No Bad News = Good News, Right?

Today I had appointments for a bone scan, MRI, CT scan, chest x-ray, EKG, blood work, mammogram, and pedicure (which technically wasn't a scheduled appointment but seemed like a nice, relaxing break on my way home).

Of course they are not allowed to tell me about any of the results, but I was able to see the bone scan as she was doing it and did not notice any places that jumped out as areas of concern.

I will get all of the official results when I meet with the oncologist next Friday, but the way I see it -- I did not receive any BAD news, and my toes look pretty, so it must have been a GOOD news kind of day.

I had a lot of time to think today; sitting inside a machine for 40 minutes unable to move was not altogether unenjoyable, I don't often get that long of a stretch to sit quietly and ponder. I have a lot to say about what I am going through (none of you who know me are shocked about this LOL), but for now I am headed to bed as it has been a very long day.

Thank you all for the well wishes and prayers. I have enjoyed reading through them, it is comforting to know we have so many people standing behind us through this fight.

  1. It's a sad indictment of our lives as mothers when we enjoy waits like those in MRI's. LOL. I know I never complain when I'm kept waiting at a doc's office. I rather enjoy the time to sit quietly and read.

  3. Thought of you all day yesterday. I said quite a few prayers. Keeping those positive thoughts is so important and from reading your blog, you seem to be doing that. You are the only person I know that could go through all those tests and still be up for a pedicure on the way home. You, Jason and those precious grandbabies will be in my thoughts and prayers as always. Love ya!
