    I had my PET-CT scan today.  It took 2 hours.  Wow.  What a scan.  Anyway I pray all is well.  My doctors office will have the results back by Monday the Radiologist office said.  My appointment to get the results is not until next Thrursday but I of course will be on the phone with Onc Office Monday.  I am impatient I guess.  I got a copy of the 2 scans I had in 2010 and the one from Oct 2011 to compair and radiology office said they only wanted my last most recent one.  Crazy thing is the last one was the scan that showed something in my l

    I had my PET-CT scan today.  It took 2 hours.  Wow.  What a scan.  Anyway I pray all is well.  My doctors office will have the results back by Monday the Radiologist office said.  My appointment to get the results is not until next Thrursday but I of course will be on the phone with Onc Office Monday.  I am impatient I guess.  I got a copy of the 2 scans I had in 2010 and the one from Oct 2011 to compair and radiology office said they only wanted my last most recent one.  Crazy thing is the last one was the scan that showed something in my lung and liver and none of the other scans had anything noted that was not normal.  I do have an appointment with the New Melanoma Clinic in Grand Rapids next Friday and will be taking all scan copies and pathology reports with me for them to review and the people reviewing now are not melanoma specialists.  Until I get results back and everyones opinions I will not know what the immediate future holds yet and it drives me crazy.  I also have an appointment next Wednesday at Dermatoligist office to have that bump on my neck looked at and possibly biopsied.  I will keep updating as I found out more. Praying for NED!!

      Lauri,

      I hope your scans are clear!  I know how you feel about the waiting, although I haven't been scanned in almost 2 years.  I hope you like the new center at Grand Rapids.  You'll have to give us your opinion. 

      Take Care.

        Scanziety is the worst and Im not even the patient. I sit there waiting for my dad before we get results and the stress is always extreme. Stay positive Laurie and hope those results are great.
