SAndy Dear, Please know that we are all pushing for a great scan. You have been a big inspiration to me and so informative (we have the same IBC). You have taught us all so much and your bravery has helped me more than you will know. My prayers reach up to God tonight for good news tomorrow. Let us know how it goes. Much. much love, Vickie

It's probably too early yet, but do you know anything from your scan/s?? I've been thinking about how it's going for you.
