metaiodobenzylguanidine scintigraphy

So, this is the official name of what Sarah is getting today. MIBG for short. I've incorrectly called it the MIGB test on previous post, but oh well. Either one is easier to say than "metaiodobenzylguanidine scintigraphy". Today, they inject the radioactive stuff into her blood stream, and tomorrow, she will be put under and scanned to see if the radioactive isotopes have latched onto any remaining cancerous cells. Obviously, our prayer is that this test comes back negative.
