I can honestly say, I never understood the anxiety posted about getting your CT scan reports before you got them. I now understand. I've been waiting anxiously for tomorrow to get here to hear the results of my Scan last Monday, now that tomorrow is near, I'm worried and anxious, will it be good news? Bad news?
I realize I don't want to hear bad news. What if's suck don't they?

    I must be lucky, my doc
    I must be lucky, my doc always gives me the results the same day. That is anxiety enough for me.. Hang in there... Think positive.

    Well...


    If after the scan, they don't ask for cash on your way out the door,
    it's probably a good sign you'll be around a bit longer.


    just sayin'.

    I am having a scan today and
    I am having a scan today and will get the results next Wed. I know excactly how you feel. I try to put it out of my mind and not worry about it, but it is nearly impossible. My last Pet scan was questionable, so it makes me even more nervous about this CT. Brenda

    Oh My Gosh
    I am sooooooo happy, tears kept having to be blinked away at the onc's office.
    In February I was offered Hospice (same week I got diagnosis)and advised to go home and enjoy life. I, being whom I am, insisted I wanted to try that chemo stuff, I have grandchildren and at the time another on the way, I just wasn't ready to go home and die.
    They told me my liver wasn't resectiable and it was so bad I couldn't even get a transplant.
    The tumor that was in my right kidney is now GONE. The tumor that was in my right ovary is GONE. My Liver is down to TWO tumors and they have SHRUNK!!! The tumor on my right side colon (the whole reason I discovered I had cancer, it had blocked my colon and I could no longer eat and poop, I could just eat and throw up everything I ate) is now UNDETECTIBLE!
    I have now been offered surgery to get rid of the tumor that is at my sigmoid (hope I spelled that right) and uterus, and yes NOW they are offering a resection (sure I'm spelling that wrong) of my liver, cutting out the tumors.
    HOW'S THAT FOR A GREAT CT SCAN!!!
    Thanks all for your comments and the prayers.
