Susan,
I don't know if this works for MRIs and Pet scans, but when I have CT scans,I always ask the radiation technician for a copy of the disk and report before they run the scan. Usually takes about a half hour for them to make a copy. Then you can take it Sloan or wherever. There is no charge for this at HUP.

My only symptom the first time was a swollen lymph node in the neck and my ENT was almost positive it was cancer from the feel of it. He did do a fine needle biopsy to confirm it. At this point, get your second opinion from Sloan. You want to be where the best treatment is.

Have hubby eat as much as he wants now. Try Ensure Plus rather than the regular Ensure. It tastes better and is 350 calories rather 200. Also David keeps touting Carnation VHC which is 560. More calories per swallow. This becomes very important later in treatment.

Take care,
Eileen
