      Hello all, havent posted in quite a while.  I'll be going for my annual PET/CT scan in a week and a half (I alternate PET/CT and CT every 6 months).  Hoping for the best and if scans are clear, I will have reached the 4 year NED mark!  Hoping and praying!

          We all know scanxiety all too well.  Horrible feeling.  Try to keep yourself and your mind as busy as possible over the next week and a half.  Hoping and praying for good news.  Please keep us posted. 

          My husband has a CT & MRI coming up April first.  Hoping and praying as well.
