I’m trying to. But it hurts my head.

Getting to the point my gamma radiation accident is going to turn me green.

My doctor is sending me for a PET/CT scan. The stuff they inject via IV is a gamma radiation emitting labeled sugar that concentrates in cells with high sugar uptake e.g. cancer cells. The gamma emissions annihilate an electron resulting in a positron emission. The CT is done concurrently to ensure spatial integrity of the detected positron emissions. Hoping I don't turn green or Stage IV when it's over.
