PET Scan

Neil had his PET scan on Saturday. It was sort of a fiasco...first, we got there and the mobile unit wasn't in the lot (they bring a huge trailer and they actually do the scan in there). A receptionist told us to wait in radiology (last time we just went straight to the truck and used a waiting room in an old part of the hospital). About an hour passed and there was a shift change so they kind of forgot about us until the PET scan tech came to ask if he had any patients waiting there. So finally we went back to the mobile unit. He waited about another half hour and they injected him with the dye. He had to sit another hour to let the dye circulate. The scan then took another hour. He was really tired by the time it was all said and done.

He should get the results tomorrow morning at his oncology appointment. The doctor is out of town, but the nurse can give him the news. We appreciate everyone's thoughts and prayers at this time! Whatever the results are tomorrow, I will be sure to give you all an update.
