Right, I’m really scared. Will I be spared for another six months or has my luck finally run out? Also, the PET scan is in a different place this time, so no Team there, nothing familiar. I’m not even sure where it is, so will take a taxi. I think María Paz is coming with me but she has a bad cold and might not be able to make it, and Peter is working, so I might end up going all alone. But at least I’ll know that my Home Team will be here waiting for me.
See you on the other side…

Luck and love, Shawn.

I’m now officially radioactive! In the chair waiting to go into the machine. And Ricardo is here!!! That makes me feel so much better.
Also Maria Paz came with me, which is great for me but means lots of waiting around for her. After my first run through the machine we’ll go for coffee and then see if l have to go through again.
Thanks for being here, guys!

Were your ears burning? Ma Paz and I were talking about you. Here’s a great pic I took of her on the walk back “into town”… http://twitpic.com/8h6zbb

Not a day goes by without a thought of all of you. Nice pic, although it looks like the statue is giving birth! Anyway, here’s hoping and I wish you all of the very best. Off to work! 🙂

So… the doctor on duty there wasn’t going to give me any info until I told him that Ricardo said he was going to. I’m telling you, it was so reassuring to see Ricardo there this morning, even though he was only there for about half an hour. And so the doctor told me “Well, I didn’t see anything, but I’ll have another look tomorrow before I write my report”. Which to me means… nothing. I just hope that this isn’t the standard answer they give everyone, though I reckon that answer would be that they don’t give out results there and that people have to wait to hear from their own doctors. Anyhow, have also texted Ricardo to ask if he can check on that for me tomorrow…
But so far it’s looking good. Especially as they didn’t put me through the machine twice, which they have almost always done in the past. In some ways this other location is better in that it ISN’T A HOSPITAL. Though walking into the “Centro Nacional de Acceladores” I tweeted that I hoped they didn’t put me into the wrong machine! http://twitpic.com/8h5owr
Afterwards María Paz and I walked home through the Cartuja (the old 1992 Expo site) and we both discovered places we didn’t know existed. Then once back to “civilisation” we stopped for a celebratory glass of wine and now here I am. Back at home and getting ready for my weekly class with Agustín and then… a tapas tour! Haven’t had one of those in ages. Quite looking forward to it.
Thanks again for all your good wishes. You guys are the greatest!

Oops… I thought I commented, but found my unfinished comment in another window. Anyhow, I was thinking of you, too, and will continue to keep fingers and whatnot crossed for a positive full report.

No word yet, so I’ll get in touch with the Team tomorrow so that I don’t have to wait over the weekend. Hate not knowing…
