Double duty chemo/scan

Since both Dr. Im (chemo) and Dr. Polito (pulmonary) requested CT scans, Terri arranged that I get blood drawn for labs in Outpatient Chemotherapy (OPC) on my regularly scheduled Thursday (5/28) and then head to Mercy's CT scan unit. I had to drink contrast in orange juice, 4 cups spaced 20 minutes apart, before the scan which took from 11 am to 1 pm. When I got back to OPC, nurse Joanne had my Taxol (chemo) and magnesium bags waiting for me. Massage therapist Mia Harper treated me to a foot massage. Knowledgeable in massage for chemo patients, she lives in not too far from me so plan to avail myself of her services outside the OPC. Lunch arrived at 2 pm and I was out of Weinberg before Baltimore's rush hour traffic. Looking forward to a 3/4 hour massage scheduled with Mia in Annapolis during lunch on Monday.
