Make the plans

The wait is going to be awful as you know. Make the plans so you have something post test. You need the mental break. I may have missed  if you posted about the Relay you were going to do. Did you end up doing it? I'll be thinking of you Friday and sending positive thoughts.

Thank you for remembeing my Relay. It isn't until 9/29, so I'm still in the planning phase. I didn't realize as a team captain I'd be responible for providing a tent and everything that goes with it. But, it's going well, I've got good people. This is way out of my comfort zone, but I'm having fun with it.

I get it...

Many of us struggle with the pre-scan anxiety.  Since it does impact so many I put it in the "normal" category. 

To ward off the dark demons of negative thought, I try to remember what so many of our members have posted concerning this----think of it as preventative maintenence.  If something does pop up, we catch it early and small so getting rid of it is less difficult.  Fox has posted numerous time that we will be watched closer than we every had.  IMO this is good.  Yesterday the doctor told me for the first time that I'd have scans (one kind or another) the rest of my life.  If that's the case, I better get use to thinking of it with a positive spin.

Good luck, CR.  I look forward to your post with the results!

I see it more like the lottery that I get to play every 6 months. If I win, I get to live without worrying about it for another 6 months. If I lose, I have to do something else. So far, I've only lost once.

scan didn’t happen, the doc never called. No one called. They just cancelled. Got pissed off, re-scheduled, on for next week. Almost quit them. My GP urged me to go back. It’s been a bad day. To them it’s just appointments.

we try again. Called and confirmed my appt. once again, ready to go.

i get to the docs office, today. The girl said my co-pay is 40 bucks. So, I pay it. Then I start thinking, 40 bucks for a scan? It’s been 300 something, so I go up and ask. The girl said” no, you’re not scanning today.” I said “yes, I am.” She argues that I’m not. I said, “I’m either scanning today, or never coming back.” I told her I need to see the doc. He comes in and tells her I’m supposed to scan. She told him that there was no one there to do it. So, they send me down the street at a scan place, two hours later. 777 bucks! After another whole day fighting for my scan... I’m NED! But, still, I’m fighting over the billing. Me having to pay twice as much for their continual incompetence is not accetable. NED And annual scans!
