I get my first PET/CT scan on Thursday since starting treatment in August! I have two cycles of chemo down and this will determine my progress and how much more treatment I will need. I am super nervous but really hoping to see that my cancer is melting away!

    Scan..
    Good luck on Thursday! Scans always make us anxious and then if we have to wait a week for the results it makes it even worse. I hope you get your results quickly and I'll be thinking good positive thoughts that the cancer is melting away..(just like the wicked witch of the west in the Wizard of Oz).ha! Take care and as hard as it may be, try to stay peaceful.
    Best wishes...Sue (FNHL-2-3A-6/10)

    I work in customer service. I talk on the phone all day. I work for the company that invented bumper stickers. We make decals, yard signs, magnets, stickers, mousepads...you name it just about.

    It's a very high stress job and can be very frustrating. I'm nervous that I've forgotten too much with 4 months off. So much changes and the company has been making lots of changes and have actually moved me to a different region and new set ups and policies. It's going to be like starting over.

    But that's not always a bad thing. Just nerve wracking lol.

    I must be just behind you on chemo treatments: I have day 2 of 2nd cycle tomorrow with f/u Keep us posted on the outcome--praying for great results---my oncologist said he expects a good report with most of the ++ nodes, hot spots gone. Positively speaking, the primary symptoms I had are almost gone--- I think a good thing!? Susan
