So now that we have our diagnosis it's time to get started and boy do we start out running. The surgeon wants a CAT scan and a full body bone scan to see if the cancer has spread anywhere. Within 2 days I have had both scans and met my medical oncologist. I have also completed the genetic questionnaire.
Now on a side note. During the CAT scan the tech mentioned that one of the medications injected into my veins would cause a flush. First in my chest and then in my pelvic area. He warned me that many people insists that if feels as if they have wet themselves. Now I did feel a flush in my chest and when it moved to the pelvic area I also felt a flush and did feel a bit wet... but not in the sense that the technician suggested. It was more of an arousal flush... Bring on those type of tests right? Might as well enjoy!
My medical oncologist set me up for at MUGA scan to make sure my heart can handle chemo. He wants to start chemo within 1 week.
