Survived drinking the Barium (barely) and the CT Scan itself this morning. It was interesting to have someone follow me around with a camera and film the entire thing, hospital gown and all! It's amazing how fast and painless it all is, considering the hardest part is drinking that CRAP!
My Writing Group is being filmed for part in a documentary and the cameraman asked if he could follow me and my life outside of the workshop. So today he met me and followed the CT process. He's also going to accompany me to my "Making Today Count" Women Living with Stage 4 Metastatic Cancer support group (if the girls agree upon it) and to my first meeting with my Oregon Health and Sciences University medical student for the Living with Life Threatening Disease course for 1st and 2nd year students in which I am a patient teacher for (3rd time in a row now!). He also wants to film me with my family so I thought we'd meet him at the dog park one day. Whatever I can do to give back, I like to do. And if I can make someone elses journey easier or better, I'm all for it. I'm happy to be the posterchild! Autographs anyone? LOL
Just waiting to hear from my doctor on the results of the CT scan. Hoping for the best. Will let you all know asap.
Enjoy your Tuesdays!
Time for my nap!

Wow, aren't you living life to its fullest!! I'm so proud of you for putting yourself first, checking out for a few days, meeting new people, making their day special just by meeting you... And now you're subject of a documentary. You are such an inspiration to me, Shauna.
Keeping it all crossed for you.
