It is 6am. I don’t have to be up but pre- dawn my brain switched itself on without warning. I have two scans lined up in Southampton. The first of these tomorrow is a special CT PET scan which involves my being injected with radioactive glucose. I am to starve for six hours tomorrow and have to rest all day today. This is a contrast with my gradual ability to increase my activities over the past couple of weeks now that the pain has receded. I feel frustrated that I am once more housebound, that I have to undergo invasive treatment tomorrow. Because of the contaminant in my system I won’t be allowed near pregnant women or babies but what effect will this have on me? There is an MRI scan next Wednesday followed by a hospital appointment to see the cancer specialist the following day.
Outside autumn is making its presence felt. There is a distinct chill in the Northerly wind. The swimming season is coming to an end soon. Will I be able to take it up again next spring? I struggle to accept the dramatic changes to my lifestyle.
