New PET SCAN Schdeduled

Thought while I was thinking about it, I would write an update.

I just received my scheduled appointment for my PET Scan.  It will be May 31 @ 10:30am -- Scripps.  They are so wonderful there at that particular part of the medical center.  I can't say I'm looking forward to drinking my radioactive drink -- 1 quart of that lovely substance, but I can down that stuff now with the best of them!  Doesn't taste like anything -- has a slight sweetness to it so it's palatable.  You wait 45 minutes for the liquid to travel throughout your body and hopefully NOT ATTACH itself to any cancer cells!  It's attracted to glucose in your body which is where cancer likes to attach itself. 

Even though I feel wonderful and believe in my heart I'm still cancer free, that little voice creeps in and starts it's own mantra of sorts with the I wonder IF.............. Do you think it may be there? Could it be again? What if................

But then I get pissy and stop that nonsense. I am human afterall and I fall from time to time.  So I ask this out there in cyber space:  CONTINUE YOUR PRAYERS.  CONTINUE YOUR MANTRAS whatever they may be.  But I am asking, keep me and my family in your prayers,  good thoughts, good energy and postive affirmations -- it never hurts to ask, right?  So I'm asking.  All of you who have heard me in the past have been the best at giving back and I am eternally grateful for all of it!  I hope I can give back more as well.

Once again, this is part of the process after going through cancer treatments. And I'm with a group of doctors that are extremely PRO-ACTIVE and I LOVE IT!  I feel lucky beyond comprehension that I have such an amazing group of professionals -- not just the doctors, but all their staff members who work so diligently to do their best for their patients.  They deserve the extra kudos!

Anyway, I will receive my results in a 24 hr turn around period -- not sure if my doc will call me on the weekend, but I'll be happy to hear it on Jim's Birthday, which is Monday, June 4.  It will be a double celebration, right?  Gotta keep the faith and the positive energy flowing NO MATTER WHAT!  And if I freak out a bit, oh, well, I will then get back up and begin again. Or go do some more Yoga!  LOL

Ok. Done for now. Keeping the Cup Half Full ~ STILL!

Ciao, Ciao
