i know its hard not to worry GG, but try to distract yourself. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

GG thankyou for sharing your journey with us, your strength I believe has helped many here. Sure the tests will come back in your favour. Will keep you in my prayers. G8

You have my prayers GG for a wonderful report : )

I too have been out of chemo for 5 months and I just had my check up done----pet scan, chest x-ray, liver profile and a CEA blood work and everything came back cancer so I am in remission and I hope that it lasts. I haven't been on this site for a while because during my chemo we found out hat my husband had stage 4 lung cancer-- he was given 3-8 months to live but died within 1 month so this has been a really bad year for me. Just keep praying that your test will be fine---you will be in my prayers

Oh, I have faith your tests will be good, like mine will be GG. Just had them last week. Full torso scan, all good, and get bloods results back next Wed. Like Survivor mentioned, we change gears. Next week we'll be cruising again :}

can't wait to be 5 months past chemo! You are my inspiration.

Praying for good reports and can't wait til you sign on and update us later today. :-)

GG, I'm very surprised about 'no scans'. Of course, my onc said yearly scans for Stage III.

My first scan post chemo will be late March/ early April. I go for my blood work on March 16, and see my onc on April 6th. I will also have my colonoscopy that week. I'm changing gastros because I spent 9 business days trying to set up an appt with him and phone tag irked me! Changing to a doc here in town.

GG: My prayers are with you for good news. If you really want a scan (I assume they did one prior to your surgery) you may be able to press your doctor for one a year to a year and a half after dx. Perhaps they will be willing to do one later. They may feel this is a little early and will reconsider after a while longer -- especially if you can show this is commonly done.

Good Luck God Bless!!
