Hello Anne,

I have been checking in often to get your update on this...

Waiting for results can be torturous...good luck with the biopsy.

Sending positive thoughts for a good outcome.

Kind Regards

Anne, I was wondering if you heard yet. Equivocal is like no answer at all since it means more tests. I hope the results come back clear. The not knowing anything is hard to live with. Good to know Betsy Mae is feeling better. (((((Hugs))))) Julie

Oh Betsey Mae!

After waiting so long for the results, only to find out that they couldn't make any conclusions from the scan. So sorry!

Like Mike's, my last equivocal result also turned out to be an artifact after the scan was redone. Hope that is the same for you as well.

Thanks for sharing the news even though it was such an unhelpful conclusion. I have been thinking about you ever since the scan was done.

Hate that word! showed up on one of my scans once also.
Wasn't bones and I forget what it was. In any case, mine turned out to be OK and I am hoping that your's will as well.

Best of luck!

Don't you hate that word "equivocal"? But glad to hear the "other" Betsy Mae has perked up. We do get so attached to our critters.

Hope the bone biopsy goes well and isn't too painful.
