Cheers!

This my friends is the Barium I'm required to drink before my CT and PET scans (1 of several glasses).  It's a contrast agent used to highlight specific parts of the body and make them easier to see... it temporarily changes the way x-rays or other imaging tools interact with your body.  I can't say it's pleasant to drink, but I guess I've had enough scans that I'm used to it.  Of course I think the umbrella helps... makes me feel like I'm drinking a pina colada on a beach somewhere.  I left the package of umbrella's w/ the receptionist at Tx Oncology hoping I'd get a smile out of the next person that came in dreading the milky white substance.  Fingers crossed it did!  I tell ya... it's the little things! 

 

So Cheers!  Cheers to kickin' cancer's ass!
