My
pet/CT Scan is to put radiation into sugar then inject it into me.
The sugar clusters around areas of cancer and the radiation is read
by the machine producing a 3D picture of any cancer in me. The
previous scan in march was to determine how much and where the cancer
was, the purpose of this scan is in the hope that there isn’t any.
The picture is the doctor injecting the radiation into my arm. The
yellow box has radioactive sugar into it which takes a few minutes to
administer. I then wait an hour for it to reach every part of my body
before the scan. I’m then radioactive and can’t be near children
under 18 and pregnant women for a further 6 hours. Results in 2
days. Gulp!
