PET

 Yesterday I felt more like myself than I have in weeks.  I felt playful, loving, and kind.  I greeted people and spoke with them heart to heart, shared my testimony in class, and genuinely felt happy. One of our sister missionaries reached out to me with so much love and told me that their companionship was fasting for me.  I had some sister phone time, craft planning.  I coughed a bit, but didn't nap all day.  I felt the Holy Spirit near me, calming my anxiety.  It was a chilly but beautiful day.

This afternoon is the PET scan.  My 4th one over the course of years with breast cancer.  My health insurance is reluctant to approve them, but we certainly have justification beyond CT with the malignant fluid around my heart that occurred last month. I have been jittery, not about the procedure but the anticipation of results.  Will it accurately reflect progression?  Will it lead to treatment planning?  Will it reveal a course to follow or a timeline consistent with miracles I hope to anticipate.

Tina is my technician today.  It is comfortable working with her.  She did my first PET Scan when diagnosed and has been with me through this journey.  She is careful, precise, and calming.  My nerves have abated.  We will see what comes from the scan today.
