The 19th September has come and gone. I took my friend for her CT scan. We had to arrive an hour earlier than the appointment time of 12.15. This was so that my friend could drink 2 litres of a clear liquid over the period of one hour. The liquid smelt like aniseed but tasted vile.
About ten minutes before she had to go in for the scan she was fitted with a cannula so that a dye could be injected. After waiting an hour longer than expected so it was now 1.15pm the scan itself took place. The scan takes about 15 minutes after a 2 hour wait.
Now all we have to do is wait for the results when we see the Oncologist on 26th September.
Overall my friend is not too good at all. Still very tired and now suffering pain in the left side of her chest. We think she may have cracked a rib as she has lost so much weight it would be easy to do.
We are still taking each day as it comes, tomorrow is another day.
