ok as most of you know during my other health issues the radiologists saw some things in my lungs and bladder that needed further investigation. A NORMAL CT scan was not the best way to see what they needed to see… So the did a PET Scan… The short story to a PET Scan is that “bad Cells like cancer” love sugar so they attach the nuclear radiation to sugar in the mix and inject it in the patient. The bad cells will suck up the sugar (and nuclear material) which in turn lights up brite on the scan pictures… The brighter the spots the worse off you most likely are.
Well my lungs and bladder were DARK they did not absorb any of the nuclear stuff so the cells they saw on the CT scan are not cancer. The mass in the bladder will still need to be dealt with but at this point it’s just a mass that should not be a cancer threat
But as with Murphy’s law the Pet scan material has gone to my lower spine and lit it up like a christmas tree so there is something going on there that needs further review. There is a blood test that they are conducting now that if this is aggressive bone cancer it will show in the blood and I have two MRI’s scheduled for Thursday the 22nd.
I will update you once I hear about the blood test as that should come back prior to the MRI’s being done…
Things could be worse and as most of you know I am a fighter and I don’t give up!
I will need to start gaining the 60lbs back that I have lost over the last several months but I am having no problem starting a weight gain diet that includes lots of calories and carbs…
