So Far, So Good

in Uterine/Endometrial Cancer #1

I saw my gyn/onc today, who poked and prodded everywhere he could poke and prod.  He laughed when he said I am so slender that he can easily feel every lymph node in my groin area.  He spent a little more time during the rectal but didn't feel anything unusual, and said my vagina looked good.  Since we are close to 6 months since my last scan, he is going to go ahead and order another PET scan.  That will put me only a few weeks earlier than the planned schedule.

He said if I want, that I can come in and actually see the PET scan instead of him just emailing me the results, which I think would be cool, because I'm fascinated by stuff like that.  Anyway, feeling a little less stressed tonight.

Chris

    So glad to hear that good news!

    So glad to hear that good news! Hope the PET scan helps him figure out what's been causing you that the sensation of pressure so that it can be treated and you can get back to "real" life without that nagging worry hanging around! Kim

    There you go again!

    See! You made me and I bet a lot of others who read this smile! How can we not? You remind me of Gallagher who has such a talent for injecting humor into the everyday. Gets a smile or a laugh out of me everytime and I don't with a lot of other forms of humor. You missed your calling, but I sure love it!

    Chris, I will say a prayer and think positive for you on Thursday.  This is just so darn scary.  Not many can understand that huge ? mark.  But you have this one easy beazy lemon squeezy.
