Day three is exciting. I will be receiving a scan that will show how well the radiation took to the tumors. We do not have a comparison scan yet for these tumors, as this is the first of LU177, therefore we cannot judge any changes in the tumors. In April, my third and last of treatments for this round, will be able to give us an indication. True results may take many months and I will go for a special GA68 scan, in September or October, available at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, y'all.
At 11:00 my buddy Pierre comes in to retrieve me for my scan. As he guides me down the hall to the elevator, I remember this time to keep my distance. A good six feet and try not to cross in front of people as it is not good for them to walk in the radioactive path I create. I'm a little bomb.
Down in the scan room I undergo forty five minutes of scans. No contrast dye is needed as the radiation lights up the image. Quite nice, not to have to have an IV injection, this is a piece of cake.
The scan is complete and Pierre takes me back to my room, where my lunch of pasta and potatoes in a cheese sauce, salad with fruit and walnut poppy seed cake await. Actually not bad, as far as hospital food goes, this picky girl is happy.
At two o'clock my hunky hubby arrives with a nice croissant, and he takes his seat behind the iron wall. If I am on the bed and he is in the chair, we can't see each other. Those of you who know my husband well, will laugh at this, because, well, it is so Adrian. Not to be left out he gets up and adjusts the mirror on the medicine cabinet at just such an angle. We can now see each others' eyes. But wait he has rubbed off on me over the years. I hit the button on the bed and it rises four inches until we can see each other. Oh, love.
At six o'clock, Professor Wild and Dr. Kaul arrive with news of the scan. The uptake of radiation was very good again. It also showed there were more than one tiny tumor in my left breast and two seen on the right, which we hadn't know about yet. There is also a tumor on the right thigh. The good news is they are small and the radiation was drawn to them. The radiation will keep them small and they are really only a problem if they grow large. It was good that I came for this treatment now. If the disease is left untreated and tumors grow large the success of treating them is less. The mindset in the United States is to wait until later in the course of disease to use the PRRT treatment. I hope as this treatment, is now in studies around the United States, that this myth will be corrected as the research guides them to a fuller understanding.
Well, good night. Tomorrow I will return to the apartment to finish decontamination, before I board the plane home on Valentines Day.
Another good one Mom, don't forget to take pictures of all these funny things you talk about. :)
