  • PET scan approaching…

    Posted by Mel09 on September 9, 2008 at 12:42 am

    I cannot believe that my father has already been through his 3 rounds of chemo and that it is now time to have another PET scan this Friday. Of course we are all on edge and it isn’t far from our minds. I just hope that the chemo has done its job and that there will be some hope. I cannot possibly pray any more than I have been!

    I am especially nervous because I am not sure how my father will react if the results are unfavorable. I am crossing everything I can!!!!

    Also, on another note, just wanted to let you all know that my father finally submitted to taking an antidepressant. He has just started it but hopefully it will improve things, even the slightest bit.

    Mel,

    From one Jersey Girl to another;) …I am praying (and crossing everything too) for your whole family on Friday! I am so glad he started an anti-depressant, and I hope that helps him as well.

    All the Best,

    I too will pray that your Dad has only good results from the PET scan. This is always a scary time, just waiting to see what the scan shows.

    Hang in there!
