Had my latest CT and bone scan on Friday. I received an email this morning that my test results were available in my patient portal. I've debated looking but have not mustered the courage to look..last time I looked and thought it looked bad and my MO was thrilled and thought they were awesome. Has anyone not looked on purpose? My appointment with him isn't for 2 more weeks. I'm not anxious about it and it really doesn't bother me that they are there.. it's almost like I just don't want to know. Self preservation? Maybe so.

Anyone relate?

    I could never NOT look. Guess I was in Girl Scouts too long.

    Two weeks? I could never wait that long. I'd be in there 10 minutes after I got the e-mail with new results. More power to you if you can wait!

    I AM surprised that they'll put the results on the portal before you see your MO. Ours are embargoed for a week. (So are the tumor markers which annoys me). I always try to schedule the scans for 1-2 days before I'm supposed to see the doc.

    If it doesn't bother you, run with it. Sure it's probably a form of denial but you don't know what denial. [I'm a queen of denial. Cancer? Nah.]

    I couldn't stop myself from checking. Also, I like to read it because there are inevitably questions I have for my MO. He wouldn't automatically go into detail about all things that are important to me.

    Thanks for the replies, ladies. It's been 3 days now and no call or email from my MO. My appointment with him is on the 20th.. guess I'll find out the results then. After much contemplation, I decided I'm quite happy in denial land and will enjoy the next 2 weeks here.

    Well, I've avoided my results as long as I can. My appointment is in the morning. The nerves have set in. I'm hoping I get some rest. Any prayers, good wishes or positive vibes greatly appreciated. I'm still new at this stage iv mess and am very nervous about getting my latest test results. :(
