then, being the warriors we are, something makes us pause, reflect and fight on--for a good outcome.

    I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers for the perfect result.

    Hugs, Renee

    be heading down you way tomorrow a.m. (San Diego area, right?). I'll be driving, so I will have to turn in early tonight .. Coffee, bagels, cream cheese have been packed and ready for our trip.

    I will be the Sister in PINK, Carol pacing back and forth during your procedure - while whispering .. Strength, Courage and Hope.

    Prayers and gentle hugs,

    I love how you turned your day around & ended up enjoying it. You have a wonderful outlook on things Carol :) I had a full body bone scan a few months back & was scared too. The scan itself wasn't bad, the dye injection didn't bother me at all, and I was told to call my Dr. office back 2 days after that for my results. Thankfully it came back normal. But i know how awful it can be to wait on any type of test results. Sending you lots of big hugs & good mojo.
    *hugs*

    Oh Carol, I'm glad you got out
    and had a "normal" day. It's just so nice to get out with good friends, especially on a beautiful day.

    We can all relate to the stress of having to have tests. I'm praying for you that your scan comes back clean!

    Hugs,
