Hey Debz!
No way would I call you nuts because we're two peas in a pod now!!!!!! Whopee we really kicked it, huh? I am so very proud
of you and prouder still for your doctor that was kind enough to call you and let you know. Mine called me on that Saturday!!
(They must know we are two nuts so they want to get rid of us)
I would love not to see them anymore!! lol
Celebrate all weekend!! Open up some bubbly and you and I shall toast to our Pet Scans!
So happy, I am smiling!
Debbie
