Last check ups in a nut shell...more cuts!!!
02/23/2010 - Chest CT/MRI. Early...Chest CT is cake, almost fall asleep in the MRI...
Wait while they look the scans over, get to chat with them, mention some swelling I noticed after I was given the check up schedule... Get felt up a lot, then told to schedule a PET...
03/05/2010 - PET...Early. way too early for a Foley catheter, not to suggest that there is ever a good time, sheesh. Later they inject me with a radioactive sugar and let that disperse throughout my body, walk me to the PET machine, lay there for around an hour as that scan runs... get the catheter out; go try to make the most of a nice weekend in Seattle!
03/09/10 - time to get results, if you can even call it that... Something there, glows pretty bright on the PET, but not as bright as they'd expect... Begin, again, the process of pre-op quesitons and scheduling. The only thing definative at this time is that I'm going in for surgery, on some Thursday in the future, and getting the thing removed and biopsied.
See buddy Allan, see IMAX 3D of 'Alice in Wonderland,' go to Red Mill after being thwarted on our attempt for grass fed burgers, then safely navigate rush hour traffic and contemplate next steps as I drive back home. Powerball ticket bought...
