And I did have a bit of a scare. voice-verified

So I had the scan. voice-verified

And I asked the radiation tech if I could see the scan. voice-verified

And the radiation tech said, sure, but you understand that I can't consult with you on it. voice-verified

I'm not a radiologist. voice-verified

And so if you see anything you have questions about, I can't tell you anything about it. voice-verified

Now, I'd seen a few of my scans before, kind of had a sense of what I was looking for, little white dots that would indicate tumors. voice-verified

And there were no little white dots. voice-verified

Instead, there were pie plate sized white disks over my heart and my bladder. voice-verified

And I asked the radiation tech, is that what I think that is? voice-verified

And he said, I can't discuss this with you. voice-verified

You will have to wait for the radiologist who will take no more than four business days to get back to you. voice-verified

And so I walked out of there thinking that I had massive tumors in my bladder and in the middle of my chest. voice-verified

It turns out that they were just ghosts on the scan. voice-verified

The way that those PET scans work is you get infused with radioactive glucose while you're in a fasting state and they let you sit for a bit and your hungry cells take up that glucose. voice-verified

And of course, the highest metabolism cells are the cancer cells. voice-verified

And so they fluoresce when they put you through the PET scanner that detects the radiation. voice-verified

And in this case, I think I just needed a pee and maybe my heart was beating a little fast because I was nervous. voice-verified

And so those were Phantoms and I Am Cancer Free, but it was a tough couple of hours. voice-verified

So from there, I went straight into the book tour for Reverse Centaur's Guide to Life After AI, a series of sold out events across America. voice-verified
