Scan Time - should I wait?
Sorry, I feel petty bring this up but I could use some advise.
My onc would like me to have another scan. The skin issue as far as we can tell is under control. My last scan in May was clear.
I want to delay the scan until the first of the year unless I develop a cough or pain. My onc isn't thrilled and my family is a little concerned.
I can't stand the thought of possibly getting bad news before the holidays. Especially for my children who deserve to have a normal, fun Thanksgiving & Christmas.
I'm I being foolish? Please let me know what you think. I'm open to your thoughts.
Thanks.
