Tomorrow's The Day-Thoughts And Prayers Would Be Appreciated...

[Mitchell]

Tomorrow is the big day. The day of the culmination of all the 3 hour plus car rides each way to NJ, the Dr visits, the chemo sessions for my mom, the hospitalizations, setbacks with health, weather problems, and all the other bumps along the road. Tomorrow.. is my mom's Petscan, as the doctors, and my mom and myself, of course, will learn just how effective the treatment of the past several months has been on her lung cancer.

Of course, as everyone can probably imagine and appreciate.. there are very apprehensive feelings right now. My mom seems to be taking a different attitude than I am. While I've been thinking about this day.. for much of the last three weeks, since her last chemo session, and I have been very nervous, she seems to be taking the attitude of : "I don't want to think about it.. or talk about it".

We won't actually know anything tomorrow: We will learn the results of the scan next week, because my mom has requested that the Dr not call us with the results. We have an appointment to see him next week to discuss the results, and what comes next. Last year, when my mother was first diagnosed with the cancer here in Lancaster, our family doctor called her on a Saturday, on her cell phone, while we were in the supermarket, to reveal the definitive results that she had cancer. My mother did not feel that was very beneficial, physically.. or emotionally.. for either her or myself, as she would rather have heard the results from the Drs herself, in person..

Our Dr in NJ, Dr B, has told us in recent weeks, and months.. "I'm confident the tumors have shrunk, I just don't know how much". From his mouth.. to God's ears.

Anyhow.. so that's the situation.. I know I have to find ways to try and take my mind off of this.. for the next 24 hours.. until the test.. and for the next week.. until we receive the results.

Any thoughts and prayers would be appreciated. Thanks.

It is my sincere hope and wish that the test result will be positive, and that your mother is cured or is at least in remission. Having been through similar situations with family members and friends, I understand the anxiety you are both feeling.

Well, I'm home from the exam. I wanted to once again thank everyone who posted messages of support in this thread, as well as, of course, the good friends who PMed me personally. I really appreciate everyone's good wishes.

So, the test is over. Now.. we wait.. It took about two hours. The appointment with the Dr to discuss the results is next week.. but.. I have no idea if it will take until next week for him to get the results.. or if he will just wait to tell us face to face. Of course, part of me wonders whether he will call or email to tell us the results, because of how our family Dr called on the cell phone last year to reveal the definitive results of the cancer. My mind is going a thousand miles an hour, and I know I have to try and calm down. Hopefully, however the news is revealed, it will be good news.

I'll post an update when I get it.
