in Colorectal Cancer #1
I just had PET scan this morning, Drs appt Thursday but I can't wait for that, I work tomorrow, so I will be getting results tomorrow. I work at the hospital where I had my PET. My CT scan in September showed a lung thingy with no changes. What is no changes when they didn't address it in June on my CT???? I feel like time stands still when waiting for results. The stress is on!!!

    Good luck, Sandy. Will be

    Good luck, Sandy. Will be thinking of you and anxiously awaiting the results.  I think it will be fine.  Waiting is the worse.  Looking forward to an update.

    Hoping for great results for you!

    The waiting is awful, isn't it?  It's handy that you work where you scan, at least.  I've been shocked at how long some people on this forum have had to wait for their results.  Anything more than a couple of days is just cruel, imo.

    Hang in there, and keep us posted!

    Hugs~AA

    Thanks Chelsea & AA -
    I agree, waiting days and sometimes weeks is cruel, after all it is our information. Most Drs have only been on one side of the fence. I had a hard time getting my PET approved by the insurance, how would they feel if it were them. Just makes me mad sometimes.

    Hang On

    Wishing you great results from the scan.  My Onc does not seem concerned about "thingy's" that don't grow, drives me to distraction if I let it.

    Waiting for scan results is

    Waiting for scan results is one of the hardest things about cancer. I have been doing them for eight years and it is not any easier.

    I will keep you in my prayers.

    Clear!
    Went to work today, pulled up my med record and printed it! Clear, YAY! I have appt tomorrow with onc, don't really need. I guess he needs to get paid for ordering. So relieved, that is all I need for Christmas! Things look better, my husband has a job now, but is 100 miles away and he has to stay in hotel all week with Atlanta traffic, but I am happy he has a job. Thank you everyone! It is so nice to come here to vent and have people understand the stress of all of this!

    Fantastic!

    Great news!!!  you're lucky you have access to your reports so quickly, most of us have to wait and wait.  I'm glad you got such good news right before the holidays!  Enjoy this time with your family, I'm sure you're feeling much better with the clear scan!

    Great news Sandy

    Now you can really enjoy the holidays.  Great news that your husband has a job although 100 miles away is hard especially since you still have young children.  Thanks for the great news!
