Hi everyone, I has been a crazy time for me, sorry that I have not logged on sooner, but I have a couple of questions, for anyone to answer,
1. my genetic test has come back to the oncologist, I do not go back until Jan 5, 07, any6thing that I should ask my onc. ? 2. Also when should I get the blood test that he wants me to have. I just realized that in a little over one month that I go back to my gastrointerologist to see about another colonoscopy. Hope that I can get one done this year yet. It not it will be a big part of next years deductible for my insurance.

thanks,

Ladybug

    Hi Ladybug,

    I remember you. It is good to hear from you. I also remember that you saw your oncologist and were told that you don't need to do anything. Am I wrong?

    I don't know about blood test but I know that colonoscopy is usually repeated 1 year aftet the initial one.

    Hope you are feeling fine and the bible school is going strong!

    Best wishes, Eleonora

    2. Yes, sigh....once a year, just in time for the new deductible to hit!!!!
    I have a $1,000 yearly one...so I just feel like sending a check to my hospital on Jan 1!!!!

    1. Can't you schedule and appt with your onc before that, if you want the results?

    Sigh...can't even answer questions in the right order....
    Hugs, Kathi

    I don't remember the last posts you had but if the results are back he/she should be able to give them to you or at least have someone in the office explain them to you. I do not see why you would have to wait. What blood tests are being requested.
