Going for CT Scan

Hey gang,

I am going for a CT Scan and bloodwork on Wednesday for follow up. Getting the willies again but not tooo badly. Keep your fingers and toes crossed for me and say a little prayer while you are at it. If can get passed this checkup I won't have to see the onc for 6 months. Here's hoping. I won't hear anything for a couple of weeks I guess unless something odd shows up. I will let you know how it goes once I do.

Cheers,
Lance

    CT Scan
    Comparing notes: I just received results from my CT Scan and it was clean; on Dec. 16 I have
    the PET Scan and if nothing lights up then I will be scanned again in two months. I have
    my surgeon plus my oncologist looking at the results. If all is clear, I will stop the
    chemo; I am right now on my last treatment and don't have to see the onc until 12-22 and
    that to just review results. Believe me, this is the best Christmas gift I could possibly
    receive and maybe I will enter the New Year NED. This is as result of getting recurrence
    to liver from Stage 2 colon CA in 2004 and having a liver resection in 2008. Hugs and will
    keep you in my prayers and hope you will do same. There is light at the end of the tunnel!

    Good luck!
    I've got everything crossed for you, Lance!! I'm sure everything will be just fine... but now, why do you have to wait a couple of weeks to get the results? Can't you call your Onc or GP in a few days and say, "Well??" :)

    Huggggggs,

    Cheryl

    Calling the Onc
    Well I guess I could call in a few days and I must say my onc has always been patient and responsive to my questions. I know the workload that they have at the hospital and I don't like to call unless really necessary. I find that time seems to help with my state of mind. Tomorrow I probably won't be as worried. It is an up and down thing. I do know this though, it is wonderful to have so many caring friends on this message board. It really helps.
