CTscan today - wish me luck - UPDATE

I'm having my 6 month ctscan today.  I am anxious and welcome good wishes from all.  Hopefully the scan will be clear.  (Unfortunately last one showed a lung nodule which was taken care of surgically.)  Unfortunately, I'm not too hopeful.  However, if all is clear, I graduate to 1 year scans.  Yeah! 

By the way, the imaging team and I have come up with some techniques to avoid some problems I had with my first scans.  Since the solution moves slowly through my body (partly due to CRC, partly due to my body), I take most of the solution the night before.  It's helped a lot.  What used to be a 24+ hour process is now down to a more manageable day-long process.  Also I've learned to drink a lot of water and walk a lot prior to the test.  I hope these tips help others having the same issues. 

This scan is very important to me in terms of my lifestyle.  If it's clear, I will actively look for a part-time job in Milwaukee, where my husband lives.  We've lived apart for 5 years.  I've stayed in my present position throughout my diagnosis and treatment because we were going through a building plan at work.  It's taking too long and I'm ready to move on to a less-stressful part-time job in Milwaukee or even Chicago.  Also, if it's clear I can enjoy my bucket list trip to Paris and my son's upcoming wedding in September.  Although I try not to let my cancer diagnosis completely affect my life, the scans do bring home my situation.  I know I'm one of the lucky ones.  Thanks for taking the time to read this.  I don't usually write such long posts. 

Best wishes to you all! 

ALL CLEAR - YAHOO!
