Today I went to yet more scans I am hoping they all come back clear !
Friday was the bone scan and when you enter the Nuclear Medicine Centre its never a good feeling, the staff at hospital are great and in a strange way they make you feel comfortable in the most uncomfortable situations.
The bone scan required that I had an injection and then was laying down and placed in a machine that they lowered big flat plates that sat only cm from your body, these took photos of you !
(They forgot to ell me that I may get a reaction from the injection and well I broke out in hives that were itchy hot and dotty all over my body - Joondalup hospital and 3 hours later I was crashed out on Fenergan)
The next was the CT scan and this required more injections of some unknown substance that when injected felt warm and when it reaches your bladder area (like I was told) makes you feel like you have wet yourself. It was a strange feeling and when in there I was reading a sign that said do not look into the light oops too late maybe it should be away from the light ???
Anyway next stop MRI well if I didn't have a headache before it I did after 40mins of a machine clanking and crashing and whining at me. Here is an image for you laying face down with your face in a hole like a meditation table boobs in a separate hole each (GG's by the way) on an angle so your chest is raised ear plugs in head phones on with a machine making really loud noises. Ha great adventure.
All through this my dad has been with me every step of the way and waited and waited and waited with me for all the appointments.Thanks to him being there it made me stronger, I love him with all my heart and the importance of him being there for me at this time is indescribable.
My mum and sister have been amazing talk about cleaning machines thanks for getting me, my house and my life ready to get through the biggest battle of my life. Being here for me to help my son not feel too uncomfortable he will need a lot of support :)
To my beautiful fiancé who I know will stand by me when I have no hair and look atrocious thank you, you are my reality check you are still there to tell me when I am being a bitch or to suck it up and most of all there to protect me and make me feel loved you are truly a legend I love you.
Tomorrow is the start of my fight and today I started my change by cutting 8.5 inches of my hair off placed it in a pony tail and cut ! now I have this. Well for as long as it lasts :)
