Wow it seems like an eternity waiting till tomorrow's appointment. I get the results of my cat scan and find out if the treatment has changed and or surgery has changed with the results of the test. As much as I am relieved I am also very nervous. I have a list of questions I want to ask and am wondering with all this vast experience out there if there are any questions that anyone can suggest that I may have forgotten remembering that the next time I see this surgeon he will be armed and dangerous eek I already have some questions reguarding staging, the trach, possible feeding tube (peg) if things have changed and I will require radiation. I just don't wanna leave anything out and from other's experience comes knowledge. Any suggestions for the appointment would be greatly appreciated....

The one thing I am so upset about at this time is the fact that we live a distance away from the hospital and because of finances my husband not wanting me to be alone and will have to travel. We really can't afford that. The cancer society works with patients, disability works with only patients most of the venues work only with the patients needs. Well quite frankly I need him there with me too frown . With his illnesses this is going to be a strain on him.

Anyway want to get this posted rather than vent so hopefully there is enough time to get imput.
