Hi Ashley - I do hope you get that CT soon, the waiting is so bothersome. I wish anyone of us could say its not likely, however as Tammy mentioned, anything is possible. Hopefully you can follow your doctor and try not to be too concerned, yet be careful and move forward and check everything out. I believe most of us can relate to the worry. I'm in a waiting and worrying situation, however will not be able to get a CT til Aug. Everyday the worry creeps in and I tell myself there is nothing I can do about it (of course other than staying positive, keeping healthy, etc.) then I move on. Even if I must do that several times a day.
Wishing you all good results and will watch here to see what is happening with you.
