Poor me, I actually opened the dictionary trying to find the word 'inscanity'. Only the original 'in-scan-ity' helped me to figure it out .

Well, it proved again that English is still my 2nd language...

I called the nurse practitioner this pm and then went to the clinic before she answered my call - Scott & White had just built a new wing for the Cancer Center (with a direct, seperate entrance) and there are windows through which you can see the greens and trees out by the parking lot, very pleasant. After I waited for the 45 minutes the receptionist had estimated, my oncologist came out of the door and greeted me. He checked the place of my concern and told me that they were the joints of the muscle and rib. I must have twisted or bumped it somehow to have caused the pain.

It is hard to deal with patients like me who not only has possibly chemo brain, but also have cognitive issues related to the Gamma-knife and brain surgery. I simply could not remember how and when I might have hurt myself. (Stretching while walking? Possibly.)

Staff on the oncology ward probably are familiar with both insanity and inscanity. And I wonder if I would have been going to the clinic so often had it not been located just 10 minutes from the house and is right next to H.E.B. (grocery store) and the Mall.

Do I feel completely assured? Not really, since my scans had been misread for 4 full years before my recurrence was found. Am I going to have a panic attack soon? Probably not. Since I've learned how unsympathetic the local authority are.

I'll be vigillant until I see my 'beloved' (yes, my Mother-in-law granted me permission because 'everybody falls in love with their doctors') Dr. Ruud ( a Norwagian descent) who just might be a distant cousin since my hubby's side are originally from Sweden.

Do you think I am in-sane or in-scan?
