ROFL!

Time for my annual 'scanfest'....Mammogram and MRI for my breast cancer, MRI (maybe CT...the insurance is balking on the MRI) for my rectal cancer, DEXA scan for my chemo-induced osteoporosis!

But then I'll be 'right as rain'!

Wish me luck!

Hugs, Kathi

    hoping all the test results are positive ones! One test I will not miss is the mammo. I had bilateral mastectomy and surgeon said I get x-ray once a year from now on. Yah!

    Kathi,
    Good luck and happy
    Kathi,
    Good luck and happy results with all of these. I try to do all my check ups in the same month. Can't get them on the same day but if I do them all in October then I am pretty well done for a year (except the breast which is 6 months). But this way I don't forget to schedule something. I usually do breast, uterine, bladder (cytoscopy), and skin. Now I have added yearly colonscopy and endoscopy. It's a busy month but some can be combined (cystoscopy and colonoscopy). The one test that is done off this schedule is the bone density but it's done in April with my 6 month breast check up. Hope that the insurance will cover the MRI. It's such a pain in the a$$ (pun intended) when they get nit picky.
    Let us know when you get all the good news.

    Only two down today....
    Scheduling messed up on the MRI for the breast...they need the results from the mammo...rescheduled to Monday (10 days from now) to give the radiologist time...

    The MRI for my abdomen was in HMO approval limbo, so no abdomen stuff today...

    The DEXA scan was a bit discouraging...I still have full-on osteoporosis, worse in my hip than my back...but both are more than -2.0. So, the Actonel is a must, and the calcium, and the weight-bearing exercise. They scanned my 'bad' hip,the one that took the brundt of the rads for the rectal cancer...so, I still think that my OTHER hip (that they didn't do) is much better...(truly irritating, my optomism...ROFL!).

    My CEA is very low, and my CA19 (? for breast cancer markers) is, too...all is good there.

    So, all, it looks like you all are stuck with me for awhile longer...6 years since dx will be the day after Thanksgiving...and, unless the results say different...I AM as 'right as rain'!!!

    Thanks for all the great energy today!!! I love you all!!

    Hugs, Kathi

    Sorry to hear you have to
    Sorry to hear you have to wait 10days to go thru all you re-testing. But God willing it will all be clear and worth the wait. Praying for you.
