Comments(1) Hey, wanna see my guts? Well, my guts 5 years ago, anyways.
This is from a PET scan. They injected me with a radioactive sugar, then scanned me for three hours to see what parts of my body used the sugars the fastest (highest metabolism). It’s used to locate tumors (which have a high metabolism). Apparently, it’s also used to diagnose certain types of schizophrenia. I was the former, and this scan is pre-chemotherapy. I’m going to try to obtain the PET scan images from after chemo to compare. My tumor is one of the two large blobs in me chest, next to my heart.
(P.S.- doesn’t it look like I’m looking for my wallet?)
I think I had some candy with radioactive sugar once. I gave it a glowing review. I believe it was in the junk food shelf, just below the Geiger counter.
