I saw my Dr at the James Cancer Center today. Told me the healing of my tongue is coming along fine, but that he could feel something on the opposite side that he wants to check further. I am being scheduled for another PetScan to see what it might be. Had the unbelievable happen too.. Got there early and because of a lot of rained delayed patients, I got in and out very early. LOL Just loved it. Have a great day all. Forgot, met with the OC research people too.

Hey Jim -- You got out EARLY at the James? That is a miracle!!! ;-) My thoughts are with you on the PET -- hope it is just tissue healing. All the best!

I was very surprised, I sat down in the waiting room and less than 5 minutes later they called me for the weigh in and questions. As soon as that was finished, I went right to the room and Ozer was there within 5 minutes or less. Then the reasearch team took me for bloodwork, no wait there, then the mouth swap and of course the urnine thing and I was finished. Hard to believe isn't it Jeff.. LOL I hope you get thru this fast on your next visit. Maybe it was because our Minister went with me and the Lord helped . LOL Have a great one Jeff

Jim: Let us know when your PET is scheduled, so that we can say a few extra prayers for you!

Jim - it may not hurt to call back, especially if you ask for one of the office people by name. I had to smile when you mentioned your minister going with you and how it seemed to help. My daughter who went with my son and me several times usually had her police lieutenant uniform on (she was on her way to work) and we got great service, too!

It's funny how a uniform can influence people,, and the bible especially LOL

Have PetScan date set, I go for PetScan the 7th of Dec and have The CScan the 5th of Dec. Dr wants them both done. His secretary called this morning.

Best of luck with your scans, Jim! You KNOW we'll be praying for good reports from both scans.

I just found out today that my ins is only going to cover 80% of the cost for the CScan. I have to call them and cancel it for Wed and see if that Dr will ok my going local and getting it done. Then they can snd thm a cd.. Dr Ozer oked that for the PetScan so I hope this one agrees to it too. I have enough bills coming in from the Drs here and in Morgantown ,WVa
