Ok so I got myself all wroked up for nothing. The bone scan was a peice of cake, it just sounds like it isn't. Marcel and I made the trek from Chilliwack in the blowing snow to Abby. We got there with lots of time to spare and safely.
We checked in to the Nuclear Imaging dept and they called me to do the injection. I had so much anxiety (not sure why.) Anyway they did the injection didn't feel a thing and I was in and out in 2 minutes. Then we had to come back at 1:30 for the scan. So we popped by Oma and Opas for a visit then headed back to the hospital. They called me for the scan and took me into this room with a big machine. They told me I could leave everything on incuding my boots and just lay down on the bed. They laid me down strapped my toes like a penguin and my arms wrapped at my sides. The bed slides into this scanning machine and you lay there for 15 mintues. Then they slide you out change the machine you put your arms above your head and they roll you back in for another 5. Piece of cake!
On the way home I asked Marcel to drop me off at the mall I needed one last pedicure. Pink toes before chemo tomorrow!!
I am radioactive for the next three days.
Chemo tomorrow at one, I promise I will keep you updated.
Cheers,
Liane
