Long Week!

Eims,

     That is the longest week most us have to go through, it sucks!  Although, watching the helmet and viagra may help to pass the time!

                          Love, prayers, and good health to you!

Done & Dusted

As you say, at least that's over with:)... I hope they send you confirmation! I hate it when you are told ' If you don't hear anything, then you can assume everything is fine.'  when it comes to something as important as these results, they should understand that it needs to be seen in writing!

My scans were originally next week, but because I had the op scheduled they were changed until the end of September. A little way to go yet!

Two weeks now for me!  No scans. . . too much radiation. . . Just chest x-rays. Getting those done in time for the follow up, bloodwork and other labs too before the appt. as well so I can get whatever answers they do find that day.

<Whistles a happy tune!>

Up & Coming Tests!

We will all be rooting for you next then Michael:-) I must admit I worry about the radiation levels. I have had three scans already this year. I will be glowing in the dark at this rate!

When I was a child, I developed ringworm.  No big deal these days. Back then, for a short period they used x-ray to treat ringworm.  Mine was on my scalp.  The Doctor significantly overdosed me. I have massive scars on my scalp, my hair, in the burned areas, never grew back.  Strike one! LOL

When I was small, shoe stores had fluoroscope machines sitting in the middleof the stores. You would put onnew shoes, then go put your feetuner the machine to look for distortion of the bones in your feet.  They were great toys to play with when you are 3, 4 and 5! They later discovered the danger and took them out! Strike two!

After hearing that, the urologist decided to simply do chest x-rays instead of scans, with scans one time a year. They are concerned about putting me into leukemia.

Its a great life if you don't weaken! Thats one of the reasons I am so chipper and gregarious!  I try to treat the whole person, not just the disease! Upbeat, positive engaement has its own healing properties, I believe!

Thanks for your good wishes!

Radiation

Blimey! Michael, I can understand the concern, at least you Urologist took that on board. I discussed alternative testing with my doctor, as I have had years of scans, but he felt that it was not a problem. Well no! not for him anyway!

You are so right, a holistic life style makes sense, everything has to be in rhythm. I have practiced Buddhism for over ten years now, which focuses on meditation and life force. It helps me to find a balance. Not everyone's cup of tea, I know, but it works for me.

I just spend a lot of time contemplating my navel-which is now distorted thanks to the surgery!
