This was when I visited where I would get my chemo treatments, and all the side effects from chemo.
They have chairs facing an outside garden or you could have room, or a room with a bed. They have something for you to drink and snacks.
The nurse went through all the things I need to do during chemo. They have this great book about all the side effects and what is normal, when you need to call or go in, and how to deal with some things.
It was a lot of information to take in. Then I talked to another person about the medical part of it.
I got my "diet" for my PET scan. I can't have any bread, potatoes, nothing with caffeine or regular pop. No sweetened tea or regular Jello,. no fruit. Ugh. Glad it's only for one day. This is why I didn't do the Keto diet. I don't know how people do it!? And I can't eat breakfast.
But the kicker is right before the test, I have to sit quietly in a darkened room for 1 hour. This might be worse than being stuck in a tube.
My reward for the PET scan is going to Door County in the afternoon. We are taking the dog. Jovi got an Easter/spring outfit today. Its supposed to be cold tomorrow so she will probably put it on to keep warm. Oh, and I will get French Fries!
I have no idea what else goes with the PET scan. I guess if I have to sit quietly for one hour, that is God's way of saying I want you to talk to me for an hour on Wednesday. I will take the time to talk to God about my journey and what he wants me to do and ask for him to help me with what is going to happen next.
