    Diagnoisis: Accute Scanxiety

    There was no evidence of disease progression.  Happyiness is a three month repreive.

    Unhappyness was the retred tire that hit the front of my car on the way home. 

    Good work Kathy

    We need to be our own advocates. We need to scare the insurance companies when they see us coming.

    I can relate

    Personally, I have a love/hate relationship with scans.  I can't wait to have it so I can get the all clear and not worry for a few months.  At the same time I dread that I might get bad news, so as is usually the case, I can't make a decision how to feel.  

    Tex,

    I can also relate to the excitement about getting contrast.  When I got the word from my doc that I could have contrast, I wanted to sing Hallelujah.  It's hard to trust the non-contrast scans.  You can't help but wonder if something isn't hiding.  I sure hope all goes well for you.  Be sue to let us know or update you blog.

    Right now I have a different kind of scanxiety.  I was due for scans this week and find out my insurance company won't pay for all 3 three, only the abdomen, so I'm having can't-have-a-scanxiety.  I hated feeling like I was having to beg for contrast and now I'm having to beg to have the scans at all. I haven't given up yet.  Still working on it.

    On a side note, this site is really slow lately!

    Take care all,

    Kathy

    Kathy,  i hope things work

    Kathy,  i hope things work out, i cannot imagine how that must feel for the insurance not to want to pay.  How can they even decide that?  I will be praying for you to get what you need!  And, I pray that the scans are great also!

    That is GREAT NEW DHS!  See,

    That is GREAT NEW DHS!  See, and you were so worried.  It goes to show that every pain doesn't have to mean cancer!  I am glad to hear all is ok!  Now go and rest up and do what you love best!  Sorry to hear about the tire, i hope you are ok from that! Always something right?  :)

    Accute Scanxiety...

    Reminds me of a joke (if you can believe it)

    There was a guy at the retirement home who was a little hard of hearing.  At one of the social events there he asked one of the nicer looking ladies if she would like to dance.

    "I can't" she said "I have accute angina."

    "And nice boobs too." he replied.

    Way to go d!!!
