Yesterday, Wednesday January 5, 2022 I had PET scan #9.
The now familiar process went smoothly with the standard interview, IV fluids and the “sugar” injection, aka radioactive glucose! When the nurse does this she is gowned, masked, gloved and behind a shield. They did all of this before COVID, now it’s almost “normal” for most procedures.
After 1 hour of letting that stuff circulate, it’s into the tube for a 20 minute snooze as the machine scans my body.
After Shirley called yesterday and asked if there was any way of getting the results sooner than our appointment next Monday, I received a reassuring call this afternoon from Kelly our oncology nurse with an update on the PET scan results. “Nothing to worry about”.
We will still meet with the oncologist on Jan 10th for a full review of the PET scan and bloodwork results.
This process certainly has been a test of my faith. I believe I’m healed. I look at my tattoo and it reminds me that “the anchor holds” in the storm.
I can certainly relate to Mark 9:24 and the need to take every thought captive and win the war in my mind. Thank you Jesus.
