Um.....

No point in fretting. Just be thankful your team is really on the case. Having said that: Good Luck

Hi Jay.  My experience is a little different from yours.  Mine started when a routine physical uncovered microscopic amounts of blood in my urine (which had never been there before and has never been found since, which is spooky on its own).  A CT scan revealed a possible lesion on my right kidney, but the hospital where I had the CT done suggested an ultrasound to verify.  I went in for the ultrasound and the tech took the readings, then left for a little while and came back and said "The radiologist wants me to take a few more readings".  Of course, my first thought was, "Oh, *(&%, I'm going to die."  He took the readings and then disappeared again and this time, the radiologist returned.  Which, of course, led me to think, "Oh *(&%, not only am I going to die, I'm going to die in two hours."  He took more readings and then said, "We can't find anything."  His suggestion was to get another CT scan.

I guess imagery isn't necessarily an exact science.

It's more than likely nothing.

I'm going with Jason's (Medic) assumption.  Good luck and keep us updated.

Hi Jay,

I don't know why medical staff always are so vague - being vague while being asked for another "live look" is going to make you fret either way!! Personally I would rather they were completely honest. Having said that it could just be them being thorough. I have had many sleepless nights since my nephrectomy, due to fretting over the "vague requests" and I always come out all right on the other end. Here's hoping for the best possible outcome for you!!

We will be anxiously awaiting your report. Here's to a restful night's sleep!

Hugs

Not only it causes unnecessary anxiety before seeing the report,  it also slows down the treatment process. I heard a story from a patient where he waited almost two weeks to see his GP after his US, waited another 6 weeks for CT, another week for report, 2 months to see the specialist and then finally 4 months wait for the surgery. The tumor was already 30% bigger compare to US. That is regarding diameter, in terms of tumor volume, it was doubled.

For cancer control, time is always one of the most significant factor.

Well, Jay, you brought your concern here, so let US take some of this anxiety from you. You need to be able to enJOY life NOW!

No one likes to hear, come back now for a closer look. I got that with a mammogram. Luckily, they had a radiologist come in immediatately afterwards to reassure me. There WAS something there, scar tissue, from a breast infection, but it looked like a lesions.

So I'll take some of your anxiety from you. I know, I know, we're human and not knowing is cruel sometimes.

Let us know as soon as you know.

Sending you calm, sendomg upi healing vibes with a warm hug!

That is some great news to wake up to today. 

Unlike my Cubbies but then I guess we have a series now.  Hopefully tonights game will be a winner for us in Chi-town, and of course you with sleep.

God bless,
