Me the Christmas tree?

Tomorrow I'm going to Sussex University for a PET scan.

For those that don't know this involves being filled with a radioactive Glucose solution then i'll be put under a CT scanner.

Since some cancers like to take up the Glucose solution they'll show up on the scan as a glowing area.

This is in order to find out if I have tumours growing anywhere else on my body.

If I do I'll look like a Christmas tree on the scan.

Nervous or what?
