edited July 2013 in Head and Neck Cancer #1

I got the call shortly before leaving work today. My 1st post treatment PET scan will be next week, Tuesday August 6th, 15 weeks post Tx. It's going to be a LONG day as I have to be in Baltimore by 8am (leave VA a little before 6am) as my appointment is at 8:30am. The test takes 2.5 hours. Then it's off to Speech/Language Pathology for a swallow study and exam at 12:30pm and off to Radiation Oncology to see my RO at 2pm. PEG should be coming out and I'll be scoped as well. The good thing is that I should have the results of the PET scan by then (according to the PET center folks that called). 

So it will be one tiring crazy and stressful day!  Then it's back to Baltimore on Friday the 9th for blood work and to see my MO. 

Positive thoughts and prayers appreciated!

    scan you later

    Hi “T”,

    Do you need a “wheel man”? 

    Clean scans ahead for you.

    Positive thoughts for everything you do.

    Just reading this medical schedule

    made me appreciate one other little thing about getting further out from treatments.....the Dr. appointments aren't piled on top of one another so much.....like there's room now for space inbetween.  Laughing  I look at last years calendar and it makes me tired today....I must have been exhausted when it was actually happening!

    I KNOW your scan will be clean and clear, but am tucking you in my pocket anyway.....and it's convenient that your swallow Doc, your RO, and your ENT will all see you on the same day....WAY too far to have to see them on separate occasions...

    And the word will be NED

    I'm looking into my crystal ball and I see NED. Ned Beatty holding a sign stating Mr. T is now Mr. Clean.

    All kidding aside, T''s and P's coming your way and I am feeling good about your results.

    Enjoy the day

    Thoughts & Prayers...

    Headed down the road with you....

    I'm sure you're going to be just fine.... Slightly well done, a bit more crusty, but other wise good to go.
