Pet Scan for Stage 1?

[swimangel72]

My insurance paid for my Pet Scan - but I think my onc wrote up a good explanation because of the small increase in tumor markers and the pain in my chest. My onc made me see a pulmonologist - who said everything sounds normal but he wanted me to get the chest Cat scan with contrast anyway as the radiologist suggested, so I did that last Friday. I return to hear the results this Friday afternoon. For some weird reason, I'm not experiencing my typical "scanxiety" waiting for the results. The pulmonologist also made me make an appointment with my cardiologist (haven't been to see him in over a year). Then out of the blue, my heart started racing one night while I was just laying on the couch watching TV. I emailed my BIL (he's an electrophysiologist and a friend to my cardiologist) and he said I need a 30-day heart monitor to see what's going on (he assured me it could be as simple as too much caffeine that day) - it should arrive on Thursday.

So the plot thickens........and I also have an appointment to see the general surgeon who placed the mesh in my stomach last summer because of a vague feeling of things not being right........I get a weird pulsing/throbbing sensation in the left side of my abdomen from my navel down to my groin; emailed my PCP who said I was at a very low risk for an aneuryism, and it was more likely something to do with the mesh surgery, sigh. So more doctor appointments............I really do feel well otherwise and tomorrow is the first day back to work at school. So today I decided since I can't control everything else in my life, I'll take charge of what I CAN control - namely my hair. Went to the salon and had my hair colored and cut - then had a pedicure - and just like magic, my world looks so much better!
