Satman:

I think it's a safe bet that there wasn't anything negative on the MRI.  Responsible doctors don't re-schedule (delay) your appointment if they think you need treatment, unless whatever you might need is minor and not time-sensitive.  Please don't allow anxiety to control you.  Whatever is on the MRI report won't change one iota by your worrying about it...but you know that.  :)

4.5 cm AN diagnosed 5/06.  Retrosigmoid surgery 6/06.  Follow-up FSR completed 10/06.  Tumor shrinkage & necrosis noted on last MRI.  Life is good. 

Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is.  The way we cope with it is what makes the difference.

Satman -

I too think that means the news isn't bad.

Hope we'll all right.

Please let us know.

Hi Satman,
Just thought I'd throw my two cents in -- if the doc rescheduled your visit for tomorrow I'd have to agree that you won't be getting any bad news.  Hang in there and let us know what happens tomorrow.

Best wishes,
Wendy
