don't know date but in between,
So apparently one of the reasons why the surgeon couldn't perform the surgery on the appointed date was because he was busy with too many surgeries and I think he wanted me to get another scan to see my body and if the cancer had spread to my testicles or brain because he said thats common with this type of tumor. Thank god nothing metastasized because I probably wouldn't be typing right now and would be going through extreme chemo therapy now or something even worse with more surgeries.
My dad drives me to this really nice Dr. office brand new with all glass windows multiple floors making it a big building and lots of nice cars parked outside. This gave me a little more confidence about Dr. #@$%$$ however little did I know I wasn't going to see him today and it was just a scan that he wanted done to double check everything before the surgery and I guess make sure nothing else was there.
When he dropped me off the inside was filled with wooden cabinets and looked brand new as I took the elevator to the right floor I was a little anxious about this whole thing. Not the test but the actual surgery that this was real and it kind of hit me then that I was actually have to go through this.
As I waited in the waiting room I found out that I had to drink this stuff called Barium so the radiologist can better see my organs and the inside. it was a pretty tall bottle that looked like it held a pretty thick liquid and having a bodybuilder mentality I kinda just thought taste doesn't matter I've definitely had worse protein this should be nothing.
The initial swallow wasn't bad, my flavor was dark mocha however, at the end of the sip there was this weird bite to it that made it taste disgusting. So I was suppose to drink 2 full ones but the radiologist in the back said 3/4 of one should be fine. "Honestly what a relief". Because I seriously almost gagged and threw up on that shit multiple times. I'd highly recommend asking to use water instead of Barium for the scan if possible.
