Andrea Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 It is that time again---my mom is geting PET, abdomen, pelvic, chest and brain scans on August 6. I now have a dilemma, I was going away to Tahoe on a trip with my husband and his frined Aug 8-11. Everyone says I should go b/c there is nothing I can do anyway.

Don Wood Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 I agree with "everyone" -- go on the trip. You need to do that for yourself and your family. Keep in touch by cell phone or something. Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrea Posted July 28, 2004 Author Share Posted July 28, 2004 I am going on the trip I will just be looking at my cell phone frequently Heehee. It would do my mom more harm if I didn't go. Besides, like she said, what can I do if it shows anything. The onc said something interest, the onc said it will take 3 working days for the results b/c they do a special comparison of the old and new scans. However, if there is something major, the radiologist will likely call him right away and she will likely get called sooner. He does expect uptake in the surgery area. He is optomistic scans will be good, but doctors are arrogant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimblanchard Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 Glad you are going on the trip. We are thinking it is best to pursue normal life as much as possible, as the troubles we are going through are actually a part of normal life ... Anyway, the results will take a while and they can always call you if needed. A change is as good as a rest, or something like that. Happy Tahoe!!

Nushka Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 Tahoe is beautiful so enjoy. Just call your mom frequently and enjoy your vacation. If you gamble put a dollar in the slots for me. I did that with my hall pass and got a real fuss from Ry. Nina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrea Posted August 3, 2004 Author Share Posted August 3, 2004 I talked to the physician assistant yest on an unrelated matter and she said if we call Fri late afternoon, she could most likely get us a preliminary report. So I can base my trip on what we hear on Fri sicne I leave on Sun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
