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!

Joy,
Praying for good results. It's great that you don't have too long to wait until you see the doctor for the results. That's the worst part -- the waiting.
