Day After Treatment

Had a very late night so sorry I couldn't get my blog on last night. My appointments went well, doctor said everything is looking fine, blood tests are good and cancer markers are still going down. Hugh blessings!! My doctor did want me to have a PET scan so the scheduler called me, said I could have it at 9pm. Are you kidding? That's what I asked her. I just wanted to come to the room and go to bed. All the appointments are very exhausting and it took its toll on me yesterday. So I quit eating after 4 and prepared for the scan. That wasn't too difficult because I got my peanut butter and jelly sandwich while I was have treatments. After we left the hospital we went to the Outlet Mall to get some things for Andreas. There is a Under Armour store that is our favorite. We then came to the hotel and I got some rest. Robbin wakes me up to take me back to the hospital at 8:30. The nurse starts me on the process for the scan. After they put the radioactive contrast in I have to lay very still for one hour. Perfect, I went to sleep...woke myself up snoring twice!! I then went into another room when the machine is, laid down and they start the xray. It only took 30 minutes and I was out looking for Robbin who was patiently waiting for me. We got the shuttle back to the hotel and by 11:45pm I was in bed. Robbin is amazing! He always makes sure I have what I need to be most comfortable. As I got up this morning, my body felt very rested and feeling fine. Today we are waiting for the doctor to call with the results of the scan. I'm very confident that everything is ok. The doctor wanted to do this because it has been 6 months since my last one. Thank you again to all of you who pray and sent thoughts this way. I am so blessed to have all of you in my life. Love you all!!
