August 23,2015/Sunday
I am a Radiologic Technologist with a specialty license in Mammography. I know what other modalities in the Radiologic Sciences do, but up until now I have not needed them. When I was given my packet of paperwork for PET/CT, in it was my clear instructions for my diet the day before my scan. High protein, NO sugar at all!!! They really stressed the NO SUGAR part. Think about it…….no sugar, means no carbs……carbs that are not burned up by exercise turn into sugar….I got this! The radioactive material injected goes to the area of high sugar, a cancer will attract the isotope. I was told by a friend that you don’t want your scan to light up like a Christmas tree!!!! Please lord, don’ let it light up!
My cousin Carmen had us over for a lovely meal. My eldest sister brought my mother over so I was able to spend a little more time with her before heading back to Maui. No food after 8pm!!!…….Tomorrow I will find out if this beast inside me has traveled past my lymph nodes to other organs in my body.

Here is a book I think you might find helpful. CANCER loves sugar. I have been following Season Johnson on Facebook “kickercancer”. Her son has cancer and is doing well because of diet changes and detoxing. It may be something you want to look up. Then I saw this book it has some of the same ideas. “After cancer care” I am sending you much love. I’m praying for you every day. Stay strong my friend. Terri
