Friday is the quarterly tumor marker blood work. Will this ever be easy on the nerves?

Deb, for me , the yearly ct scans never got easy--well. the scan was no problem but waiting for the results was nerve wracking. After waiting a week for my doctor to call with the results I was a basket case so the next year I made arrangements with the imaging facility to pick up a copy of the results the day after my tests. That was a lot easier for me. I will be thinking of you and awaiting good news. Your friend, Jean

Thank you Jeano!
Only one time did I leave without the results in my hand. I sat on the website WAITING for the results to post! Part of the stress has been, it takes a few tries to get a vein, but has gotten easier to give the blood. Veins seem to be healing and the nurse hit a vein the first time the last time. That takes a lot of the stress out of it.
