    I have to share with you guys what I have been doing this morning at work. 

    I pulled a copy of my last Pet Scan (on disk) to take to a consult at another cancer center this Thursday.  My doctor and I have become good buds, and he usually goes through my scans with me.  But I can tell he get confused by the fact they are flipped (your right will be on the left side of the screen) and what you really are seeing in the placement on the body.  (PET has been right every time for me.)   Any way...I picked it up and brought it to work.  I have told the girls in the office about this scan and they wanted to see what it looked like.  They got a big kick out of the fact these ink dots were making life changes decision for me.  I still don't understand how they can pin point a dot of cancer in the middle of the blob!  They can find it in one node!  Any way we actually had a good laugh making fun of my blob.  I can find humor in strange places after a dx of cancer....

    Living in Hope,
