What its like: A radio-active injection followed by CT Scan, inside the trailer of a lorry.What they look for: Cancer spread affecting lymph nodes.
What they found: No evidence of cancerous activity in lymph nodes. Good news.
Although the radio-active glucose had a half-life of 120 mins, i was considered a hazard to children and pregnant women for 6 hrs after the scan, so i stayed with my parents that night.
About the lorry.. apparently these scanners cost so much, that hospitals share the cost by hiring the scanner (lorry and driver) for a day a week.
