Sounds nice. I'm researching oligodendrogliomas and any recent treatment advances. It's the form of brain cancer I'm surviving. I have a ride in an MRI tomorrow to ensure that my post-treatment disease has not returned. I get an MRI check every nine months currently. Going tomorrow is akin to a visit to the dentist. A visit to the dentist that may reveal a cavity that will slowly kill me. I'm a bit nervous.
I'm sorry you have to have that sort of day tomorrow or any other day. That's a heavy weight to carry with you. I'm sure others will join me in wishing you the best possible results tomorrow. Do you get the results quickly or do you have to wait for a radiologist to view the scans? Good luck!
I wanted to wish you well this morning and didn't quite know how to phrase my well-wishes. "Go get them!" Or "you can do it," just don't seem appropriate. How about, "have an awesome day."? -nah, that doesn't quite convey the intention either. Well, I'm sure I speak for others on Hubski when I say we are pulling for positive results. Does your school year begin again soon? Did you run in that race up north with your bro? If so, who won? :)
Thanks for the well-wishes. That's plenty. I've not yet seen a "Have a great post-treatment brain cancer MRI follow-up." card anywhere yet. By the way, the results came back the way we wanted. No change. Everything is stable and no evidence of disease progression. Great news. I get my next check in 12 months. My students return on Sept 7. The state of Michigan has set things so kids start after Labor Day. I'm moving from one middle school to the other, so I've been in the last 5 weekdays moving materials. I'll be setting up for at least another few days too. mk didn't tell you about the race? Our team came in 5th in the inaugural SISU Challenge. Not too bad. It's likely we'd had a better result if not for some "bottle-neck" traffic jams at a few of the race obstacles where we lost several minutes or more.
Altogether it was pretty awesome. We're planning on doing it again next year.
That's awesome! Congrats on the good news! That's really great. I forgot, he did mention the race on Hubski. I remember because he too cited the bottleneck as the reason you didn't place higher. Good luck with the new school year in the new school. I hope it's a welcomed change of scenery.
