PET/CT update.....
After I was told we may have to cancel test then.....I chugged the darn thing!!!
So, needless to say I servived and even stopped for breakfast at the first McDonald's we could find.....I had a McGriddle & Egg McMuffin and eat them both in record time!! Yhen I came home and went to bed. So I guess now we just do what we do best...wait!!
They said my Dr will have access to my report within a few hours, however, he is in surgery today so I don't expect to hear from him. But hopefully tomorrow. I will keep you posted!! Thanks everyone for being there and keeping me in your thoughts & prayers!

Oh Pammy..........
I so identify with your experience.
Going without caffeine for 24 hours just about did me in. I am a coffee-holic! My dear daughter was waiting for me in the waiting room, with a hot cup of coffee that she went and bought. It was so good!
Isn't that stuff that you have to drink just awful! They told me that if I had to use a restroom, while I was "resting", to use the one across the hall, as it was their "hot" bathroom. In other words, you are radioactive. Pee there.
And then, I don't know what I was expecting, but being the horrible claustrophobic that I am, when I saw the machine, I nearly back pedaled right out of there. Silly me, I hadn't taken any Xanax with me either.
In the end, I kept my eyes shut and recited the Lord's Prayer over and over to get through it. It kept my mind busy just long enough! Sheesh!
I am keeping fingers and toes crossed for good results for you!
Great big hugs,

Pammy, I'm glad the PET is over for you. Was hoping you'd hear results today, but will be looking for good results tomorrow. You will be in my thoughts. Like CR, I did not take a sedative with my first PET and recited "The Lord's Prayer" over and over. This last time, I had plently of Zanaz.
CR, is that a Golden Retriever I see? Are you getting a Retriever puppy? The pup in the photo is beautiful!0 -

That is my Kendall, better known as Kenny. Yes, Golden Retriever. He is 7 years old now. Has hip problems that are so prevalent in the breed. But he is ALWAYS happy! Kenny's sire is also the great grandsire of the pup we are getting.

LOL!! I forgot about them pointing out the bathroom.....but they were specific on only using THAT one......I did use it before I went into the machine and when they injected more contrast, I wasn't sure if I was "Peeing" or just getting that warm feeling. Turned out to be the latter!! Pammy 0 -
