More Tests Tomorrow!

O.K., so tomorrow at 9:00 a.m., I go to Jameson Hospital for an Esophageal Transit Study & Gastic Emptying Scan. I think I swallow some sort of radioactive substance & they fluoro as I swallow. I am not researching this too much- don't want to know-sometimes ignorance is bliss. They have to check my esophagus which has decided to act up a bit due to the scleroderma. What's one more little bump in the road? Anyway, if I can get this MRI of the brain done sooner & the medical oncologist gets everything in order...there is a possibility of starting Rx this Wednesday. This will consist of the radiation therapist doing a confirmatory simulation which entails obtaining films for the radiation oncologist to verify accurate set up. Once these films are approved by the Dr., the first Rx will begin. I don't know too much about chemo yet, I go to him on Tuesday. Isn't it amazing how life changes make you an expert on things you never thought you would need to know? Linda
