Hi Everybody, I just want you all to know even being out over 9 yrs since my diagnosis. I still have anxiety over these once a year check ups with my pulmanologist. No where near as bad as before but still there. I hope this gives at least those of you who have the scaniety we all do.- John

Hey Lisa,
My shoes are still on - and I need the exercise - so I am expecting your news will keep me dancing! I think calling for the results is an excellent idea! I don't think I could keep dancing until Monday!!! (Besides, didn't they already make a movie about that.... called 'They Shoot Horses, Don't They?' - I seem to remember it from a long time ago...... I am sure that I am dating myself now.....).

Good Thoughts heading your way Lisa!!

Erin

So glad to hear about your good news -- congratulations! And thanks for the encouragement, too. I usually catch up on these forums every morning when I check the digest in my e-mail...but tonight I decided to stalk the boards. My dad's test results will be in on Thursday, and I'm a nervous wreck in the mean time. I was getting so frustrated with myself for worrying about news I may or may not receive, but your reassurance has helped.

Hi everybody, I just got back from the doc's and I'm clear. Great! I wasn't worried at all! Yeah, BS but I had to say it. lol 21/2 hrs late omg how I remember waiting for all the doc appt.s. I don't miss that. I finally get in to see the Man and he looks at the xray and says it looks good. Oh he says sorry this is from 2007. What?? I had the wrong one called up, he says. Ok I found the right one, todays date. I'm about to explode on him when he says looks just like 2007. Then he says take a look the look the same don't they. I'm thinking next year find a new guy. I never thought I'd ever think this but He's a kid! what the hell does he know! But the xrays did look just the same and after all these years I guess I do know what I don't want to see. So all's excellant in the world. I'm still here to smell the roses for a while longer. Thanks guys for all the support it really helped. I managed to keep my head on straight while I was doing all the waiting.
Again , thanks- John

John and Lisa,
Sending positive thoughts for both of you. Good luck tomorrow!
Cathy

John,

Thinking of you and sending lots of positive energy / thoughts your way.
The anxiety jitters of pre scan days will never go away...
May you continue to enjoy life and be such wonderful inspiration to all of us.
Hugs

I'm saying a prayer for you right now!!!!!!!! Think positive, relax, it's going to be O.K. Watch a good funny movie and laugh, and laugh yourself silly.
