So it seems we are doing most of our cancer scans tomorrow.  We will do a MIBG, bone marrows and CT all under the same sedation. Very different than how we normally do it.  Because it will mean he will be sedated for three to four hours, they will be putting a breathing tube in.  George and I are definitely not happy about that, but if that's they way they have to do it, then we feel like we're backed into a corner if we want him screened for cancer.  Had we done this weeks ago as requested things would be much different and much more normal and familiar to us.  Big thanks to the nurse who couldn't get her ducks in a row and almost screwed us out of scans pre surgery all together (it would have been at least 6 weeks post op before we could do scans too).  This makes the second time she has fouled things up and the good doctor has had to swoop in and make things happen.  I'm just a little peeved with her right now and I think she knows it, because she hasn't been by to see us again or called.  I hate we have to do all of this before surgery.  I had hoped this could be a very pleasant-quiet- week.

Please pray the screening tomorrow goes safely...breathing tube and all.  And please pray for NED!
