Hi Pickel. I'm sorry you have to join "this club", but we are a great bunch of folks willing to help you out here and I certainly hope that everything goes well for you. Keep us posted. I don't know why it is that everybody thinks they have to wait for their results for one or two weeks or longer. Most people sit on pins and needles and think the worst, naturally. If it's nothing, which we hope it is, you will be consumed in worry needlessly. Usually, within a few days, I will immediately call the doctor, or the office that performs the MRI,PET,CT Scans. Then I stop in to get the typed written report and I then know what is going on before I get to the drs. Remember, all the reports belong to YOU as well as the dr. reviewing them. If it's not convenient for you to pick them up they can drop them in the mail. Another thing I do, when I'm filling out papers for the first dr's visit and they ask who is allowed to get your medical information, I list about 3 or 4 family members..(I understand this may not be suitable for everyone) Then, if I need scripts picked up or if I want a family member to make a call for me, their name is on the contact list.....It makes it easier when people are trying to help you.....I hope I didn't yak too much here. Sometimes, I get carried away.............Good luck........Claudia
