Scans And Tests Today.

What a day I had today! left the house at 8am went to the hospital had to have a liver scan first unaware that you had to fast for it. I never usually eat in the mornings but decided to have a lovely croissant filled with chocolate and a hot chocolate drink to go with it. I was nervous about the tests. Turned out they could do the liver scan after all and she told me the liver looked good. What a relief and the first thing I thought was Thank you God. Next was the lung x-ray which only took a few seconds then I had my bloods done then down to the nuclear medicine for the injection into the arm to show up all my bones for the bone scan I was trembling with fear and the bone scan seemed endless my back was braking and my hands were going numb from keeping so still. I was asked if I had any pains in my bones I said no and was told I could go that I was all done. I was wondering why I was asked that question which had me even more worried when I left. It was bothering me so much I had to ring the breast nurse to find out why I was asked that question. She reassured me it was a normal question to ask looked at the computer and told me all the scans and x-ray results were back and that they were all clear !!! I was well happy. The cancer had not spread to other parts of my body. I go back to the hospital on Wednesday at 1 o clock for all the results and to see the specialist.
