Tomorrow I go in for tests to see if my tumor has returned....I'm scared.
So as sappy as it sounds, I'd like some good vibes guys! This is the second time I've had to go in for tests to see if my brain tumor has returned...so I've been down this road before. However, my heart has been in my throat since Friday when I found out I had to have some tests ran.

Here's hoping for the best.

10. why do you have symptoms?
The important thing is that things are caught early so they do not get out of control

Write down any questions you have, before you go in

The odds are that you are going to be okay, and that this is just a follow-up to monitor things

11. Hope the results will be positive
Any idea why you have to have these tests? Is it just a matter of routine done periodically?

Even if the news are bad, don't despair. I have recently read about new ways to treat "inoperable" brain tumors, through different types of radiation.

Good luck. Will be thinking about you.

21. I'm with you on this Sean.......
I can't take away the fear, I would be too. Take a deep breath, relax and think about how good you have felt and how your recovery has been positive.....Thats a good sign! You have not described any classic symptoms of problems. Tests are many times prophylactic....especially with a past history.

Such testing always brings back memories and old tapes of the initial illness. Keep focused on how good you have been doing....that is where the your confidence can begin.

24. I'm sending only my most positive thoughts.
My brother had cancer and he said one time that the worst part of the whole deal was the anticipation of the periodic checkups. Best wishes. Your gift this year will be that there's nothing more to worry about.

33. Sending good vibes
Hi Shawn, I'm new to this site but felt I needed to add my 'good vibes' to all the others sending them to you. All the best and I'm hoping that you're given a clean bill of health. For me December 13th marked 5 years since they removed my brain tumor and so far so good but I know, it's scary sometimes.
