I got my CT scan date!: Day 60 24th January, 2012

I was so puzzled when a package arrived for me today marked FRAGILE as I couldn’t think of anything I’d ordered any time recently. When I opened it, it was a letter from the NHS giving me details of my CT scan along with two small glass vials of fluid I have to drink the night before, and morning of, the scan.
So… my big CT scan appointment is Friday 17th of February @ 8.45am
The hope with this scan is that the swollen lymph nodes have gone back to normal. If you want to, you can join me in praying that the cancer is all gone and the lymph nodes are back to their normal size.
Today, overall was a good day. Although… I’m not the antibiotics I’m on. They have a warning on the bottle that you can’t have milk or dairy products for 2 hrs before or after you take the pills (it stops them from working?!). The worst thing about this is that I’ve to take the pills at 8am and 10pm. So… no milk/dairy 6-10am or 8-12pm. Now… if you’ve been around me any length of time you know that I drink about a Gallon of milk a day, and much of that is at breakfast time and before bed. So the key times I’m reaching for the milk carton… I can’t have it. (Actually, last night I woke up about 4am just to go and down a pint of milk. It’s like an addiction!) The course of antibiotics is only 5 days so I’ll cope… but man, I hate not being able to drink milk!
Mooo…just think of the poor cow!
Almond? Coconut? Soy? No real substitute, but maybe worth a try!
