Re: Bone Scan

[Guest guest]

Jolene, At lesast you got to get the bone scan a day early. Why do

they always have to mention it may be cancer?? They do this just

becuause they know we have had cancer in our past. Same with the

nodule they found in my lung. Going to treat it as if it was cancer,

just because I have a history of it. Well it was not and I have to

heal for months just because of this.

I sure hope they can get you some relief for the back pain.

Yes, a lot here are going through some really rough times. I am

hoping that God hears all of our Prayers for them and helps them out.
