Just back from my pet scan. Was away over 3 hours. Now Im so tired but I can't sleep as I had to lie flat on my back with my arms above my head. Stretching the wounds doesn't help. Need paid relief. Will call for some.
Will write on this thread as I find the strength.
Thanks everyone.

Keep your strength up lovely lady.  Hope that pain relief has kicked in and they can start treatment ASAP.  Hope Daisy is in good hands too.

Marj - it was great to see you, and looking pretty good, considering. That hospital is so big - we got lost about four times, a couple of pretty young ladies offered to walk us over to where you are.

Marj was off having "procedures" - I pictured blood tests, etc., but no, she goes for the big stuff - scans of every organ in her body! The lymphoma is contained, which is good, easier to treat - it hasn't travelled to other parts of her body, though there are two small lymph nodes at the bottom of her neck which are a bit "iffy" - but chemo, which starts next week, should get rid of them.

Not a good way to do it, but Marj has lost about 10kg in two weeks, before she went to hospital, weighed herself today and thinks she has put a bit back on.

As I said, looking good, and with good attitude, our Happy Wanderer will be back wandering before too long!

So glad we visited Marj - heart.gif

Going to try and post photo I received today. I have now changed its name from the little green man to The Abdominal  Snowman.

For anyone offended don't  look. It might offend you but so far I'm keeping a positive attitude and want to stay that way

The large white mass is the snowman.20160415_170042.jpg

Sorry it's sideways.
Tomorrow I have to be up early as I'm playing model to the trainee doctors who are sitting exams. I'm the patient with this unusual condition that they poke and prod at making noises andcoming to conclusions. Then I sit and watch them sit their exam.
