PET Scan

I am now scheduled for a PET Scan for next Tuesday to see what is up with the liver.  I am confident that it is nothing, but because I am on this journey, anything that looks unusual is suspect to the radiologists, so here we go.

For 24 hours prior to the test, I have to do no strenuous exercise, chew no gum, zero sugar, alcohol or caffeine.  The only safe liquid will be water up until 10 am on Tuesday.  Four hours prior to the exam, I can have a high protein breakfast.  No carbohydrates at all.  So a big omelet is in order.  They said I can have bacon, ham, or any protein item such as that, but I don’t eat that anymore because I am trying to keep my cholesterol down.  Ha.

I figure I can do anything in a short period of time.  A prayer for me on March 6 will be appreciated.

    • I should be fine to have prayer here. I just have to fast on certain foods is all for 24 hours. Then it will be over. I won’t be able to be around people after the test because I will have radiation in me, but that is Tuesday after the procedure.
