in Colorectal Cancer #1

Tomorrow 6:00 AM EST I will head out for a 1-1/2 hour ride to Ann Arbor MI for the quarterly CT Scan. And next Monday for the CEA test and doctors visit.

Many of you know the feelings that come along with these checkups. Ugg.

    Good luck, Phil

    I had my CT scan on the 4th and have to wait to see my Oncologist on the 28th, because he is off in India visiting family. I've learned to forget I've had my scan and just get nervous the day of results - ok, a few days before the day of results -

    Sending you good vibes.

    Good luck!

    I'll go to AA mid March for my next CT scan. I try to go in emotionless, because I know it is gonna be what it is. Just hate sharing bad news with the family. I am super hopeful this time because I am feeling better for the first time in months. 

    Phil, you are in good hands. Praying for great results for you and all of us with upcoming scans and other tests.

    I had my scan on the 15th and have to wait until the 28th for results. Wish I could get them sooner. Hope it’s okay as I don’t want my  kidney surgery next month to be cancelled.

    Good Luck

    Good luck Phil, and  everyone else who is  due for a scan soon. I hope you all get good results. I feel so fortunate that I'm able to access my results quckly through the patient portal site. My docs and I had a conversation early on and  I managed to convince them that I could handle  dealing with bad results better than the  drawn out stress of wondering about results, so they post everything within a day or so. and  we go over the results at  my next appointment, or if there are  questions,  I can call the office. It has worked well for me so far, but  may not work for everyone and perhaps not all docs would be willing to  give access like that.

    Fast Results

    omg. Just like Grace, I was able to access test results on the health portal. And I think this is the fastest they have all come in.

    • Felt nauseated but didn‘t get sick.
    • CEA < 1.0 
    • Scans - no signs of metastasis 

    yay!

    I hope we all can celebrate

    I hope we all can celebrate and that smarter people than us will find true cures for this terrible disease. 

    The blood draw was so busy today that I was called up to go to infusion to get a blood draw.  Sat next to a younger man and wife who where there being treated for Stage IV colorectal cancer. It felt good sharing my story, sharing HOPE. And it was a reminder of how not too long ago, I was receiving treatments and facing “not eligible for surgery“ decisions.

    I would love to see some real cures soon! Eradicate this disease!

    Awesome

    So glad to hear that the results were good.  Sorry about missing your original post, but I'm glad all turned out well.  You must go to UofM.  I'm a Henry Ford patient.  Time to celebrate.
