Evaluation Procedures- Bone Scan & MRI

On 8th July 2013, Aisy ade appointment to do a bone scan to see if the cancer has spread to his bones.. hati ni punya risau takyah cite la kan.. memang risau jer memanjang walaupun org tgk muka i relax jer.. mcm xde perasaan je kan.. but deep down inside only Allah and i know.. so if family or org lain nak kata i ni macam x kisah jer anak sakit.. or tak jaga anak betul2.. biarlah.. manusia mmg camtuh.. orang lain tak pernah betul di mata mereka.. yg penting pandangan Allah terhadap kita.. so anyway.. kitaorg register la for unit rawatan harian (URH).. so this is just to share with u guys about the procedures of bone scan and MRI kat IP HKL la.. so today bone scan, register..then masuk URH.. cucuk line kat tangan aisy.. pastuh nurse suruh naik shuttle van pergi ke jabatan radioterapi & onkologi.. okay.. so kami pun tunggu utk shuttle yg slalunya penuh la.. tapi takpelah..first time nak buat procedure yg kena keluar dari IP.. ok so xpe.. dah sampai sana.. bagi form.. tunggu diaorg panggil nama.. then bila dah panggil nama, pergi ke tempat menunggu kat area scan tuh.. okay.. so we waited until aisy’s name was called.. then the medical assistant kat situ inject aisy with a contrast.. pastuh dia kata kena tunggu 3 jam utk contrast tuh serap ke bones dia.. lahhh ye ke?? Lamanyer.. dah la aisy puasa.. confirm jap lagi ngamuk.. hadoi.. oklah 3 jam.. takkan nak tunggu je kat waiting area tuh kan? So we left and went jalan2 around that area.. after 3 hours, we came back.. aisy was given a sedative called chloral hydrate sbb taknak dia gerak during procedure.. so kena kasi tido la.. if children yg dah besar skit n boleh duduk diam, takyah lah sedative.. then the scanning takes about 20minutes.. parents boleh tunggu dlm bilik scan tuh.. then after that abis.. pulang ke URH.. cabut line.. and pulang!!

Then next day, 9th July 2013, aisy kena buat MRI plak.. so process is the same.. register.. tapi tak pegi URH..we went to our onco ward instead..sbb URH takleh buat petang or sumthing like dat la..i pun xtau nape.. cucuk line..then we travel to the jabatan pengimejan diagnostic or sumthing like that followed by two nurses and one doctor....then as usual..aisy has to puasa.. they gave him the same sedative tapi tak Jalan..so kena bagi sumthing stronger called midazolam i think.. then ayah dia bawak dia masuk to the MRI scanning room.. everything had to be taken out like watch, wallet, syiling and everything yg sewaktu dengannya.. i waited outside about 45minutes ke? I pun tak ingat.. byk sgt procedure sampai tak ingat yg mane, brape lama bagai.. so then dah abis.. as usual.. took a trip back to the ward.. cabut line.. and balik!! So this is our experience la doing all the procedures stated above.. so for the rest of the week, aisy boleh la rest at home before masuk balik hospital next week.. 😊
