Gotten behind on updates here. Have had several appointments last month, mostly for pain management. It's not the cancer. That's not causing me any problems...yet.
It's the sciatica that's kicking my butt. Trying everything offered. Medication, exercise. Even getting acupucture that has helped.
As far as the cancer goes, I had another PET scan yesterday. Really took a lot out ofe as I wasn't to have any liquid starting at midnight. The scan wasn't scheduled until noon. Nothing to eat four hours before. I decided not to take any chances of messing up the scan so limited myself to a slice of toast before 6:00 AM.
Showed.up for the scan tired and hungry. They put in an IV so they can inject something during the scan. There was a wait while they finished someone else's scan. I promptly fell asleep.
My turn came and I was awakened. Had to empty pockets. I told the young lady I was counting the change from my pocket. She counted for me going along with my lame joke. They're so patient with us old vets.
The scan took about.20 minutes and I.was on my way out of there. As a diabetic I had a candy bar with me and devoured that as I walked the long spooky halls in the basement.
Naturally the cafeteria was closing down. There was a heated cabinet that only had some tepid fish sandwiches. I could see why they were left over with the first bite. Hunger didn't.stop me from inhaling.it.
Hope for results in a couple days. Then I need someone to explain it to me. My hope is to see further shrinkage of the bone cancer lesions.
