PET scan day

As to be expected, I did not receive any information today :(. I should be getting the results the same day I start chemo.........that's not cool. The girl who got me started was the same one that drew my blood work last time. I walked back into the room and the first thing she noticed was my super cute hair cut. I then showed her my super cute port, and we celebrated with some more blood work! Yea! Then I had to drink this super yummy barium drink....ok, it really was not super yummy, it tasted like a whole cup of strawberry flavored Milk of Mag. Mmmmm. The radiology tech came to get me. We stopped by the puzzle table to let the gang know I would be an hour and a half and to grab my coat to go outside to the mobile PET scan. It looks like a tractor trailer with fancy writing on the side. Inside there were 2 chairs side by side with a half wall between them. The tech put me in one of the recliners and hit me with the radioactive glucose via my port, flushed me and then told me to kick back and relax for 45 minutes. I threw in my Ipod and did just that. Can't do much more in a room the size of my closet. After 45 minutes she came and got me, had me put my coat on to go back into the cancer center to pee and have the needle removed from my awesome port and have it properly SASH'd by the tech and back out to the trailer we went. The scan itself took about 45 minutes. I was gradually pulled through the doughnut while I jammed out to my Ipod and then I was done. I went inside the cancer center to fetch my sisters and John and dug through the candy bowl for a box of very much needed Nerds, man was I hungry! By the way, I am not to be hanging out with any infants for 24 hours since I am radioactive so don't bring any babies over until tomorrow night! Love you all and i really appreciate all the feedback!
