Patience is not the ability to wait, but the ability to keep a good attitude while waiting.
(I'm trying)
It has been 2 weeks since I had my Ct-scan. I am to find out the results on Tuesday, just 4 more days.
Waiting is so hard!!!! I am not feeling well and I need to resolve this.
I am struggling with my digestive system. Last Friday I was having a particularly tough day so went to see my GP... I won't get into it here now, because it would turn ugly (a rant) but the short version is he would not examine me or explore the problem. His words, "you are under the care of an oncologist for a primary condition, wait for the results of CT-scan". He wrote a prescription for an antacid!!! (I tossed it!)
On Tuesday, when I get the news that I am free of disease they will ask me to take my digestive complaint to my regular doctor.

  3. Dodi - I have been thinking of you and sending good thoughts and prayers your way, daily.

    My doctor told me that they get the CT results within days--and if they see anything--they call. If it's the same with your doctor, you have nothing to worry about.

    I know the stress of waiting is hard. And you have had to wait a long time to get your results. Not fair! And of course, the stress probably adds to the digestive issues . . .

    I'll be standing beside you in the doctor's office (virtually). On Tuesday, take a couple of deep breaths, go for a walk before your appointment. Hang in there. We're all cheering for you and know you will be just fine.
