Mmmm, mmmm good...
You know that song "take one down, pass it around, 99 bottles of beer on the wall"? Well, that is exactly what I was doing Wednesday morning as I had to down two 450 ml bottles of barium, apple-flavored barium "smoothie" that is. The apple flavor did not cover the metal taste. But more importantly, I found out my 900 ml of barium was laced with laxatives...yeah, that makes for a fun day! Anyways, the barium was for my first post-treatement CT scan. I met with Dr. Huff (oncologist) today and everything was clean...I wasn't worried and I actually continue to get in trouble (by both my oncologist and radiologist) because I don't do self checks. I figure CT scans every three months will catch anything I need to be aware of. Appearantly, I am being non-compliant...I prefer to avoid paranoia though! :)
