Back to the Glow Farm - MUGA Test

It's Janet.
Tuesday, 2/3, I was back at Nuclear Medicine for another visit. This time they were checking my heart. Instead of directly injecting the radioactive substance into me like my last visit, they withdrew blood, mixed it with the radioactive stuff, and then reinjected the blood into me. Not so bad. Then they took pictures. It was really cool to see your own heart beating on the computer screen. Good news for me, I passed the test. This means that my heart can withstand the chemo treatments. I had the same young lady as last time and she informed me that I might have to visit her again throughout treatment. Always good to know that the doctors want to make sure your heart can handle the medicines! Next it is off to surgery #2 for an IV port.
