Lisa…why not Ativan? What better time then tomorrow? Thinking of you and sending a tidal wave of good wishes your way.
Hugs,
MarionOk three of us in the tube tomorrow…..I have a cat scan and blood work to start the mapping for steriotactic radiation…sending prayers in all directions…..I like when the three of us have lunch much better than scans !
I wonder if I can get IV Ativan ? Oh that would be blissful !
Hugs, LisaAlthough it seems too long to have to await – it allows for an even higher volume of good wishes heading your way. Hang in there, Kris. We are behind you – all the way.
Hugs,
MarionBtw, letting everyone know I won’t have results until Monday. It’s inhumane…..
And thanks for all the well wishes!
Good luck to both you Kris and Lauren as well for your scans tomorrow! My fingers are crossed for you both and tons of positive thoughts are coming to each of you from me! Looking forward to hearing about both sets of results in our good news section!
Hugs and positive thoughts to you both,
Gavin
My thoughts and prayers are with both of you Lauren and Kris! I can’t wait to see your results posted in the good news section.

Pam: I just saw Lauren’s post and will be praying extra hard for BOTH of us tomorrow. I agree that ct scans are much easier. I keep my eyes closed in the MRI and pretend I’m on a very noisy beach with some jack hammering idiot close by! And no, hijack away! I’ve done it, too.
Nancy: I would love to meet you! Yes i will be at Basking Ridge. If you want to “hang out” at the clinic I will be there at 11 to drink the kool aid. If not, I should be done by 12:30-1 and will be REALLY hungry! We could meet for a late lunch, too. Btw I will be the tallest woman and probably the tallest person in the room! Ha!
I am praying that I can post the “all calm” post again so people can have more faith in the stereotactic radiation. It would give so much more hope!! I believe it was a shot in the dark whether it would work.
KrisThanks lulu and Lainy. Sorry, Kris. Didn’t mean to hijack your post. Lainy- I mentioned the towel to Lauren and she is going to ask for one. Her doctor told her to take two Ativan right before she goes in the tube, so hopefully that will help too. They have two different size MRI’s at Michigan and she got the small one once and it totally made her freak out. She is not a small person so it made her feel like she was wedged in a small pipe. We always request the larger model now. Just thought I would mention this so that others are made aware there is more than one size MRI.
Pam, wishing Lauren a very successful scan tomorrow. I find that if I put a small towel over my eyes the scans don’t bother me at all. Will have everything crossed for a great scan!
Kris
Sending positive thoughts and prayers to you….are you going to Sloan in Basking Ridge? If you need a buddy to go with I’m only about a half hour away….can’t wait to hear of your good results….@Pam…ditto on the thoughts and prayers for Lauren…looking forward to seeing all the posts in the good news section! I agree with Lauren CT’s are much easier on the anxiety part they are much faster then the MRI…and alot less noisy!
NancyHi Kris,
You and Lauren will be in the “tubes” on the same day!! She has an MRI on Tuesday. I think she would like to trade places with you. She hates MRIs. CTs don’t bother her so much. Good luck and I will be praying for great results!!
Love, -Pam
You go girl, show that CC what you got and scare it right out of the ring! Wishing you a ton of luck on Tuesday.
