First was the bone scan, as that’s often the first place cancer travels after it metastasizes from the lymph nodes. Then 2 MRI breast biopsies, two more CTs - abdomen, lungs - and another CT days later after I feel shortness of breath and pain following my port-implant surgery. Nope, not a clot. Just Cancer-Related Acute Panic, Obvi™. One last PET scan (just to be sure it’s not in my brain, of course!) and I’m just a few roentgens away from developing a Chernobyl-like glow.

On a positive note, it was a relief to see Bob looked rather contained. No brain spots. No liver spots. The doctors spotted a few indeterminate lesions on my pelvis and a small nodule on my lung but “nothing suspicious.” Follow-up in September post chemo. TBD.

Needless to say, the process has been eye opening. We can spit in a test tube and sequence DNA, but finding cancer is still just as good as “feeling for a lump” unless you spot it early with a scan. And the only difference between remission and reoccurrence is (you guessed it) ....a scan. After spending the last three years immersed in AI and neurotech, I guess I expected cancer detection to be a bit more....I don’t know, precise? Alas.

Thankfully my insurance has picked up the majority of the ridiculous diagnostic bills (you don’t want to know); and all the thoughts, prayers, trinkets, meditations, pragmatic advice, stories and other forms of spiritual/non-spiritual currency from friends & internet friends alike are accepted whole-heartedly and with deep gratitude...

Oh! Swipe right to see Bob in all his glowing glory. Does he deserve a 🧐🤓🥺🤯 😘👌or 🖕😁? Sticks and stones may break your bones, but scans will never... #her2positive #her2 #breastcancer #breastcancercare #her2positivebreastcancer
