Oh God, this wait is torture!!!

[always quiet]

As you may know, DH had a PETscan done on Monday to confirm that all the cancer has been removed or killed. I wasn't overly scared til this morning. Dennis noticed the thrush had once again returned and asked me to call the doctor to get a prescription called in. I called them, spoke to the receptionist, asked if the doctor could call in the script and since I was on the phone, I asked if she could find out if the results from the scan were in. I left my cell number since I would be heading out to the bus stop. Well, when I was blow drying my DD's hair, I didn't notice the call from the DOCTOR. I called her back but she was with a patient and she would call as soon as she had the chance. Now I am sitting here in a panic wondering if she was calling me to ask about the thrush...............or calling me to tell me the results are not good. I don't know what to think. I don't know if I am over-reacting and she wants nothing more than information about what happening with Dennis. My stomach is in knots at the moment and I have both the cell phone and the home phone within inches of me at all times!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ugh!! I'll be completely gray by the time all this is over with!!

I called the pharmacy to see if maybe she was calling to tell me they called something in. Nope, nothing has been called in. Could this be a good sign because that IS what she is calling me about???? I also tried calling the radiology dept. to see if the scan had even been read yet. They were all busy and it went into voice mail. Didn't want to bother them.

I keep telling myself that all the biopsies that they took on Dec. 30th ALL came back noncancerous.............there is no need to worry...........why won't 'myself' listen to me!!!!!!!!! I've been waiting for a call back since before 11 am.............this is TORTURE!!!!

Ok - hear is my theory. Thrush can be very hard to clear up. She may be wanting to discuss with you about changing medications for that. Keep thinking happy thoughts.

Keep us posted.

Still no word. Dennis called (about jumped out of my skin when the cell phone rang/vibrated in my pocket!! ). He has had thrush several times during radiation and since treatment ended. The last bout of it took 3 courses of the antibiotic to clear it. I guess it would make sense to change treatment since it reoccurs. I wonder if the fact that the salivary gland is not working yet could play a part in it coming back. I remembered that on Wednesdays the doctor sees ALL her radiation patients....this is probably why I am sitting here pulling my hair out!!

I know the waiting is awful! Ya'll are in my prayers, that the scans come back clean and that the Dr. can get the thrush under control.

Awwww..... Colleen, I feel so bad for you.

Waiting is sooo hard - and I don't think I would have very much patience sitting for over 4 hours to get a phone call from the doctor.

I'm praying that everything works out for your DH.

I think I have the thrush figured out!!!!!!!!!!!!

I went into mywhi.com to see how many times he has been treated for it. As I am looking through the times he has taken the antibiotic for it, I notice a pattern developing rather quickly!! Within 2 - 3 weeks of the thrush developing, he had been treated with either Cipro or Zithromax! I get suspicious and pull up the medical information on these medications...BOTH say that they can cause oral thrush or yeast infections!

Now if ONLY the doctor would call me back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
