Today was John's CAT scan, the first of two initial scans. He had to prep with two SUBSTANTIAL bottles of barium prior to arrival at the clinic. His comment..."It's needs vodka." This first test was quick; only about 10 minutes. Wednesday's PET scan supposedly takes 90 minutes+.
We did receive some very good news from Dr. Stiner's nurse, Jane. (GastroIntestinal -- G.I. -- Jane...get it?) She's terrific. Anyway, she phoned us mid morning to let us know that John's blood test results, checking for kidney/liver/iron/bone blah blah blah all came back normal. This indicates that his organs are functioning as they should and there are no elevated levels of anything else to be a worry, at least at this time.
So thank you for your prayers and good wishes. I like to think that your support has us off to a positive start on this journey.
That is excellent news indeed. I hope it continues to stay put and the funky spot won't be too troublesome to yank out.
