Oh, I couldn't agree more with grace. It WILL be better than winning the super lotto. You'll hear the good news and you'll be so relieved and so happy that you did it. YOU CAN DO IT - relax and visualize like Becky said and then think of your super lotto prize when you hear the good news and you'll get through it.


God's Peace to you,

Mary Jo

Kerry,

Do you have any Ativan - My GP said I could take 2 x 1mg. tablets about 1/2 hour before the scan - and I did. One tablet would probably do it for you if you don't take them very often. Did the trick for me.
All the best - Hey, You're more than the critical 2 years out - keep us posted.

Kerry,

We all get anxious when we are scheduled for tests and even more anxious waiting for the results. This is completely normal. When you have your test just think pleasant thoughts. I will keep you in my prayers that everything turns out ok.

Kerry,

Sending you warm hugs and prayers. The scans make us feel so anxious. But like the other ladies have said, just wait 'til you hear the sweet words we love,"NED"!

Hugs and Prayers,
Lexi
