Today I went and had a nuclear scan, I am waiting for the cool mutant abilities to start. Maybe I will be able to fly, or turn invisible, or eat large amounts of food and get fat.. oh wait...., Anyway,... I had my scan and it took forever! But no side effects so I'll take that over taking a long time any day. Now we wait.
The technician came and got me and asked me the normal questions, how much do you weigh, how tall are you, have you had any surgeries, hospitalizations, procedures.. 45 minutes later (j/k) we got to the prep for the scan. He then leaves and comes in with a lead encased syringe, and tells me don't worry, this is perfectly safe. What!?!?! Did I mention the lead encased syringe?!? Its encased in lead! and its Safe!? It really wasn't a big deal but I gave the guy as much crap as I thought I could get away with, he was still smiling when he left so I think I'm ok. Then I got to sit in this weird gravity recliner chair, that once you're reclined you need help to put the chair back down. There is a reason for that, they don't want you to move for an hour while your body lights up, really, while your body spreads the radioactive isotopes through your body sticking to the cancer. It lights up like a Christmas tree on the scan, wherever you have cancer the isotopes stick. ok, enough of that.
We will be meeting with our Radiologist next week to develop a plan. Since I was already at Huntsman, I snuck up and talked with Dr. Joan, and the nurses in the ICU. They pretended to be glad to see me..., no they really were glad to see me. We talked for a minute, but like always they were really busy. Keep up the good work! You guys/gals are awesome!!!! So now you know about as much as I do. In conclusion, Merry Christmas and have a lovely day.
Love Andy.
