Martha's Vineyard/PET Scan



Tomorrow at 11:30 is my PET Scan, which is a longish process (injection, wait 45 minutes, then go into scanner for 20 minutes or so) that gives doctors more detailed imagery than the CT Scan and will be a great benchmark for how things went with chemo. I won't get any results until next Monday, but I'm not nervous about the test or results as the mid-point CT showed great progress.


Friday Kristina and I will head out to Edgartown on Martha's Vineyard for the weekend...a great opportunity to relax and celebrate the end of the chemo process, and almost the end of summer. Martha's Vineyard always offers a great opportunity to wear clothes you wouldn't be caught dead in elsewhere and color schemes loud enough to scare small children. The bald look isn't really in-line with the whole island lifestyle, but the new-age prepsters out there will have to deal with the glare off my pale dome, it's the only head I have to bring.


So I'm keeping things light and happy to be feeling well - looking forward to some R&R and a great weekend; post an update next week after I get the PET results and meet with my oncologist and radiation oncologist...almost time for radiation, which means almost time to be all done!
