Before both of my PET/CT scans valium was ordered and I never even asked. I am not claustrophic and I suppose could have done the test but geez, especially after initial diagnosis when I had my first one I was so anxious, nervous, depressed and didn't know what to expect I truly appreciated those valiums. As a matter of fact they said "we'll give you 2 because you are so nervous" and boy did I love those valium. I remember that I felt so happy and calm and truly loved the feeling (this was 2 weeks after diagnosis and trust me I hadn't felt happy OR calm once in those 2 weeks)

So, Patty, you go for it girlfriend..............and kick that surgeon of yours to the curb. Geez, does the guy have a heart......obviously not.

Sending love and hugs your way,

Mary Jo
