Pet scan in the morning

The new normal can be better than the old
Consider that, in desiring your former life, you place yourself in a position in which you are looking forward to cancer. Embrace life as it is and enjoy each moment - yes, even the lousy ones; the lousy for the lessons they teach and for the hope of relief that lies within them. The good times will take care of themselves.
You are experiencing "scanxiety", a common ailment among us cancer patients. Why not turn it into "scanticipation" of good news and the life that remains yours to be lived? The way I see it, the drug addicted have clean scans, yet I would not trade life with them for even one moment.
Let a clean scan be your comfort. Let a less than clean scan rouse your ability and desire to face the challenge anew.0 -
Normal
Hi Ta,
What your feeling is perfectly normal. After my 3rd round of chemo I also had a scan and it showed the cancer tumors had shrunk 60%. Then I had another scan after the 6th round was finished and it showed all of the tumors had completely shrunk except for one spot under my clavical bone. I've had 2 more scans and everything is still stable. Scans make us anxious and probably will for the rest of our lives, but the fears get less over time. My prayers are with you for good clean scan results. Love...Sue

Hi ta, I sure hope your scan comes back clean then 3 more treatments and done. Everyone on here says that anxiety always comes with the scans it just lessens as time carries on. I'm looking at a few months until my midway scan but I can physically feel a big differance under my armpit ( for the better ) so my hopes are high for a clean scan as well. I hope you've been feeling as well as possible and your young ones are taking it easy on you. Let us know the result as soon as you can, I'll be looking foreward to hearing the good news. Aaron0 -
So hard
Hi, I know how hard it is. If you read some of my past posts, you will see how
afraid I was right before my CT Pet Scan. Our lives will never be the same. Still,
there is good days ahead. I hope the good days out number the bad days.
By the way, the scan showed I am still in remission. Have faith. Love Maggie0 -

I hope everything will go well. Everyone has those "what if" thoughts. Unfortunately it is part of going through this process.0 -
"Clean"
Ta,
We all start out as organized people on a mission. Then, reality gets in the way. I know only my own experience (well, plus reading a whole lot of blogs), and I would in all honesty say that, very likely, this will haunt you for years to come. I like to think of the many, many folks who never go into remission. I pray that you have no sign of disease, but, it seems to me, we have to give thanks for the good news that comes our way.
Update us when you get the results. The remaining cycles are very critical to get, to ensure that any few remaining cells do not live.
I know where you are coming from. We are pulling for you !

I'm doing fine, a little tired but not too bad. They have finally decided to let me have some neuprogen so hopefully my counts will stay up and I can remain on schedule. My first scan will be in about 3 weeks so I'm hoping to enjoy some good news as well. I'm so happy for your clean scan Ta, be well. Aaron0
