Andrea Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 Does anyone else get cranky, irritable and feel ill when it is scan week for their loved one? Tomorrow will be the FIRST scan my mom has had since treatment started. The only quantative thing we know is CEA went down. I am jumping out of my skin. I am cranky. I even look depressed. I went for my wedding dress fitting today and my mom saw it on my face no matter how hard I tried. Of course it does not help when my bridal dress consultant told me how much she loves my mom and broke down crying to me, but did not want to do it to my mom We get the results on Friday at oncologist visit. TOo bad I cannot be right there in the tech booth when it is done! AAAHH!! Done whining. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natalie Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 I pray that both of your scans come out good! You both hang in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shirleyb Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 I am praying for the best for both of you. Not unusual for the crankies to come out when you are under so much stress. Take a deep breath, and keep on keeping on. That is what we do best. Much love, shirley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimblanchard Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 I think you would be crazy if you weren't on edge. I think the only time more stressful for me than waiting for results are the times when we have tried to decide on which treatment plan is best. Back in June, we had two doctors telling us to have surgery and two telling us not to. That was horrible. But the wait is excruciating because there is little between elation and terror. Here is hoping for two sets of elation. Curtis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karen335 Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 Andrea & Jen, Prayers for both of your moms' to have clean scans. The hardest part is waiting for the results. You are on pins and needles, part of you wants to know and the other part is not wanting to know. Take a deep breath and keep a positive thought... God Bless and gentle hugs Karen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
