Battle Wound from IV / Blood work, Labs and Scans

20130507-091953.jpg

Battle wounds from 2 IV’s over the past week for the PET and CT scans and lab work yesterday:(

The good news is for both IV’s they got it on the first try and no fainting episodes!!!!!!!! I got their names so I can ask for the ladies up at MD next time I have a scan, lol. Kind of like my blood draws, Jewels is my lab lady every Monday. Once I found her, since I am a fainter, I started requesting her every time. Before Jewels I was a disaster when it came time to draw blood, but since her I am no longer afraid. She has been drawing my blood for almost a year in June (since I started chemo) and has never missed. I am so thankful to have met her and she helped me get over my fear. However, in the event of her absence I have to ask for a senior tech :)

Next post is chemo update and scan results. Sharing pictures of my tumor on the next post.
