Drove dad to get his PET scan today. It turned out to be a long day but thankfully dad was quite stable all day. He was in high spirits throughout the drive.
Just in case I didn’t elaborate on what a PET scan was, here’s a little explanation on Wikipedia.

Hopefully we should have the results back by Thursday.
In addition to this, I was hunting around the web for any possible cases of Knee replacement surgery carried out on lung cancer sufferers and came across this article.

This got me thinking, what if there really is a link between arthritis of the knee and non-small cell lung cancer. I guess it’s not something we would have known and there’s no point dwelling on what we ’should have done’ in the past.
