    Tests
    Hoping and praying that everything goes well with everyone in their upcoming tests of any kind. This is a scary time coming up so hopefully you will all get great results.

    hubby starting chemo 12/16
    Hubby dx 3 mos ago today -- 2 mos since surgery (total colectomy with IRA -- no colon/no bag) -- 6 mos of FOLFOX begins tomorrow (for the 3rd time -- didn't get it done first 2 times he was scheduled to start) :P

    Labs and CT
    I love this thread...makes praying for everyone so easy and specific. Thanks for starting it Diane.

    I try to read through it each night and pray for you specifically.

    I have 3 mos labs on Thursday, followed by my first ct where i have to drink the nice stuff. I have only had ct's w/ contrast and pets before. I have a little scanxiety as I have been really tired lately.

    I should know my results on the 22 at my onc's apt. Hopefully, it will mean a nice Christmas. Why do we do this stuff in December.......I know, cuz we have all met our deductibles, right?

    Deductibles
    You've got it! We hit our family max and everything in 2009 is "free."

    My husband's work changed our insurance choices for next year and we are losing the insurance policy we've had for many years - the replacement policy with another company is not as good. So rather than get hit with PET/CT right away start of the year, I made sure we got it done in 2009. And I bet I'm not the only one.

    Plus I think it is nice to start the new year knowing where you stand.

    I'm praying
    Hi to all of you who have just posted about tests, scans, etc. that you have coming up soon- I'm praying for you all. I don't have any tests coming up for a while now, but I am getting used to taking interferon injections. I had my first one last night and I've never experienced such fever and chills as I did last night (for about an hour- then I felt weak and had a headache until about midday today). I have to do this 3x a week and am trying to still get my Christmas shopping finished this week. I'm told these flulike side effects begin to fade away after about 3 weeks.

    Lisa

    Praying for you Lisa
    Just hang in there! I'm glad to see someone is really stepping out and trying something new. Hope the fever, chills, etc become less and less. Looking forward to hearing more from you.

    good news
    it's working....the prayers and wishes are working! on Tues my gp said I was definitely suffering from post herpetic neuralgia..in other words pain and neurlagia left over from the herpes/chickenpox virus.

    I just came in the door from a walk and there was a message from my onc.....she has NEVER phoned me at home....my gp spoke to her at the hospital and the onc reported cea of 2.5
    I did not dream it could be this low because of all the pain and illness I have been feeling.
    Ok now I am picking up all the positive energy and thoughts and sending them out for December results...to quote Kathy...positively good!!! absolutely good

    with love and thanks, mags

    Tests
    I had labwork drawn Monday. CT of chest and abd is tomorrow 12/17. I have to drink the contrast on an empty stomach at 7am. Then get the results from Onc next week. This is 3rd CT since chemo finished in May. So far everything has been ok. Feeling tired but have also started back to work. Thanks to everyone for prayers and good thoughts.
