Joy, as you know I've been sending good vibes already for GREAT results to be shown on the scan. Good that you don't have to wait very long for the results - I know that is nerve wracking.

You really know how to have a good time - MRI AND CT on the same day! But that's a good thing; the last time I had a PET/CT I came back and told my boss that it showed "I am completely stable". His reply was "well, they must not have looked at your head". I was ready for him with "actually, they did, and the report said there was so much happening up there they'd have to do a different kind of test to catch up with it!"

Actually, now that I think of it, that was a much more fun response than "the MRI showed there is absolutely nothing in my head"

Will be thinking of you all day, please let us know how it went!
