wow Andi
It is so very nice of you to remember and keep me in your prayers. I really have NO idea of what the scans will say. I'm just trying to forget about it for today-the messy house is helping.
Your post really touched me, thank you.

Joy, add my hugs, prayers and good vibes to the crowd. I'm always amazed at your enthusiasm and spirit, even when you are dealing with fearful matters.
There is always a higher power at work, and although the answers are not ours to give, prayers of the faithful are powerful indeed.
Good luck tommorrow - please let us know how things turn out!
Much love
Chris

i can feel your hugs and wishes
When I checked the site today and found all of your wishes and hugs I for real felt them!!! thank you so much for the well wishes! I had the CT and go back for the bone scan later today-you know, the fun never ends. And as Tom Petty says, "the waiting is the hardest part." More to come and it is so very great to know that you are all out there.
