Hi Donna,

I go for follow ups every 2 months and usually my mom goes with me b/c my husband is working. I am usually petrified the day of my appoinment....upset stomach and all those good things. I'm moody and annoyed easily also ( I'm a real peach) luckily my mom goes with me so she doesn't take any of this personally:) It is so stressful because I just don't know what the doc is going to say. Over the 2 years since I was diagnosed I have had 4 surgeries and every other time but 1 there is something "we are going to watch" I wish I could tell you this would get easier but I don't see it getting easier for me any time soon. Just don't take anything personal and be there for him. That is what he will need.

Keep us posted with the PET results....man I hate waiting for results.
