    I ben told by the person at

    I ben told by the person at the PET scan that it may take up to 3 hours. I am really worry the most about the if I will be hooked into urinary catheterization. Did you guys ?

    Nope

    Not for me, Bill.  I suppose if your cancer involves your bladder or kidneys, it's possible.  I have been catheterized in the past due to surgery.  It's primarily briefly slightly uncomfortable during insertion and removal but not too bad.  While  it was inserted, I constantly felt like I had to urinate which was odd as my bladder was empty.

    I know you have fear and anxiety over all this and it's understandable.  We can be our worst enemies with anxiety.  I don't recall if you are on medication for anxiety but I promise it helps.  I'm pretty sure for me, the PET scans didn't last three hours though.  When you get a chance, it would be helpful for us here if you would fill out your profile (about me) section of your profile.  That makes it easier for us to reference some of your details without having to rely on memory or searching through posts :).  

    All of this will get a little better once you start treatment and it becomes more routine.  It won't be a picnic but you will get through it , Bill.  Good advice from many here is to take things one day at a time and focus on gettng through the steps.  You are always welcome here.  We're all in this together.

    Sending you big hugs and positive thoughts,

    Jim
