      I hope all goes well with your scans.  Keep your chin up and I hope you do well in your journey and selection.

      I am so glad that you posted and are feeling a bit better.  I have been thinking about you a lot.  I pray your scans go well…no progression or even remission (now that would be nice).  I believe you will be in good hands with Dr. Weber.  Keep smelling the roses and send me an e-mail anytime if you have questions about TIL or simply to e-mail.  Who knows maybe we'll meet up in Tampa some day..I go south to Arcadia and if all goes well during the next 3 weeks, I plan to get there again in January and February.  Fondly, Val

        Boots,

        I've been thinking about you since I havn't seen you on the board.  I'm sending prayers and good positive vibes your way for scans tomorrow.  I hope the chemo has slowed things down for you and even killed some of your mets – it's possible!

        Hang in there – you'll know soon enough.

      Boots,

      Wishing you the very best of luck with your scans tomorrow. Don also goes in for scans tomorrow. I have a feeling we'll be moving on to our own BRAF trial soon…

      Glad you're feeling a bit more like yourself!

      Scan anxiety reaches into your gut and brings up your worst fears…..  However, sometimes the results are better then expected also!  It sounds like you are in the middle of arranging Plan B which will be less toxic anyway!   Finish gathering your info and then attack!

      Next center you go to, make sure that they have the ability to give you the scan results either that day or the next.  At least for me, the anxiety of not knowing is actually worse then the news itself.

      Boots, just want to wish you good luck your results. Don't let scanxiety get to you, and
      try to take your mind off things if you can. I can't remember if you have tried
      meditation?

      Take care
