Hello CTALK folks.

Been a while since I've been active, but I just got back from my 3 year CT scan. Well Surgery was 4/16/17 and last chemo was 10/26/17 - So I'm presuming this is 3 years.
I haven't had much anxiety, but you know now waiting for results its creeping in a bit.

I've got so many plans and projects going on, I certainly hope the news is good! Building a house for one.
Took an Iceland trip at end of 2019 - amazing. Still biking tons, trying to LIVE as much as possible.

Well wishes to all,

Keeping my fingers crossed, wish me LUCK. From what I've read 3 years is a pretty big one. Of course 5 is even better

cheers.

Good luck!!! 3 yrs is awesome.

Good luck! Get some good results and share the positivity!

Hoping for clear scan!! Good Luck!!

Thanks All!

I have to admit, I'm really anxious.

Why? Cause I have not seen my results on my online charts yet.

In the past I've always gotten scan results the same night or at most a day later. Here we are 6 days post scan and I've not heard a peep.
Nothing on my online chart, no phone call, nada.

It really hit me hard with anxiety and effected my overall mood and demeanor.

I've at least calmed down some, but looks like I won't know for certain until my oncologist appointment on Thursday.

My GF says its most likely Coronavirus delays. Perhaps. I guess the last blood test I got I didn't get results until seeing the doc either, even though it was in the normal range at 2.3.

That was only a 3 day wait though.

I did have an echocardiogram done a couple months back and didn't get results back for several days either. The doctor called about 5 days after the test and gave good results with that one and the online results came in about a week later.

The hospital did get bought out by Providence and lots of changes have occurred as result as well. So who knows.


Still praying all is well..

I got something in my charts online today!



Maybe someone was reading this thread. LOL


AHHH, what a relief.


Thanks to ALL for your well wishes. I feel like I now have the freedom to keep with my daily pursuits.


Keep the Faith! Hold on to Hope!
