Clear scans and a clearer outlook

So every year I have to get a CT scan to check for the dreaded lymphoma. I usually do this before Xmas, but this year with the big trip down south it did not get scheduled until last week. Thanks to the crack staff at the Bozeman Deaconess Cancer center (more on them later) they managed to schedule all the scans on the same day - AND have the techs process them, write up the reports, and get them to my doc by my 3:30 appointment.
Good news - scans are all clear! Yay!
Ok, so now a bit on the Cancer Center - I can't stress this enough - having spent WAY too much time in the Spokane Cancer Center, Bozeman is a much happier place.

Spokane:
Good docs
Warehouse of a main waiting room (with the most uncomfortable chairs EVER - ask my mom and dad)
Going in every day and having to give your name to the same receptionist (apparently has too many faces to see)
Chemo room is a HUGE sterile warehouse, with about 30 chemo chairs and 3 TV's mounted far away up on the 12-foot ceiling. You get your own wireless headphones but have to watch whatever the nurses decide. 10 of the chairs face the "wall of heads" a cheap-looking display of styrofoam heads with wigs people have donated. VERY depressing sight. Inmates from the county jail are brought in for chemo in shackles and jumpsuits.
Radiation waiting room - managed to be scheduled (daily, for 2 months) in front of a guy who brought his whole unwashed family in early to enjoy free coffee.

Bozeman
Main waiting room feels like you are walking into a friend's living room - Comfy couches, arm chairs, fireplace, HUGE flat screen TV, treat and drink bar, kids' corner with puzzles, fish tank, and toys. Receptionist greets you by name even though she hasn't seen you for 6 months.
Chemo rooms are very cozy (2 of them, 8 beds each) with curtains to surround your area and a personal flatscreen TV on every chair. No used wigs. A small display of free warm fuzzy hats donated by a knitting/craft club if you need one.
Radiation/CT/Mammogram suite - except for the big loud machines, you would think you are in a day spa. Individual changing rooms with locking cupboards for your stuff. Sweatsuits and terrycloth robes to wear instead of the gaping cotton gown. Smaller waiting rooms for each group contain espresso carts!
And they have the BEST phlebotomists around. Can't even feel blood draws, for crying out loud!
This is why I will drive 160 miles round trip for blood work - those peeps are incredible.

Small note on Mammograms:
Whatever sick Nazi man invented the mammogram machine needs to have his nads squeezed in it. Daily.
