Steph,
Hope this test will do the 'trick' for you and show minimal rad damage rather than any activity of mets...

Another test for you to tuck away in your experience folder!

Oh Steph,

You know I feel like I'm sitting in the seat right next to you on this scary roller-coaster, and it's too late to get off now. We just have to hang on tight and give it all we've got. I know this is what you always do anyway! I'm thinking of you and praying my hardest. Love Kim

To all of you who held me in their thoughts today.
What I actually had was a scan in the new PET/CT machine.
They scanned my neck and head.
That was the easiest thing I have done - just more like a long CT scan, without having to drink something beforehand. Both screenings are done in ONE machine and the PET part was perfectly quiet - not even a light blinking to tell me something was happening.

And the space inside is a little larger than the old PET scanner so I did not even feel the sides with my elbows. So if anyone is problematic with tight spaces this will be easier for you to tolerate.

Hope to have some results by the end of tomorrow - the radiologist I know was not attending today, so could not get a "sneek peek."

Dear Steph,
I wish you the best result possible and no matter what this will pass too. I was thinking about you all day.
Big hug,

I just know you will get to the bottom of this and then you will rise to the top. You will be in my prayers and good luck. Hugs, Sandy
