Re: Really Scared - Pet Scan Ordered

Re: Really Scared - Pet Scan Ordered

Thanks Ariana. I'm sorry that happened to you, but glad it wasn't anything worse. It's hard to get used to a body that seems to break down so much more easily and so quickly! I was diagnosed at 43...

Re: Do you ever feel like enough it enough

Amy, your comment about being a cancer patient being "The world's worst part time job" is so hilarious and perfect. I laughed out loud.

Re: To PET or not to PET?

Thanks Ladies. I emailed my oncologist to see if she wants to do this one. I had a suspicious CT Scan 6 months ago (which lead to a PET scan to show all was fine), so she may want to do it. But,...

Hi Ladies,

I'm coming up on my 2 year anniversary and my oncologist has me scheduled for one last PET scan next month. The last time she and I spoke, we mentioned that after this scan, we do a...

Re: Ever Expanding Waist line
