Well as life will have it, of fate, or whatever, I had my latest cat/PET scan on Monday and the Cancer Institutes phone lines have been down and are still down today. This means I have not been able to get my official results! Thankfully I had the results also faxed to my primary doctor who just called to tell me it's a mixed bag of results. Oh great, and he can't really tell me anything else. Or will not. So here I it with the news from him that there are new "Suspicious places" and it looks as if some of my other spots might be improving......

YIKES!!!!!!!! So now what? I have called my husband and he is in another town and couldn't really talk, my onc can't be reached, my healer is out and I'm alone just wanting to scream and cry and RAGE!

Sigh. So today, mz hopeful is not so hopeful.......
