Give me a P, give me an E, give me a T.... what does that spell? WORRY!!!

I had my PET scan done today to see how far the cancer has been spreading over the past three months.
Hopefully the results will go as follows..." Oh we are soooo sorry, and we will be re-embersing you 1.2 million dollars for all the pain and suffering, but we seem to have you mixed up with another patient. You don't have cancer at all. But hey, look on the bright side, you got a free boob job out of it!"

So, since that isn't quite what will happen. I thought it would be fun to show you my version of a PET scan.....
 K, these animals are just plain weird so I had to throw them in!

And here is a mind boggler as a pet gets a PET scan. hummmm. I wonder if he will have tail cancer?!

And here is how the real show goes. After being in a "hot" room for an hour so the radiation can run rampant through your body, they take you into this room and start your scan. The part that always KILLS me is that they have the results INSTANTLY on their screens right there, but they are not allowed to tell you anything about your test results....arrrrrrrrrggggggg

So, welcome to the next stressful 36 hours of my life where they try to hold me back from begging the results off of them. I have to wait until my appointment at 12:15 on Wednesday.  Patience is a virtue or some other piece of wonderful advice similar to that.

My prayers are with you. I am praying for Gods complete healing for you. Here are a couple of verses that always encourage me. I hope you like them. Romans 8:28 And we know that God causes all things to work together for the good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. Romans 8:38,39 For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
