CAT Scan Today
Today I had my CAT scan. The scan itself is pretty easy. Last time I had one I had to drink about 2 liters of liquid first and then have the test, but this time I didn't as they were only scanning my abdomen and chest. They do have to set up an IV though and briefly give you some kind of stuff that makes you feel warm all over and feel like you have to pee. The entire scan takes about 10-15 minutes. I am pretty freaked out about waiting for the results. I have no idea what the results will be. Sometimes I am so positive and other times I am not so positive. The results of this test and my bone scan on Monday will tell a lot. Either the chemo is working and my body is fighting this or it is not working...and I'm not sure how I will deal with this. I am told that I am undergoing "aggressive treatment", so if I am not responding to aggressive treatment it is hard to optimistic. I am not sure exactly when I will get the results. I have appointment on June 22 so I suspect I will find out then....how I will fill my time and distract myself until then I have no idea. I suspect the next few weeks will be filled with ups and downs as I wait.
