Check, check, testing 1, 2, 3

So, my doctor mentioned that I needed some more tests done due to a high level of something in a previous test. She wasnt kidding. Apparently, whatever the specialist saw in the previous test can possibly be indicative of cancer somewhere in the endocrine system, as all the upcoming tests - according to WebMD - deal with that.

So this morning I had blood drawn, tonight I have a chest CT scan (a lovely addition to my abdominal CT scan), Monday I am on an all liquid diet (since I already cant have wheat, dairy, or sugar, I guess solids would be the next obvious deletion from my diet), as well as doing another 24 hour urinalysis which I drop off Tues morning at 7am, get more blood drawn that I shouldve had done today but they didnt have the right blood tubes and had to order them from the mayo clinic, then walk over to nuclear medicine for an octreotide scan at 8am. I get injected at 8am and then I wait to get scanned at noon, and then repeat the process on Wed and Thurs.

So, ya know, that all sounds fun...
