Sheesh. I had my PET scan yesterday. I thought it was to check to see if I'm a suitable owner for a dog or cat but it seems it's a Positron Electro Tomograph or something...They called to say it had been postponed from 10am (reasonable) to 7pm (late!) because they had to fly in the nucleur material to inject from Montreal. Trust me to get the expensive goods. I had to fast 6 hrs then they inject 6mm of sugar based nuclear goo, leave it an hour, then see where it goes in my body. Cancer cells will soak up more, they love that sugar, wouldn't you know it! First they tested my glucose level: 4.2 (4-6 is good) so it was all systems go. After blowing a couple of veins - that's the way it goes will all blood tests now, the chemo has ruined my veins - they found one that would take the heat. It was painless and I just lay there inert for an hour, going off to my place in the sun, waves lapping, landing by helicopter on a secluded beach and sitting under a palm tree. Ahhhhhhh imagination is great.So today I'm radiactive for about 24 hours. Mustn't approach children or pregnant women closer than 6 feet. Drink lots and pee all day. Great. I have board meetings today and all day tomorrow so hopefully I won't be glowing in the dark by then.
