Ok people some of you know I had my P.E.T. scan on wednesday...
When I called to make the follow up appointment with the dr they told me that I would have to wait until NOV 4th To find out my Results.....
MY RESPONSE WAS.... ARE YA KIDDIN ME?
THERE IS NO WAY IN HECK I AM WAITING ALMOST A MONTH TO FIND OUT MY RESULTS WHEN I KNOW YOU"L HAVE THEM IN HAND BY MONDAY MORNING.
THEIR REASONING IS THAT MY DOCTOR IS GOING TO BE ON VACATION FOR 3 WKS. I TOLD THEM I DIDN"T CARE IF ELVIS CAMEBACK FROM THE DEAD THEIR OUGHT TO BE ANOTHER DR IN THE CANCER CTR THAT CAN READ MY SCAN AND THEY COULD TELL ME THE RESULTS JUST AS WELL AS DR. BROWN COULD.... I told them if they showed me the damn scan Id tell them how it looked... Ive had so many I could probably read the damn thing myself.
Anyway upon arguing for 20 mins they finally came to the understanding that someone will be giving me my results on monday!
Lol I guess I'm a bitch but anyone who would tell me I have to wait a month to find out test results has never been in my situation. Some People in the medical proffesion have no compassion for their patients Peace of mind.
I'm telling ya if I had to wait that long to find out the results I would go absolutely crazy not to mention that in that time if their is something growing it might spread through my entire body.... No I won't be waiting that long.......................

by salmirkat on Oct. 29, 2008 at 1:05 AMWITH CANCER EITHER BEING THE CARE GIVER OR THE PERSON WITH CANCER IT IS VERY HARD .YOU LEARN TO STAND UP FOR YOURSELF SOMETIMES PEOPLE DONT REALISE THAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT A PERSONS LIFE AND THEY DONT CARE . UNTIL YOU FIGHT AND YOU ACTUALLY FIND SOMEONE WHO DOES CARE. THRU MY HUSBAND FIGHT WITH PANCREATIC CANCER, HE BEAT THE ODDS HE WENT THRU THE TESTS AFTER TESTS AND DIFFERENT TREATMENTS, HE MET HIS GOALS, HE FAUGHT AS LONG AS HE COULD WITH ALL OF THE TREATMENTS, HE MADE IT 11MO, MOST PEOPLE WITH PANCREATIC CANCER DIE WITHIN A FEW DAYS TO ABOUT 3 MO. MY HUSBAND HAD GOALS THAT HE WANTED TO SEE OUR YOUNGEST GRADUATE HE DID AND TO PLAN HIS FUNERAL AND HE DID, LIFE IS SO HARD WITH OUT HIM. WHEN YOU GO THRU THIS YOU LEARN TO SEE LIFE DIFFERENTLY, YOU WISH THAT YOU COULD TURN THE CLOCK BACK AND TRY AND CHANGE WHAT EVER YOU COULD TO HAVE MORE TIME WITH YOUR LOVED ONE, UNFORTUNATLEY YOU CANT. ITS ALL IN GODS HANDS. I MISS MY HUSBAND MORE AND MORE EACH DAY THAT THE TIME GOES ON WE WERE MARRIED FOR ALMOST 30 YRS AND WE WERE ALWAYS TOGETHER . IT HAS BEEN 15 MO WITHOUT HIM. I LOVE HIM SO AND MISS HIM SO. I NEVER MENT TO HURT ANY ONE WITH MY THOUGHTS JUST TO LET YOU KNOW THAT CANCER IS SO HARD BUT YOU HAVE TO BE A FIGHTER AND HAVE ALOT OF FAITH AND WANT TO GET THRU IT IF YOU DO YOU WILL DONT GIVE UP AND FIGHT FOR YOUR RESULTS AND LEARN TO SPEAK UP FOR YOURSELF THAT IS SOMETHING I HAVE LEARNED THANKS AND GOD BLESS KEEP ON FIGHTING MAYBE ONEDAY THERE WONT BE ANY MORE CANCER WHAT A BLESSING THAT WILL BE.
