So I’m doing a dosimetry study as part of my cancer treatment.  There are only a few cancer centers in the country that offer it.  Jury is still out on whether or not that is a bad thing.  Yesterday I was gone 12 hours driving, waiting, getting blood drawn, waiting, getting whole body scans, waiting.  Oh, and I got to fast until 3pm because the lab was super slow getting my blood work done.  Today was supposed to be just a quick blood draw, laser-type thingie and a wbs, in the door and out in about 30 minutes… ha.  There is no such thing as “quick” anything at the hospital.  The WBS machine was down until noon which meant that I had to go shopping.  I had to.  There was nothing else to do but sit in the nasty hospital waiting room.  This is getting expensive.  Between the gas driving 140 miles round trip every day and amusing myself in my old college town while waiting for one technician or another to get something done I am spending a lot of money every day.  Still beats chemo by a long shot.  But I miss my babies when I’m gone all day.
