Had yet another bone scan yesterday. They’d moved my appointment ahead a day, siting shortage of techs so I had to be up at 5:45am to make the 7:45am appointment. I’m not a fan of mornings or driving for 35 minutes that early or driving in the dark.

Naturally, it took them two attempts to give me the injection. Bone scans used to be the easiest of all the scans and tests I have to do. Now they’re starting to kick in my anxiety as much as CT’s and bloodwork. It seems the more of all this stuff we do to keep track of the cancer growth, the higher my anxiety gets and the more I have to fight the flight response. Don’t even get me started on having to wait a week before I can see the results!

There is good news today. It may not be in time for me but it’s going to help a lot of other people. $440 million will go a long way toward helping BC cancer patients. https://news.gov.bc.ca/releases/2023HLTH0012-000229
