| CT scan in the morning | Views: 288 |
I am feeling anxious. My nerves have been shot all day. Tomorrow morning I will be leaving at 0630 to make the 2 1/2 hour trek to get to the imaging center for my CT scan.
There is so much riding on this scan. If there is any sign that the cancer has returned, I will proceed directly to chemo. I was diagnosed with cancer in January and here it is October—I really need to get back to work & back to living my life. I feel like the last 10 months of my life have been on hold. I have been living in fear, from one scan to the next.
I pray that this scan comes out clear & free of any tumors. Any & all prayers are greatly appreciated.
Thank you to all my blogging buddies for keeping me sane the last couple of months. I will keep you posted on the results of the CT. I had better get started on my contrast (gag).
Love & hugs,
Monica

I am thinking of you. I hope all goes well with your scan.
Monica; Just became your supporter. Sometimes it takes a while for me to go to the general posts to see who has joined. I support a lot of people so I am answering their posts first before I get to the general box.
Well it’s the day after your scan so that is atleast over with. Now the waiting and I can feel for you on that score. Sometimes I wonder why they can’t do the readouts right away and book you into the Oncologist a couple of hours after the scan. Aren’t we there yet? I know they do it for ultrasounds up here because that is how it works with my surgeon. He just goes to his computer and zap there are the results, 2 hrs. after. I like that, and maybe one day it will be like that for ct’s and mri’s. Until then we wait wait wait. stress stress stress.
I hope your results find everything in tact and that you can skip out the hospital door with Spring in the air.

Monica,
I, like Weezie, just checked the general posts and found yours. I pray for your results to be cancer free. I so understand the anxiety that comes with the waiting. Fortunately my neurosurgeon sees me 30 minutes after my MRI and not only are the results on her computer, but I hand carry a CD with everything on it to give her. I get tense because the MRI center is one block away from the cancer center and I stress about making it down the street in time for my neuro appt. after the MRI. I had my last MRI on Monday and the results were good. My brain tumors (mets from my lung cancer, twice now) are shrinking after my gamma knife radiation. So since I had a good result, I know there are good vibes floating around Northern California and I pray you will get them too. My general MRI’s and CTs take a week to get the results, arghhh!
I read your daughter’s essay. It was so dear. My daughter is 19 but was 17 when I was diagnosed. She too has been amazing. You are so lucky to have such a wonderful daughter. Daughters are the best gift we can have when we need love, care and support. Sounds like you have nurtured a very special relationship. She is a treasure. Let us know your results. We are here for you. Gaile in Sacto
Thank you all so much for your comments. It means so much to me to have you all here. Just knowing you understand is so comforting.
I had my CT scan yesterday and this morning I went to have my blood drawn. Now I just sit and wait. I will be sure to keep you all posted.
Hugs to all,
Monica
Monica,
Just wanted to check in with you. Have you heard anything yet? You have been in my thoughts and prayers.
Take care,
