Barb1260 Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 I’m starting to feel like a big baby. My PET is Wednesday, my CT of my head is Thursday and the oncologist is Thursday afternoon. Of course I’m thinking the worst, stage 4 no hope. Hell, I went to the doc thinking my COPD diagnosed 15 years ago finally kicked in big time and came out with my head spinning and it hasn’t stopped. How do you think positive when every step so far is negative? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rower Michelle Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Hey Barb, This is probably the toughest week between the holiday & the all the diagnostic imaging. This is the big push to help determine the best course of action. None of this is easy for any of us. With the advances in treatment today there is always hope. Hang in there & try to find something joyful to do over the next few days. You will get through this.... Will hold you in our prayers. A big virtual hug to you.

BridgetO Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Hi Barb, Michelle has a good point about this being the worst week between it being holidays and all the testing. Scanxiety and holiday stress are a hard combination. Just put one foot in front of the other. If one day at a time is too hard, try one hour at a time. If that's hard, then 5 minutes. Break it down as small as you need to. You can do this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barb1260 Posted December 27, 2018 Author Share Posted December 27, 2018 Thank you-I’m on my way to get the PET results now with a list of questions. I just need one positive result out of all this no matter how small. If it’s anywhere else I give up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
