Joan I understand what you feel but I will be thinking of you hoping your next message will be NED! I had a PET/Scan 10 days ago and I am going to have a MRI of my sternum in 4 hours. I was always worried of the results but these exams were easy. Now I just can't stand going in the tubes. I even get claustrophobia now. I have to take something to calm me down before otherwise I may not be able to stand the stress. I wasn't like that at all before. This time is terrible because a spot lit up on the Pet. I am hanging on to the idea it is the same place on my rib near the sternum where the surgeon scrapped the cartilage and the bone to pass an artery when I had my breast reconstruction. That place always hurts when I press on it since surgery. I already had that checked after a Pet 7 months ago but this time, they seem much more concerned even speaking about a biopsy of the sternum.
In my tube I will think of you. You are my reference. You helped me so much. "Joan did it, so I can also" and I will be hoping for another NED for you.
Hugs, Michka
