Fuzzy Radiation

Now I have to make more decisions. Prior to my talk today with my radiation oncologist I was for sure getting radiation. Now he is saying that maybe I shouldn't get it. There are lots of reasons why I should or shouldn't, and that would be boring to hear about. My case is just too rare, and there are no studies exactly relevant to my specific condition.

So, next up is another PET scan (for which my insurance will pay $6,000), then another meeting where we will decide IF I will do more treatment and then HOW I will do it. I say just stick me in a big microwave and see what happens...maybe sparks will shoot out of my eye sockets and ears.

And I'm back to my part-time job of doctor visits. Wednesday is a checkup with my medical oncologist, Thursday is my fourth PET scan, then September 7 we meet again and talk about treatment. I was starting to miss getting poked through my skin with needles, so I am glad to have another PET scan technician miss my veins and dig around inside my arm trying to jab my vein with her syringe of radioactive isotope goop.
