piece of cake

the pet-scan was a piece of cake. unlike the mri-scan the pet-scan device was not a tube but only a small ring (maybe 50cm thick). basically i had to lie on a strechter and wait till the ring completely based my body. this took a long long time, guess about 2 hours.

so after a very nervous night and more lexotanil i wait at the phone to receive the results the next morning. many thoughts are racing through my head. i feel like i'm stuck in a spiral, endlessly going forwards and backwards. thankfully dr h. already rings around 9 a.m: nothing at all showed up except the tumor in the right eye of course! no other visible tumors. a bit of good news in bad times.
