PET Scan

Today I went to get the scan done. It was interesting. They injected me with a radioactive sugar solution for an hour before they sent me into the tube (for about 40 minutes).

Now we have to wait for the results. I will meet with my physicians next Thursday (26th) to hear what came from it. Hopefully they will be able to tell from this scan if there is still live cancer or not. And so the waiting game continues.

Everybody say "scar-tissue"

What a test of stamina. To be constantly waiting and waiting.

Thanks so, so much for the quick update. I will shout it from the roof top so that everyone knows "the word" and passes it on for the world to repeat!!!
One more long week to wait--if it was me, I would probably get good and drunk.
Take care and know that you are loved.

Hey Olaf,

Definitely Scar Tissue.

As I've been reading your blog, I've thought a lot about one quote I saw at the Winston Churchill museum in London England last year: "Stay strong and carry on."

However, there's one in particular that I find even more appropriate for you Olaf: "Never give in -- never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense."

NEVER give in. Ever. You have fought and continue to fight with such incredible strength. While it may not feel like that to you at times, you have knocked that tumour back into yesterday.

So NEVER give in.

We all are supporting you with our thoughts and prayers from near and far.

Joy

P.S. Did I say that it was Scar Tissue? ;)
