Scan
Hoping that all will go well with the test and the results will come back clear. Hate having to do all the tests anymore. Keep us informed.

Tomorrow is the CT scan, I am freaking out about this. I keep getting all weepy about it. Damn it, will the stress and worry ever go away? I cannot eat, cannot do anything but lay on the couch. I am beginning to think I may need to go back on the anti depressents when these things come up. Tried telling my husband about the anxiety and he says " yea, an you can get hit by a bus tomorrow too" so stop stressing. His thought is that I have to not worry about routine testing, But as you all here know, nothing is routine about check ups after cancer. how do I get him to understand this? Just having a moment here and writing it out here on the board helps a little bit!

In the same boat
What a timely post! I am having my scan today and results next Monday. It's going to be a long week! My CEA's have bee climbing and it's not looking good. There was a 27 point jump in 2 weeks I am turning everything over to God and will keep praying that the scan is not too bad.
Thank You to everyone for being such a supportive group!

Looks like we both get results on the 23rd. Since I have been on every available chemo and my CEA is climbing, I am really nervous. I just have to keep busy and not worry so much. Saturday is my dad's 80th birthday, so I will focus on that celebration.
I'm sending positive vibes your way!

Good for you to focus
Pat,
Good for you to focus on something other than this!! I am trying to focus on my son's wedding recption this coming Saturday, they were married in Jamaica 2 weeks ago ( fabulous trip by the way) and now the reception for all those that could not go to the wedding. But it still is hard as heck.
