I was to arrive by 10:20 but got there a few minutes early and someone else was running late. Signed in, went potty, got my IV inserted, had my with and w/o contrast CT Scans, drank my water and was leaving the place by 10:45.

I was a little anxious this morning because I drank the first half of the icky poo last night and it made me queasy. I didn't have that problem with the 2nd half. Whew.

Heading out to pan for gold!

    Glad it's done
    Sounds like it wasn't a completely horrible experience, and you had time to spare to do something fun. Now you just have to anticipate the wonderful results. Praying for you, dear.

    *hugs*

    It really helps when CT scan goes smoothly. My previous one I had to be stuck 5 times to get IV started! This last time she got it 1st time. Have fun with gold panning. Ann

    fast
    CT scans used to take ages. Now it is all wizz-bang and you are done. Glad it was short for you - who needs the stress of hanging around a lab?
    Have fun panning for gold! Maybe you will get rich, but it seems to me more like playing the lottery, but if you have fun - yeah - who cares, it is just time.

    My husband had his CT scan on Monday after six months of chemo. They said it was clean. We are waiting for the CEA results. Don't know how these coordinate with them scan.

    CEA result great
    We learned today the CEA was 2.4, NORMAL. So, he is cancer-free. It can be done! I'll be thinking of you all and wishing you the best. Tests in 3-4 months. Guess it always hangs over your head. But, this is a happy day.
