After they took some of my blood to mix with the isotopes, i walked out in the hall for water, and there was a…

Update
I had my appointment with the radiation oncologist yesterday (same one I used 2 years ago with the bc). He tapped into the hospital website and showed Kevin and me the computer images from the CT, bone scan, MRI and PET scan. Looks like T-12 is fully involved and parts of L-1. The "numerous metastatic foci" that showed on…

I totally want to be asleep, like in a twilight with Propofol or something like that. Has anyone had this done? This vertebra hurts so much already--feels like someone took a…

Is it like an exam? Or do you just sit and talk? Do they do any blood work, weigh in type stuff? He will have all my pathology reports, Oncotest, ect..
