To scan or not to scan

I started dancing to Disney songs with my granddaughter. Usually for 30 - 45 minutes a day....I also cut out all desserts, not that I eat them regularly but I am known to have a cookie or two. I lost 6 lbs in 2 weeks, and my bloating is gone! I expelled so much gas in a two week period it was crazy!!!

Not sure if I should go through with the scan on Friday; my ONC was worried about my stomach being bloated for so long, but now it's gone. Part of me says do it, and another says your regular scan is due in November, wait.

    scan
    Me, i would get it if you already have it scheduled, if part of you is telling you to get it, you will just have it preying on your mind until Nov. get it over with now. Glad you are feeling better now though.

    Dang hun
    I would say wait until November. Every scan is an extra chance of more mutant cells.
    You're feeling good, and certainly looking good, I'd wait until November.
    But truly it's up to how you feel about it.

    Ummmmmm
    As long as you already have it scheduled, go ahead. Kinda like going to the dentist, once you make the appointment, your tooth stops hurting.

    Take care - Tina
