Re: Pet/CT scan
Joan, and Michka, and anyone else going thru scans, I know how you are feeling and I hope NED is not too far off (for all of us!). I had brain/ct scans last week, I took half an ativan to get through it, the nurse said it would be like taking a stiff drink - she was right - it meant I got thru the day kinda sane. I got the results the same day for a change, they were good, brain clear, everything else decreasing, so I will remain on Gemzar/Herceptin/Tvverb and Zometa for another while.
Joan, it must be even harder when you have been NED for a while - but you got to NED - so you will probably still be NED- YES YOU WILL! Use ativan if you have to, visual imagry works well in the tube too. Let us know how it goes and very best wishes.
