Lori51 Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Hello Everyone, Well, tomorrow is the day of my first PET scan. I'm scared but also anxious to get going. Won't have any news until Friday when I see the surgeon for the first time. The anxiety is overwhelming. These past two weeks seem like an eternity. If I use the pm button to respond to any one of you directly will you get my message or do I need to do something special? I'm still trying to find my way around the site. Thanks again to everyone for being out there. You all seem like an incredible bunch of folks. Hugs and prayers to all of you. Lori Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tami Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Good luck with your scan. As everyone has said the scan part is painless and easy. I just get restless from trying to lay still for a long time. The HARD part is the waiting after... For me the waiting is by far the most painful!! I had mine done the day after christmas and my doc called me on New Years day. The activity of the holiday helped keep my mind off things. prayers for good results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don M Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Lori, good luck with your scan. I have always experienced some apprehension at the moment I read the report. I hope your's is a good report. Don M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplelady47 Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Hey there Lori ~ Like everybody said, the PET scan is easy, but terribly boring and takes a long time. Waiting for the results is the most difficult part of it. I wait 24 hours and then call the ordering Doctor to lessen my anxiety. Remember that we are here for you.
