Mmmmm.. more radiation...

Saw my new oncologist today. He's Latvian, and was amused that I can swear in Russian. We discussed my past and current issues, and he wants me to get a PET scan and another blood screen. The blood work I can do tomorrow around my dermatology appointment, I'll get a notice for the PET in a few days.

We had one awkward moment while waiting for the appointment. We were chatting with this lovely older couple, having a good time, a few laughs, when they asked where we went to church. We both babbled the usual "We're not religious, we're still looking, we're still waiting to hear from the divine" that we use in these situations (had Kirsten not been there, I might have said "The Islamic center downtown. There is no God but god, and Mohammoud is His Prophet.") and that seemed to back them off.

Here's hoping this was a transitory infection, and nothing more.
