I had a "routine" PET/CT scan on Friday February 8, 2013. I was delighted NOT to have to drink the barium contrast they use when they do an abdominal CT scan. Brad and I arrived at Redlands Community Hospital at 6:45 am. The hospital has purchased new equipment and it is actually inside the hospital rather than outside in a trailer. The entire scan went much quicker than in the past. The nurse injected me with the radioactive glucose and left me to "bake" for 45 minutes before the scan. All went well except the nurse started the IV inside of my wrist because of my challenging veins. Ouch! That really hurt!
Yesterday I picked up the report and was delighted to read there was NO evidence of disease! Yeah!!!
My next rituxan treatment is on February 22nd. I'll keep you posted.
