Gabe: Your news is a relief too and so happy for you guys. Now, please continue praying for good results for my PET scan to be done today. As I've mentioned before, I'm the Forum's biggest "wimp," and I do like Gabe says (PUSH FOR RESULTS) which I'll have to wait until Monday to do  , but will. Yes, do the Happy Dance, and don't forget to pray for my results to be as good. Hugs from julieann

It's dreadful waiting for news, no wonder some people suffer from post trauma stress disorder after an experience like this. I hope you can have some periods of peace of mind over the weekend.
