Hang in there. I have been and still am where you are with these damn scans. I realize their importance but they are just as rinky dink as the barbaric Tx we all must endure. Rindy dink meaning one would have thought that by now medical science would have developed more sophisticated methods to find and kill cancer. Well at least we don't have to put up with leeches and maggots. I hope saying that doesn't give any oncologist any ideas.
