PET scan was not all that difficult--just being still for nearly two hours was the only challenge. They started off by giving an IV--containing an isotope of Boron. One hour was spent absorbing that material--and giving it time to spread throughout my body. The second hour put me in the PET scanner--where not moving was imperative. The PET scanner can't keep track of a moving target--non movement is required.

That scan concludes the series of tests and scans--now comes the analysis of it all. And a session with Dr. C next week--to unravel what the tests/scans seem to indicate. I don't anticipate whatever is concluded is going to be fun--the whole series of tests/scans seem to indicate otherwise since they were asked for. If there was noting in the earlier tests/scans--then the subsequent actions would not have been asked for. I still hold out a faint hope that the symptoms will just go away--and the body will heal itself spontaneously. That would allow for a wait and see approach--but is unlikely to occur.

This whole series of medical interventions has put me through a crash course--a course about what the medical system does and how it operates. It has been eye-opening--not pleasant but clearly painted.

Right now, I continue to feel like I'm don't have enough energy--and I can't seem to get enough rest to put my energy back on track. I feel like someone let the air out of my balloon--out of my core being that was fighting back on the PD front. The addition of the NHL coming on stream--seems to drain my energy pot as I attempt to balance between the two.

Plan on going to RSB tomorrow--and through the weekend right up to the meeting with Dr. C. And do some Xmas shopping--on Amazon! So be it!
