What Is PET Scan ?

A PET scan (positron emission tomography) is a type of imaging test that uses a radioactive tracer to look for changes in the function of cells and tissues. A tracer is a substance that is introduced into the body to make it easier to see certain areas or organs. The radioactive tracer used in PET scans emits positrons, which are tiny particles that collide with electrons in the body. This creates gamma rays that can be detected by a scanner and used to create images of the inside of the body. PET scans are often used to diagnose cancer because tumor cells typically have higher levels of activity than normal cells. They can also be used to check for treatment response, measure tumor size, and identify new tumors.

I dunno if this has been asked yet, but what is the wasting disease condition based on?

Just curious.

Things like cancer, diabetes, and terminal illnesses. Basically, any illness that would cause the cat to become weak and eventually die, but that the cats wouldn't have proper medical technology/understanding to actually identify and treat. Thus the cats put it in the category of "wasting disease" because the affected cats seem to just waste away.

Anybody else been having the weird experience of realizing that you will die eventually and you will never know if we make it out of climate disaster? If we actually do space travel? If the world falls apart?

You realize that. That you’ll never see the year 2424. That your existence is so insignificant and you will never know the ending.

That you will have an ending and you have no idea what’s happening after. To humanity/earth. But also to you and your tiny little consciousness.

That there’s a time where you’ll cease to exist.

And then you can feel your teeth and taste metal and have to actively not let yourself hyperventilate?

CAUSE IVE BEEN HAVING THOSE FUN MOMENTS ABOUT 3-5 TIMES A WEEK. AND I FEEL LIKE IM LOSING MY MIND.

today is my daughter's birthday, she's 8 and I honestly can't believe it she's growing up so fast 😭😭 she's my whole world, she and my husband, and I'm so grateful I was able to have her before I was diagnosed with cancer because I couldn't have anymore children due to the chemotherapy so I'm so lucky I could have her before that happened! she was born two months early and I was scared for weeks afterwards but It's been the best thing I ever did, having her!!! can't believe she's 8 already that's just unreal lol

That heart stopping moment your doctor puts down a certain type of cancer screening on your pathology request, and you brush it off as him just wanting to rule it out until you Google the symptoms and they sound scarily familiar... 😓😓😓
