I got my scan this morning. The technician said" My, you have lost some weight since the last time you were here." . I had to confess that I had gone through 6 weeks of chemo/rad, two surgerys, and 1 intermitant hospital stay, since October. The rest of the procedure went very efficiently, and not much more was uttered by the tech :roll:

Put me down for a CT on the 20th. This will be #5 or so--I'm starting to glow in the dark!
Hard to get away from that anxiety thing--depending on what they find, life can change real quick. On the other hand, you have to continue living life as best you can.
Good luck to all.

Hey all,

Best of luck this week! I will be having a CT on the 18th. This is after almost 3 months off chemo. Not expecting much since the most recent PET was good and laparoscopic 3 weeks ago only had a tiny spot. You just never know though until its done and over with.

Cheers to the white yucky stuff!

I am scheduled for the 19th. I am 2.5 years past diagnosis. Yep, just scheduling the darn thing and a flood of emotion and anxiety come to life. In between scans I am fine, but the month of my diagnosis and at scan time, I am a wreck.

Wishing you all CLEAN scans and many more to come!

The most dramatic offering I can contribute is a port flush today, but sending posi+++++++++ vibes and best wishes to all the scanners and planners this week.

Cheers all !

My onc's assistant just called and said" the doctor just wanted you to know your PET scan came back excellant". I guess that makes me NED :D I was surprized this didn't require an office visit. I sure am glad I recently switched oncs!

I don't have a scan scheduled but I go see my Onc tomorrow, follow up and labs. I have a question, I finished chemo in Jan of 2011, last scan was June 2011, how often do they normally do scans after you've completed treatment? Thanks :)

I had my scan this morning. Even after 5+ years, I still get a little nervous (being honest). Hopefully my GP will send me a quick email telling me everything's ok. If not, I pick up the results tomorrow for my surgeon (appt this Friday - 4/20 - ironically 5 years to the day from my surgery) and I'll get to read them then.

Good luck everyone.
