Mixed emotions about today so far

This morning I had an appointment for an MRI scan at Christie hospital.
The appointment was for 8.15 AM, which necessitated getting up before 6 AM this morning. Fortunately my transport arrived early and I was at the hospital by 7.20 AM.
Apart from the cannula required to administer iodine during the scan, which I absolutely hate, the whole process went smoothly and more quickly than I had expected. I was back home before 11 AM, which I thought was excellent.
Despite how fluently everything went, I had been hoping that today I would see the consultant and be informed of my current progress and prognosis. Unfortunately that will be much later and I now have an appointment for a week on Monday to see the consultant.

Monday will soon be upon you and I hope that their findings will be good. You have been through so much. Why they made you wait so long is beyond me.

Sorry to hear they did not consult with you today. That would have been very nice to get that out of the way all in one go. The waiting game is a pain for sure @Asylum.
How are you doing otherwise?

@TiarasOceanView There is certainly no reason why I should have to wait another 11 days.

@Asylum Good to hear you are not too bad then..very encouraging..I know how this is..I can't stand the dilly dallying and get very impatient to know the progress. They really could have done this today for you.

I am sorry you have to wait so long to see a consultant because that really sucks. I've experienced several MRI's rise in my life and up there always quite horrible. The first time I kept asking them to take me out because I just couldn't bear the feeling of claustrophobia. I have to go and have another at some point soon because they're trying to find out what is causing all that pain in my neck but I think that they're just going to say that it's nerve damage.

I always wonder why they don't try to combine things so we didn't have to visit quite so many times but no, that never happens. I say just enjoy the week and don't dwell on it, think positive thoughts, it is the best thing for you at this point.

I'm sorry you have to wait. It's agony having to wait for those test results. I hope you can find a way to keep your mind distracted and that the rest of the week flies by for you.

This week Tony`s scan was cancelled and so he has to wait, I hope his cancer is still in remission.
I will pray that your scan is awesome with all cancer gone.

It sure would have been nice to get that all done in one trip. I hope everything is going well for you.
