ONE LAST THING -- I HAVE MY DOCTOR REQUEST same day results AND GET UP EARLY (WHICH IS NOT MY THING GENERALLY) to get the first appt, which I schedule 45 days in advance, in accordance w/my insuranco co's requirements. Sometimes, I know by 11 AM. SOMETIMES, I must call my doc's office and ask them to get on the case. The imaging center closes promptly at the stroke of 5 o'clock. I explain that neither my husband nor I will take a breath until we hear. Sometimes we have to wait until 4 o'clock. But we get the results SAME DAY! An eormously relieving experience, I don't have to tell you.

Once I had scans on a Fri. Things got messed up, my doc wasn't in the office to ok release of the info, and Paul and I had to wait an entire weekend to hear. We were beside ourselves with anxiety. BE GOOD TO YOURSELF and look out for your best interests, making the process as easy as you possibly can -- and staying on top, in control.

LOVE,
ANDREA
