Carolin's New Hobby

The lovely summer of 2004 came to an abrupt end when Carolin was diagnosed with cancer. What follows are the random thoughts and experiences of the Camerons as Carolin fights back.

Bone Scan

I had a scheduled bone scan this morning. I left the house at 7:30 am to be at the hospital for 8:00 am. They injected me with the usual radioactive dye. Then I had 2 hours to wander around the hospital while the dye was absorbed into my bones. The first scan was at 10:30 am. That took 1/2 an hour. Then they asked me to hang around while the radiologist looked at the results. Then they took me to another machine to take some more detailed pictures of my neck. Another 1/2 an hour scan. Back to the waiting room. Then they said that they needed still more scans. I waited 1/2 an hour and then they sent me to yet another machine. This machine had 3 scanners and took 120 pictures in 1/2 an hour. So close to 1 pm I left the hospital.

Too many scans to be looking for nothing!! Will wait to hear the results. Nothing much surprises me anymore. But I'm not down - we will just do whatever comes next. Chin up!!

Bye for now.

    Hi Carolin,
    Wow, that is a lot of scanning. I am happy to hear that they are being very thorough with you although I can imagine how unpleasant the sittin' around must have been. Hard to keep that rascal mind in control at times like that, eh? It doesn't surprise me that you have your chin up....brace or no brace, amazing lady that you are.
    Still thinking about you every day.
