Yet more medical stuff
Feb. 6th, 2004 02:23 pmI just got off the phone with the nuc med doctor.
Apparently the good wishes of my Irish friends have worked magic, and I've got a date of March 17th to go in and have the tracer dose. At that point, we'll also do other bloodwork.
I'll go back on the 19th to take a big dose. I'll stay there the whole day, and then go home in the late afternoon. I don't have to be in isolation, since I have a room I can stay in and a separate bathroom.
I'll go back, probably on the following Tuesday, for a whole body scan, and a discussion of what they find in that scan.
The upshot is that I'll be done this stage of the process by March 23. I can go to the wedding on the 27th, and I can leave anytime after that.
