This morning I had a PET scan. It’s just routine after treatment. It’s a pretty easy test. My biggest obstacle was having to drink the barium. But awesomely enough, the one I had this morning looked and tasted like water (NO BERRY CHALKY FLAVORED SHAKE-WOOHOO!!)
I’ll be seeing my Radiation doc for the results of the PET. I think we’ll all be surprised if I don’t get the “all clear”.
Also, I’ve been dealing with a mild case of lymphedema (swelling in my legs, feet and abdomen). I just finished therapy for it.
There are pluses to cancer-Therapy for lymphedema is a 45 minute massage 3 times per week.
I’ve also just received my massage suit so now I will be able to treat at home instead of going to therapy. It should help me fit into my shoes before the cold weather hits.
Also on the plus side, I can dress as the Michelin man for Halloween because that’s pretty much how I look and feel in it.
It may also be a source of income too. I keep joking that I’m going to charge people to use it much like the massage chairs at the mall.
The downside, is it the hottest thing I have ever had on my person. I have to wear it twice a day for an hour at a time. I may melt.
Thanks for your continued prayer!
How Can You Pray
*Good results from the PET
*That the suit works. I know it’s such a little thing. But it’s tough some days trying to find clothes AND shoes that fit.
* For a good attitude. Some days I get so caught up in the day to day “irritants” that I lose sight of what’s really important. My grumpiness stands in the way of people seeing Jesus in this journey.
*For others that have been recently diagnosed.
