My Lovely Bones


More good news! My bone scan was negative for cancer!
I'm so so happy. More happy than my brain scan for some reason. Maybe because I thought, perhaps, cancer was lurking in my bones more than my brain. Who knows what evil lurks in the marrow of bones...

I was radioactive for a while. Perhaps I still am. With bone scans, they inject you with a radiation (tracer) and a camera at the end of the machine picks up the radioactive isotopes that are emitting from your bones. There are no rays or waves or anything shooting through you, you emit radiation and you glow in the dark for a while as well. Also, your pee glows.

I'm a-radioactive...

Sang that all day along with the Tom Waits songs.

Anyway, the image then shows dark spots where there is unusual activity. Perhaps the bone is healing or sending lots of protein/blood to that spot because of a tumor or weakness or cancer.

Either way.. MAH BONEZ IS GOOD BITCHES!!

P.S.
I lied about the glowing parts.
