ANOTHER PET SCAN

Yesterday I had a Pet Scan. The results of this test concerns me, because so much is riding on it. I leave in 8 days and I will be going on my journey no matter what. If they have to change my medication protocol, then I have my work cut out for me to get enough pills before I go. Not likely to occur. I may have to get the new prescription while I am away, if I can. Hopefully, there will not be a need to get intermuscular shots like I had before and God forbid I need chemo. All this worrying is wearing me down.

The previous Pet Scan indicated that I have hot spots in my celiac bone, which my doctor believes to be another area that I have cancer. My doctor suggested that I get a bone fortifying infusion every three months. I am waiting to see if the Pet Scan I took shows that it is getting bigger, I do not think I will proceed with the medication even if it is getting bigger. I do not want another drug that could cause me joint pain and other maladies while I am away. It should be noted that I exercise 4-5 days a week, I am physically active.  I have osteopenia, which most women over 50 have. I will keep an eye on the hot spot and I will make a decision after each new scan, but for now I am not going to have the infusion.
