Day 21 - PET scan Approval

Finally, I just received word from the Medical Aid, and the PET/CT scan people. I have an appointment to be scanned on Wednesday the 2nd of Sept at 07:30.

The PET/CT scan people send a long, detailed letter explaining what I must do the day before the scan, and how the actual procedure will work.

Today has been a lazy day. I spent most of it reading my book.
I have also been working with an old cassette tape course that I bought in 1984. It is a very good Setswana language course. I am converting the cassette tape recordings into mp3, and the books into a PDF. Lots of work, but it is a good course.
 But then I think about cancer. Why try to learn a new language that may take a few years to learn, then never use it anyway? Duh!

I have been reading about sugars and cancer. Many times on the internet I see people say to avoid sugars and alcohol. I am now convinced that there are good sugars, and bad sugars. If you just think that an orange has more sugar in it than a doughnut, you will see what I mean.
It seems that the life style that surrounds doughnuts and alcohol is the problem, not the actual sugar or alcohol. They both make you fat, which is bad for anybody. I will continue my bedtime Sherry. :-)

I am waiting patiently for my PET scan. It will tell me much more about the spread of the cancer. Maybe I want to start spending my money. I have savings to probably let me live until I am 90. If I get to spend that money in just a few years, then I am a wealthy man. I have no plans to die with money in the bank.

  1. "I have no plans to die with money in the bank." That's the spirit! But do some good with the money also. Use it for pleasure and for good. Karma. You never know what happens after you die. But I don't think you go away. Makes no sense to go away. Another format, but not go away.
