Monday scan

Postby pollo65 » Fri Dec 05, 2014 5:10 pm

I have a scan on Monday due to (kidney) back pain. It just seems to make me more anxious, you would think after 5 years 10 months it would get easier but it just does not. Good luck to everyone scanning this coming week.

All the best to you, Pollo. It doesn't get much easier. We can try to distract ourselves but it's like a dark cloud hanging over our heads.....
Best wishes for a clean scan and that the pain is related to something which is nothing to worry about and easily fixed xx

I have a PET scan on Tuesday. ...... X rays sinse the last scan show abnormalities in my chest cavity. Looks different than the large colony of mets that have set up shop in my lungs. I have been forewarned not to expect good news.

Surprisingly, I feel no anxiety whatsoever. I have been stage 4 for over 5 years now and have had many of these. If it was totally up to me, I wouldn't even bother. I don't plan on making any effort to slow things down, so what is there to be gained from knowing that cancer has upped the stakes yet again ?

Once again, I dare cancer to hit me with his best shot; FIRE AWAY !!
No matter what, It can only kill me once anyway. I love taunting the little bastard.

All through my cancer journey, I have been the Poster Boy for the things NOT to do if you develope cancer. Right from the start, I decided not to give cancer an inch of recognition, not one inch !
I have carried on with all my unhealthy habits and even added a few more to the mix. This has caused my oncologist a lot more frustration and anxiety for him than for myself. He gets so excited when I don't take him seriously.

I will get the PET scan results on the 16th. The last time I taunted cancer this way, he gave me a new inoperable tumour in my nasal passages without any warning. Even so, I am only a little curious to see what this devil has been up to between scans.
