Tests, tests, tests...

Yesterday I had my first round of tests--a full body PET and a bilateral mammogram. The former was annoying, because I had to drink radioactive water and then get more radioactive stuff in my veins. I am tired of all the needles. however, the mammogram was much worse than what I expected. It hurt like hell, on both sides. On the right side, because of the port, which got pulled and pressed into my chest. On the left side, because of the scar tissue inside of my boob. Tomorrow I will go to get the blood tests done. They will have to draw a lot of blood, I am afraid. Again, I am tired of all the needles. But at least I am feeling almost normal!! This week I have been able to get up, work, walk the doggies, play the piano. I am not dizzy, not nauseous. No puking, either. YAY!!! Everything is ok.
