OK, my bad! What I thought was going to be a PET scan turned out to be a kidney function test! So I put myself on nil-by-mouth from 5 am for no reason and missed breakfast unnecessarily!<\/p>\n
So a simple test, a radioactive tagged substance is injected into the blood stream and then blood is sampled after 2 hours, 3 hours and 4 hours to measure the elimination rate (and taking into account the half life of the tracer etc).<\/p>\n
I am dressed and was ready to walk down to the nuclear medicine department, but I had my chauffeur wheel chair. I have did the trip back on my own, and the first monitoring trip. I do feel a bit wobbly, doesn\u2019t take long to lose muscle tone, so I need to be walking! Off again in 10 minutes.<\/p>\n
Just had a visit by one of the team. Going home looking good, but need to sort out the contents of my ‘party bag’ – drugs I need to take home with me, steroid doses etc (can\u2019t just crash out of those, I need to be weaned off them) but otherwise almost packed and ready to go!<\/p>\n
