So on tuesday we will find out if my lung mets have really increased in size, or if they were merely swollen by my immune systems production of T cells on the road to the abscopal effect and remission.

Ah, experimental science, dontcha love it!

I hope good news comes after Tuesday. You are in my thoughts and prayers, I pray for your health along with your old students who are doing the same in four continents. My C.T is scheduled on Tuesday too, so we share scanxiety.

I know your stance on praying--So I'll be sending you positive thoughts while I am thinking of you on Tuesday.  (I can't help myself....I'll sneak in a prayer too.)

I'd love to say I'll be thinking of you both all day long on Tuesday, but that would be a lie. So I'll think of you before and check in sometime after. Tuesday I get to be in the sleep-while-they-work phase, then the sleep-until-they-wake-you-up-to-huff-and-puff-or-walk phase. 

All the best to you both -- !

Thanks, Foots --

I feel as though I've been circling the field since May / June. It'll be good to not just land (a soft one, preferably, yes) but to taxi on over to the hanger.

I'd hope it'd be respectfully done, Donna.  I'd hate to hear that God gave you a time out for talking back.

Oh, and thanks. I'll take good thoughts, prayers, candles lit, whatever, any day (As long as you're not praying for God to give ME a time out).

:-D

a couple got larger, but most got smaller. You'll get the news and be disappointed that you aren't more excited. In 2 weeks you will be excited and grateful. Congrats on the news.

Darn, Jojo --

If we'd only planned ahead, we could've gotten matching Tuesday Group tee-shirts.

OK, now I'm really ticked that we didn't have the foresight for the tee-shirts.

PS My kidney says -- What they did, and you want a TEE-SHIRT?!

Thank you all for wishing me luck
A good point about living in eastern countries is that sun rises sooner and day begins sooner which helps me to get rid of scans sooner :) my scan is finished and I'm on a roller coaster, one Moment I'm stressed out thinking of possible not so good report and the next Moment I'm extremely happy thinking of possible NED report. I'm more positive than ever overall.
Footstomper, hope your busy day ends with happy news.
Jerzygrrl, wish you a successful uneventful surgery.

I seem to remember somebody (Foots) telling me very recently that "boring is brilliant".  Good news with the shrinking of the one tumor and stability with the others.

FS that is some progress anyway, the boring ones did the grow or stay the same?  If they stayed the same that is something.  Boring isn't bad.

I'm glad to hear one tumour down!!! We also get the news, everything is the same or stable and they call that good news too. I think my definition of good would be "your cured!, NED".  But we will take what we can get.

welllllll, sort of. When you arrive late, you just have to cheer good news and great results, as I hope they are being spread around to all involved.  Sorry y'all have to be stressed at any time of year, or any day of the week, too.

Boring {:<    Now, Celebrate };>

Hugs to all,
