'Hidden messages' from techs??

[dianetavegia]

I had my CT scan first and then my MRI this morning. The radiologist was sitting at the desk next to the MRI tech. The tech and I chatted a bit and she got me my purse, then she patted me on my back and said 'Well, you're doing GOOD', big smile.

The CT tech was in the hall by the next door and she said 'It was so good to see you again.' Big smile (but then she's always been like that).

I hope I'm not reading things into this that aren't there but the MRI tech made me feel like everything looked good. Anyone else ever have stuff like this happen?

Anyhow, Other than getting a little shaky during the last 10 minutes of the MRI (had that 5 minute wait for the gunk to make it to the rest of my abdominal organs), I did GREAT. No anxiety and no upset tummy.

I've had this happen once and it was good news

I've got my fingers crossed that you're making it throughout he 31 months phase!!!

I hope you're right, Diane.

Diane, a big "YAY" for you that you got through it. I am very, very happy for you that you trudged through the long wait to get this done, and it sounds like with minimal anxiety! Should you take the tech's attitude as a very good sign that all is well? OF COURSE YOU SHOULD, dear! Techs are fantastic at being totally bland/neutral looking if something looks like a problem. When will you get the result?

Love,

Bev

Noon on Monday. My onc is out of town on a vacation....... again....... but he never calls, emails or takes calls. My leg could fall off and they'd give me the nurse's answering machine.

I really have done GREAT. So far, no none zilch anxiety! Asked you and other's to pray and all fear melted away! Peace like a river........ ♪♫♪♪♫ in'a my soul....... LOL

Thanks Kristi!

Oh....... and the 31 month thing. That was an error on my part. 31 months median is 1/2 of 5 years not saying that's when most recurrences happen.

It was also only referring to liver recurrence

At a median follow-up of 31.3 months (range, 4-138 months), a total of 19 patients (11%) had developed LR confirmed by systematic review of follow-up imaging. These included recurrence at the resection margin in 8 (5%) of the 150 patients treated with HR, with a median time to LR that was not reached by the time of analysis.

That seems like a very good omen Diane.

Positive hidden messages from the techs are good!
It's the instructive hidden messages from the tv you need to watch out for

Hope you get awesome news!

Oh Diane, you know we got you wrapped in prayer and sounds like so far so good.

Will keep you in my thoughts and prayers for more official good news.

I remember when I was pg with my 2nd child. The tech was so excited, she asked me what I had at home a boy or a girl, I said a girl, she almost burst and asked me if I wanted to know what I was carrying with this huge smile on her face!! I said no, but knew from her face etc it was a boy and it was!! I can't imagine having their job and having to keep a poker face all the time. Praying that your scan was good!!!!

I would take it as a positive sign:-)
