Re: Pet Scanxiety!

I recently posted my sad tale of something lighting up in my lungs which set off a big cancer scare resulting in unnecessary lung surgery. I dont mean to scare you but rather to reassure you that even when things seem dark they can turn out to be nothing at all. In my case, it was an old pneumonia apparently and should have been treated conservativly with antibiotics to see if it went away. So don't jump to conclusions and try not to let the doctors do it either. Sounds as though your doc is going to keep an eye on things. Keep the faith. Just cause we have had cancer doesnt mean that we cant get other ailments.
