Brain MRI and Bone Scan Again

sharebear

Here we go again. As a Birthday present my onc. schedules my Brain MRI which I had yesterday and my Bone Scan which I will have the day before my 48th Birthday. The Brain MRi is just checking on the growth of a tumor we discovered on my pituitary about 3 years ago, which probably is not cancer or I would no longer be around since it has not been treated, so I'm sure it will be fine. Of course I have neuropathy left over from the chemo and possibly some arthritis in my back/hip and leg so the bone scan is to determine if the dibilitating pain is simply that or Mets.... I just hate the wait and see game. After having cancer twice. Age 32 and 44 you think by now I would get use to this but you never do.....Thanks for listening.....

No, I don't suppose one ever gets used to it coming back.  It's all of our greatest fear, I know it is certainly mine.  No matter how optimistic I try to make myself feel, I just can't ever get rid of that feeling of waiting for the "other shoe to fall."

I just want you to know you will be in my thoughts and am sending all good vibes that this will all be nothing cancer related.  Real $hitty birthday present, but I hope this new birthday will be a new year of good health for you.

Best of luck and please keep us posted,

Linda
