PET Scan-Last Day of Radiation-Amazing Family



Okay- Yesterday was an incredibly crazy day. At 8:00 I had a P.E.T. Scan. This scan is pretty amazing. It takes about 2 and a half hours. The scan projects the entire body and the cancer cells show up in red. It also shows active parts of the body. Very cool to see.



After the P.E.T. Scan I went right over to get my LAST Radiation treatment. The staff are amazing! The radiation process would have much more difficult without these amazing people. I will always remember Mama Mia and relate it to my radiation, as they played it the first four weeks. The last week they put on some more updated music. I loved it. Yesterday the played CELEBRATION! These wonderful people also took my cute grandchildren to the radiation room and took them for a ride on the bed. They showed Brickman how the big machine moved around my body. What an amazing bunch!! So grateful I had the opportunity to know them. Even though they burned me up! Well at least the machine burned me up!





After my last radiation treatment, I went to get my blood levels drawn. Which came back with my White Blood Count is higher. YEAH!



Meanwhile- My incredible family took care of me the entire day! I am so happy I have such wonderful husband, daughters, grand kids, and son-in-laws.



When we got home my daughter brought me flowers. When I got home-- I was exhausted, emotionally and physically! I was talking to Janell about everything and the stress I was feeling. I started to cry with all the emotion that had built up inside of me. My sweet little granddaughter, Teagan, turned to me and said with conviction, "Grandma Glori- BE HAPPY" I just started laughing. What a little sweetheart!



I Love my Family!!
