                      Hi Mike, so your doc thinks you are a pain in the neck!!! Melanoma humor!!! Don't forget to tip the medical staff if they get the IV on the first try!!! I bet they will make you hold your breath for like a minute now that they have to include the neck as part of the scan. You should start practicing holding your breath ahead of  time or as we like to spell it in Canada "practising". Have fun and let us know what the scans showed!!! Ed

                        Good luck Mike! Here’s hoping to the best scan results you can get. Mine’s not till October and I’m already extremely nervous. Like more so than ever before. My last scan had me go STABLE!! which is awesome but that means this next scan really hinges on my cancer staying stable or reducing in size. But those are my own anxiety issues I need to work out. Your scans are going to be great, I know it.

                        Thanks!

                          Hope the scan went smoothly, Mike! If you sweet talk the nurses, they may play some music over the speakers for you 🙂
