    Kris,
    Easy for him them to say it doesn’t matter in the short term!! I hate the wait. I go for my first scan after being back on chemo on Friday and see the Dr for results and get chemo on Monday. It will be a long weekend for me. I would just like to know where I am at, better, worse, no change. I hope you do get your GOOD results this Thursday.
    Take care of yourself and God Bless,
    Jamie

    I had my scan on Thursday and I hope to get the results this Thursday when I get my chemo. But I might not, the scans are being reviewed at a large hospital by a multi disciplinary board on the sameday so I am not sure the report will get back to my oncologist before then. Likely, I will have to sit longer. But as my doctor said, if I get surgery or not, I will still have chemo so it doesnt really matter in the short term. I like to sit around and twiddle my thumbs.

    Glad I could help. If anyone has suggestions for my new steroid induced mustache, beard, and back fur, it would be much appreciated. :)

    I always thought of myself as a sex kitten, not furry one!

    Holy cannoli, really? After my treatments last week I broke out all over my body, the stupid things hurt all over. I have to try this! Thank you so much!!

    Mmm, I’ll give it a try. Nothing like having acne when you’re middle-aged :(

    I was getting terrible acne from the steroids I am on. I have never experience back acne before and it is so painful when your clothes rub it. After 2 months of it, I tried proactive…you know that stuff on the informercials. It really does work. I was skeptical since it was drug induced acne, but it has really cleared up my back and my face is almost normal again.

    Hope this helps someone else.
