2day was my final PET scan...well, hopefully the last 1 for a while anyway
i'll meet with my oncologist on Monday (the 24th) to find out the results...i've already claimed a clean report tho! y else would i have already gotten my "i kicked cancer's ass" tattoo?! ;0)
it was actually a little different 2day than my other PET scans...1st difference was that i had a nose ring this time - & those meanies made me take it out! thankfully, it wasn't as scary as i thought it would b - went back in fairly easily...also, the wait (while the radioactive juice was flowing thru my veins 4 an hour) was a lot more relaxing - i actually got in a nap! & this time they had me put all my stuff in a locker b4 i went back & changed in2 scrubs...they didn't let me take my phone or ipod back with me (that's y i napped instead of tweeting, or updating my facebook, or reading on my kindle app, or snapping pics ~wink~)...i guess they're cracking down in the scanning facility...oh, & it also took 2 sticks 2 get a vein 4 my IV - & it wasn't even that great of a vein! after digging around, trying 2 puncture the only visible vein in my arm & having no luck, she had 2 move 2 the back of my hand - & stab hard 2 get the needle in2 it - saying "u have tough veins!"...i've also been told they "jump" ~lol~
of course, there will b more PET scans (& MRIs) in my future...but once i get the "all clear" from this one, i'll b done with scans/tests/blood work for a while
can i just say...
PRAISE GOD!!!
i'm so ready 2 have a big break from all this...hey, 3 or 4 months IS a big break in my eyes! ;0)
