8/6/10
I had x rays and a consultation with Dr Chong this morning. She says that from what she sees on the x rays there's no nasty tumors or anything like that in my shoulder or elbow. More than likely it's tendonitis brought on by the chemotherapy. She called it on the nose when I was diagnosed, so I'm counting on her expertise this time. I don't need this shit to get worse.
This afternoon I got the brainscan MRI. Back into the Star Trek tube for almost an hour. With my head in an open topped football helmet. Last time I could at least move my head. Not fun kiddies. Now I'm guzzling water to flush out the contrast dye. I get to do it all over again Sunday morning for my shoulder. That contrast crap is going to burn out my kidneys. Or my bladder. Freaking fun never ends.
Then on Monday I get the Lumbar puncture. Can't drive myself because they're giving me a LaLa pill before the big ass needle goes in. They want to make sure there's no Lymphoma cells swimming around in my spinal fluid.
Feh.
