Today I had my first PET scan. We picked up a friend on the way for moral support and company. At first, I was a little scared for the nurse to prick my finger to test my sugar. Felt so silly after cause it was nothing. Next the IV! Ew. The poke wasn't bad but the pump injecting the sugar dye freaked me out. I could feel it pulsing through my vein. Having a friend for distraction helped a lot. Now I had to wait an hour for the actual scan. They gave me a huge drink, a comfy chair, and we played cards to pass the time. The worst part was being in the 'big scary cancer machine' and lying still for 20 mins. Hoping and praying that my liver would not show any activity.
Friends came over to jam after and it was a pretty good night. Filled with lots of love and laughs.
