Love Letter to Life 11.03.2026 Fast Day

November 3, 2026 | Pamela Markoya

Dear Life, I have a PetScan tomorrow at 7:30am. Today I fast: no carbs, no sugar, and no food after 6:00pm. Of course this instantly kicks up the desire to eat everything that falls into the food groups of bread, pasta, and desserts. I am allergic to iodine so cannot drink the contrast dye. I receive an IV injection of chemicals and sit in a dark room for an hour while IV moves through my body. Then into the tube. Hope to have results by Friday. Alas, I am eating rose petals!
Yours Truly, Pamela

Dear Life, I was up at 6:30am and scraping ice off windshield. After a 14 minute drive, I was at Xray Associates where I laid still in a dark room with intravenous dye injection for an hour. Then at 8:30am, into the tube for the PetScan. Report will hopefully be ready by Friday. I have bloodwork and see oncologist on Tuesday. Hightailed it home for coffee and breakfast. Now go to campus studio for a few hours. Feels good to have scan behind me.
