Three Little Birds

This is the song I hum in my head while being scanned. I do this to overcome my claustrophobia in radiology. Written by Bob Marley, the birds sing that everything is going to be alright. My November CT went okay. The shadow on my remaining kidney bothers me but the doctor doesn't seemed worried. Blood and urine tests are okay. I now remind the radiologist technician that I only have one kidney left and ask could he please inject the lowest possible dose of the contrast. He said he would but I wonder if he really does. I get very nervous right before each CT scan and this nervousness always prompts me to write letters to more doctors. No new news. I plan to write them annually reminding them of this rare cancer population, specifically asking them about advances in ADRENAL CANCER medicine. Back in November I worked on the web page. I haven't been working on it as much as I should. Not at all.

Archives: I'll be archiving this day to day journal soon, by year category. Hopefully I can do this by the end of the year. I'm taking a web design class so maybe I'll have insight to a better improved web page. Currently thinking of my own domain name instead of this geocities page. Any ideas? cureacc.com adrenalgirl.com stillbreathing.com
