Clean Scans

[Sheila]

Had my brain MRI yesterday and a bone scan....the body can only take so much dye at a time, both were fine except for the increased arthritis in my neck....old age is definately not for sissy's! Just the CT scan to go then I will have the all clear for another year or until something changes...I never take anything for granted with this disease, but getting good news is the best gift! I think I get more gray hair everytime scan time roles around....gotta keep the Loreal and Revlon stock moving up!

Such great news, Sheila! Keep the hair stuff close at hand for lots more years of scans and covering gray hair! ma

Congratulations Sheila. I know that peace of mind is worth a few gray hairs. I'll pray that the CT will be o.k. also. Enjoy your weekend with this good news.

Good news, Neck-Node Sister :D
It's a huge relief when we find out there's no progression; although dealing with the "same old nodes" does become tiresome at times, it's JUST tiresome. I also was relieved by my PET/Ct to check the neck and axilla nodes, and even though new ones are acting it hasn't travelled elsewhere. Still have my annual MRI to do in a couple of months though, keeping fingers crossed.
SO HAPPY FOR YOU!

Hi Sheila,

I am relatively new to the site, and want to wish you congrats with this good news - also to let you know how much I enjoy reading your posts - very reassuring to a newbie like me.

All the best,

congratulations, Sheila, on your scans!

I just had my first PET/CT and the doctor told me they were clean. Do you all ask for and/or get hardcopies of your scan results?

I've always asked for my pathology reports, but didn't know if scans had some written version given to patients.

Great news Sheila! Bag that CT and then celebrate big time!

Did I hear someone say "cosmo"?!

[rinaina]

Love hearing good news Sheila. Very happy for you. Keep those good scans coming. Did someone say Martini time? Count me in. Sheila, we aren't all that far from each other.

I always get a copy of all my reports, I get a CD of the brain MRI....I am starting to get a collection, might have to buy a case for them. Chrisy a cozmo would be perfect....! But then Rinaina might know some great places in Chicago to have one! Lets all put on the flip flops and meet for one....someplace warm!!!!!!

[Joy]

Just sayin'. I am so excited for you. I hope you have taken the deep breaths required after scan results. And I'm just deciding for you that the CT will give you the trifecta of clear scans!
