      Hi Family, i did it! Haha..there are some of you who are just like me, severe claustrophobia, its not the best phobia to have out of all the phobias, but i digress! I did it!
      I took 3 and a half 1mg Ativans, i took 1 before we left, 1 while we where driving, and 1 1/2 when i was gettin the injection! Perfect amount not a care in the world! I was sleepy and still and they played some Hard Rock for me..
      So now we wait for results, id say by Friday or even sooner, i havnt had a PET in over 2 years so, i hope all they see is what we already know, lung tumours, one on stomach and the 12mm spot they found in my last CT in early May on my intestine….I will forward my results asap, im STILL DROWSEY! Its nap time…
      Thank you all and hope you all are feeling good…

                                Im not new to the forum but have been keeping up with it since 2014. You are such a breath of fresh air to everyone on this forum. Ive been keeping up with it since then and my second recurrence. When I see your posts it makes me smile. I hope you got good results from your PET scans. Thinking of you here in North Carolina.
