Hello team
(really anyone who is still checking this, which might be my mom and sister) I am supposed to have a
CT Scan every 3 months and a
PET Scan every 6 months. This past week was a
PET/CT scan combo. I have the most interesting experiences at these things. They first do a pregnancy test and it came back
negative...I was shocked. HA HA!! For the
PET scan they make you drink this nasty, sugar filled drink and then sit in a room for 45 minutes doing NOTHING!! No music, no TV, no reading and no talking...
all alone. It's because they need to see how your body processes the sugar stuff. Cancer cells eat that stuff up so that's one way they check it out. That part takes a while...Then on to the
CT. Last time I was there they pulled the IV out too quick and I got
blood all over my arm.
LAME. This time was a great adventure again. I put my arms above my head and they put the contrast in my IV and the IV pops...
blood all over my arm and a few spots on my neck.
Super fun! Needless to say I am amazed that I have this luck. If it happens next time I go I'm not sure what I'll do. Kind of funny, Kind of irritating.
So this was on Monday and my doctor was in office half day all week so I didn't get my results until Wednesday. Now I try to be positive and optimistic...but I'll be honest every time these scans come around I get
nervous. Plus I'm having some additional health problems so this time I was really
nervous. But it came back with one hot spot, by my windpipe on my thymus gland. My oncologist said it was common for that gland to freak out after being suppressed by the chemo. So he's not worried and I trust him. But just to make sure I'll have another PET Scan along with my
CT in May.
Thanks to everyone for your patience and support while I was an emotional wreck.

Good luck Kristen! We are all rooting for you and love you!
I am so sorry you have to go through all of this. My mom had lymphoma 5 years ago and I can remember all of the anxiety with her tests. I hope your next scan is better and that you are feeling better. My family's motto is "cancer sucks".

Hey Kristen - I'm still thinking of you. You're such an awesome woman. *smooch*
Kristen, you are the best. I am always praying for you and hoping for the best. Love ya
It is no secret that I have a very deep and personal relationship with God. I have pushed and resisted that relationship this past year through all the bullshit I have had to go through living with Herpes but once again, God is bigger than my stubbornness and broke through that outbreak cold sore and all I had Genital Herpes. For me personally, hearing over and over how I am not good enough has really invaded my mind in the worst way possible. I completely shut down and I was just waking up like is this how life going to end this temporary herpes outbreak “fuck everybody with herpes if you know what I mean” but let's be honest here...
It is a cowardly to say no to herbal medicine. It is fear based. And it is dishonest to what my heart wants. Don't build a wall around yourself because you are afraid of herbals made or taking a bold step especially when it's come to health issues and getting cure. So many young men/ women tell me over and over that Dr Itua is going to scam me but I give him a try to today I feel like no one will ever convince me about herbal medicine I accept Dr Itua herbal medicine because it's cure my herpes just two weeks of drinking it and i have been living for a year and months now I experience outbreak no more, You can contact him if you need his herbal medicine for any such diseases like, Herpes, Schizophrenia,Cancer,Scoliosis,Fibromyalgia,Fluoroquinolone Toxicity Syndrome Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva.Fatal Familial Insomnia Factor V Leiden Mutation ,Epilepsy Dupuytren's disease,Desmoplastic,Diabetes ,Coeliac disease,Creutzfeldt–Jakob,Dairies,Lyme Disease,Epilepsy, ,ALS,Hepatitis,Copd,Parkinson disease.Genetic disease,Fibrodysplasia disease,Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Men/Woman infertility, bowel disease ,Huntington's disease ,Diabetes,Fibroid. disease,Lupus,Lipoid Storage diseases( Gauchers disease),Polycystic Disease.,Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy, Ataxia,Cirrhosis of Liver,Arthritis,Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis,Alzheimer's disease,Adrenocortical carcinoma.Asthma,Allergic,HIV, Epilepsy, Infertility, Love Spell,. Email..drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com then what's app.+2348149277967.... My advice to any sick men/women out there is simple... Be Always an open book. Be gut wrenching honest about yourself, your situation, and what you are all about. Don't hold anything back. Holding back will get you nowhere...maybe a one way ticket to lonelyville and that is NOT somewhere you want to be. So my final truth...and I'm just starting to grasp this one..
