waiting on results !!!

[Anitafazz]

Had my PET scan this morning . Now the wait begins

Don't know why but i think i get more nervous every time . Wish i could find a way to control this anxiety .

I'm feeling good and just trying to go on with my day . Sometimes i wish i could just disappear and pretend I'm not sick .

Blah Blah I'm just going on and on . Hopefully ill get to hear what i wish to hear and go on with life . People just don't get it why im not in a chipper mood today , No one understands what's riding on this report . That's why I'm glad i got you guys . I hope everybody is doing well .Thanks for letting me rant !!!!!

Oh, Anitafazz, I could not agree (or commiserate) more!! The waiting is def horrible, for me, the time between the scan and readout is like the worst of it...It's like "someone knows the result (e.g. the radiologist? possibly the onc?)" yet "I" don't! It's just out of reach...ugh!

I feel your angst and hope you get good results!

Hi Anita,

I can understand how you feel. I had a PET CT scan today too (my second since 2018) and I am also hoping for the best so I can move forward with the next step. I am just going to try and stay busy and not worry too much about it until I get the results.

Take care,

Sophie

Thanks, Marianne. I don't know the results yet. I should know by the end of the week.

Hi Anita: Awful isn't it! The roller coaster as I like to call it. I have written this before. Not sure how long you have to wait to get results. I never wait. I know that 2 days after my scan the records department has the results. So I just call and they send them via email. They are usually easy to read and there is a summary at the end. You then can have your questions ready when your oncologist calls.

Hope this helps.

Cheers, June S.

It is so hard not to worry but worry is not good for us and does not change the outcome. I’ve been told this over and over but really hard to practice. Techniques ,deep breathing, meditation, exercise, keeping busy, doing something good for yourself (massage etc.) and of course a friend or a therapist. These are the remedies maybe redundant but hopefully 2 day (or more) wait will fly.

Anita!

Rant away! I have PET scan in two weeks and will be aware of same anxiety you are feeling!

Prayers for good results and a few stress-free months to follow!

Ugh! The waiting for results is always so terrible! I'm also working on trying to stay calm. No success yet. But, people say all worry is going to do is make you feel worse and won't change the outcome. I know this is true, but like you, I have to work on it!

Great news! This is when you say so I spent that time in anxiety? Of course if we had a crystal ball the irony of it all. I feel like a poet but that’s life!

Oh yes, we all know about 'waiting'. It can be tiresome with waiting. It really is hard for people to understand, but everyone here understands. We are rooting for ya sister warrior. Please keep us posted.
