JB Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Alright Kasey, not exactly what we were looking for, but I like Cat127's explanation that it may jsut be residue. So I'll be hoping and praying that's exactly what it is. After your next scan you'll be NED again. Please keep us posted and know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.

chloesmom Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Hi Kasey, I'm thinking artifact all the way! I feel bad that you have to wait, and, believe me, waiting is not my strong suit, but I just don't see where there is anything else to do but re-scan in 3 months. April will come fast, and I'll be thinking of good results for you every day between now and then. Cindy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maryanne Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Hi Kasey, Sorry to hear about this dilemma. Let's not jump to any conclusions until the test is taken over in 3 months. I know how stressful this can be but in a way it is good news as they are not sure so it is not a definite Let's just wait and see. Sorry about your arm Maryanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LovesLife Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Ok Kasey, at the risk of sounding like a "crowd hanger-on-er" I too think that 3 months seems like an awfully long wait; however, I too believe that this "artifact" will have decided he/she/it doesn't like hangin' out in your "house" and will dissolve into nothingness. Sounds like an episode of Star Trek! Seriously, I will be there with you and everyone else wringing hands and worrying, but I do truly believe that in the end this will just be a big nothing. Keeping you (and your sweet husband) in my prayers. Linda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teriw Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Hi Kasey, I'm so sorry you received the unsettling reports. I too am voting for "artifact." Especially after all of those NEDs, it makes sense to me. Keep being YOU! You're a valuable treasure. Hugs, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.S. I Love You Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Gotta be a glitch. In April you'll be back on track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cat127 Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Oh sure, Jackie had to go and actually get a definition of artifact! But see, from the actual definition, it is even more things than what I am used to seeing. I think everyone is right, though it is a long wait, I am betting that whatever it is, it won't be there on the next scan. Until then, the question will be, how many jokes can we all make about artifacts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendyr Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Well Kasey, we may be 'older than dirt' but an artifact I'm with everyone else and part of the 'me too' crowd. I hope the next 3months flies by and you get your NED then. wendyr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasey Posted January 10, 2008 Author Share Posted January 10, 2008 Gosh, you guys can bring a person right back from feeling badly. The definitions of artifact really DO help. This is the first time I've had any trouble with an injection going awry. The IV was already in from the brain MRI, so the PET gal just had to juice me up. I could feel it seeping into my arm. It 'looked' okay at that point and we just forged ahead . By the time I got to the doctor's the next morning, my arm was swollen and black and blue and purple. He wasn't happy about that. It totally explains what he meant by artifact! Thank you ~ like a gazillion times. I'm not going to worry one IOTA about this again! From now on, however, I would like to be referred to as the 'resident relic' of the board ! You guys are just the absolute BEST there is!!!! With love and gratitude!!!!

Tiny Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 RR (alias Kasey) Pullin' for you and trying to hurry along the next 3 months. I know the wait is agonizing. Sending my best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Littlegirl Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 I turn my back for a bit and when I come back I find you collecting ARTIFACTS??? There is no doubt in my mind that we will soon be hearing the NEDs from you again! Karen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexan Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Sorry to hear I was convenced that it was going to be NED, but it will be in 3month. I hate that you have to wait that long hugs, love & prayers bucky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geri Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Resident Relic! Is this just another way of saying "old broad"????? Glad to hear you're not dwelling on this, my hands are aching already from one days wringing. love Geri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasey Posted January 10, 2008 Author Share Posted January 10, 2008 Yes, Geri, it IS just another way of saying 'old broad'!!! Thanks for pointing that out ! Love you in spite of it! Kase Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrea Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 I am so hoping it is nothing. As you know, although it is easier to say than not to worry, many many spots are not cancer. My dad has a few benign spots hanging in there. So often things just show up. Hoping this is all just a scare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick C Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 #1, why don't dr's speak english!!!??? #2, I'm unhappy to hear there is something of an artifact or whatever, not because that means it is bad news...but because I am sure for the next three months it will be nerve racking for you...naturally. Hopefully you can blow off any of that anxiety steam to us here and three months from now the artifact is gone or just nothing!. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fillise Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 An artifact, hmmmm, sounds like a job for an archeologist. Calling Indiana Jones (I could stand an "examination" from Harrison Ford). Susan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
