Hi Allan
I had my SPECT scan last week and it was quite a process. I had to lie in a room for 30 minutes and then they crept in and injected me with a radioactive tracer and then left the room again without talking to me and came back for me another 30 mins later. Apparently they need you to keep your brain as quiet as possible so the fluid can reach as many places as possible. The scan was quick and easy but I have not got the results yet.
You mentioned that you had two scans taken a year apart, did they show areas of your brain that were affected? I had an MRI a year ago and it showed nothing abnormal but I am told that this happens often in the early stages.
The weather must be starting to cool down on your side of the world. We are just starting the see the first signs of spring with blossoms appearing and its quite lovely.
