But it's good you have the appointment tomorrow and will find out what's going on and you don't have long to wait. So often the worrisome symptoms that come up are just normal stuff. Try to think of all the things that have been good news, like the clear CT scan and clear Pet scan and the doctor telling you about the possible muscular nature of the pain which seems very reasonable in view of your husbands gym experience. Just remembering my own tendency to panic, I find myself taking deep breaths for you now! Try to think of all the possible Good results instead of the negative ones. And do something physical - walking around outside is good. Hope everything goes well tomorrow.
