Gallium Scan

So had a gallium scan this morning. 2-1/2 hrs flat on my back. I was injected with the radioactive isotope gallium last Thursday and today they took pictures. I was able to listen to my ipod most of the time. The pod liked The Hip this morning (and is still loving them a bit much right now). I had it on shuffle which was putting me at its mercy as I couldn't move to skip songs :) The best song it played during the scan was Violent Femmes, Add it Up.....seemed appropriate as the machine spun around me taking picture slices of my body. CT scan tomorrow. Won't be as long as today though. The CT scan with the gallium scan will give a more complete picture (comparable to a PET scan) and will be used to stage it and will be the "before" picture once treatment starts.
