Today I had my bone scan. My husband took me and I'm so glad he did. After they injected me with the dye we walked out of the building and I'm thinking: I can't believe this is happening to me. At times, I'm still in shock.
I talked to the radiologist about the dye. There are only five nuclear reactors in the world. One is in Canada, but it's been shut down for a year. The others are in Europe and we are still having trouble getting the isotope for the dye. My appt. was for Friday, but they called and wanted me to come in before it spoiled.
I knew it was going to be hot today, so I wore long shorts to school. It was only 98 degrees in Marble Falls. I had a little boy, tell me I looked like I was going to go play tennis. I told him I wish I was going to play tennis, but I was going to the doctor.
I'm praying now that they do not find any tumors on my bones. The kind of cancer I have is very, very rare. It is called a neuroendocrine tumor which is on my pancreas. On one website that I read, it said that only 100 people in the US have this kind of cancer. I go in for one more tests with the isotopes from Europe, which is scheduled May 17 & 18. But my doctor is really creative and thinks of more tests all the time. Doesn't bother me.
I continue to thank you for your prayers and cards.
Susan

You are such a unique individual! I know you will have bad days, and when you do, also think about all of us loving and praying for you. Thank you for doing this blog-I know it must be hard for you some days to write about it, but I really like knowing just a little bit of what you're going through.
