Your CT Scan
HI LAURA,
I will be sending you good thoughts all day tomorrow.
E-mail me how it went...or post here. I know we are all
wanting to know how it went. I hope and pray for the best.
I have my CT scan in Feb because I had one in Nov.....I had a lipoma(nice name for fatty tissue tumor) on my right side /rib cage which they removed in Nov.2008 Biopsy showed no cancer and CA 125 stays at 8 I don't know what kind of OVCA that I had but will sure ask next time I see the Dr.
My prayers are for all,
Teal Hugs,Joan0 -

CT Scan
Dear Laura,
Good luck with your CT scan. I don't have a reaction to the IV, but I'm always worn out after a scan, and I wonder if others have that effect, also.
And, hopefully, that nodule on your lung will be even smaller!0 -

Hi Groundeffect.
I always feel drained and very tired but don't know if it is from the scan or from the anxiety. I do have alot of anxiety still. The bone scan I had wasn't as bad as the CT scan for some reason.

HI LAURA
I hope all goes well with your CT, Laura. I haven't had a reaction yet to the contrast (and I get triple contrast!), but I'm not fond of that warm, yucky feeling you get with it. Please let us know how it goes and about your results. And you are right - there are tons of options out there.
Take care.
Hugs & Prayers!

CT Scan
Hi Laura, Make sure you drink lots of water afterwards. I bring a bottle with so I can start drinking it right away to flush all the crap they give us for the scan out of my body.
As you can see we all got you covered in prayer and will be here waiting to read an update.

ct scan
Hi, Hope all will be good news :-) I too get a scan tomorrow, 1/20/08. It will be a PET/CT. My first since finishing chemo mid November. Kinda nervous, not about the procedure, but the 'what if ' they find something??? Supposedly all my cancer was 'out' at time of surgery. So I have continued to maintain that thought.
I hope you got all your pre meds before the ct, hives are not fun.
Isn't this a great place to check in on and catch up, and learn. Thank goodness for the internet....makes me feel not so lonely. Lets keep spreading the TEAL to everyone!!!!!!!!!!!! I might just have to get some braclets and hand them out....hmmm.
Love to you all, and please say a prayer for my friend Carlotta, who passed away just a week ago. She was so brave and had fought very hard, but was just too tired to carry on. Julie:-)0 -
Rash
I also get premedicated before the dye in CT scans. I have had so many that I now have to double the dose of benedry and take it 24 hours after. That keeps the rash down. They also make me sit there
with the IV needle for 30 min. after to make sure I don't have a larger reaction. My rash takes at least 12 hours to pop out. Saundra0 -

Hi all, I got the basics of my ct scan today it said a slight increase in the size of the mass and that other findings appear stable. it also called the tumor partly necrotic. I'm thinking that means part of it is dead but I have an e-mail in with more questions to my doctor. I think I am going to sleep well tonight thankyou for all the prayers. Laura0 -

Hi Laura, that sounds like great news, I am saying a prayer of thanks.
I love your picture and you have a great looking horse. I ride too, or did, not much anymore. But have had horses for years. We are now down to only two, the least I think I've had in 30 years. Anyway thanks so much for letting us know the results. Hugs ♥ Prayers Bonnie0 -
My CT Today
I had my scan today. Probably get results on if they have grown or what I need to do next. I am happy for you Laura. For the first time I took an anxiety pill and I breezed thru it better. Ct Scans aren't that bad but I for some reason have panic attacks sometimes. Anyway had scan on neck chest and abdomen. So will see.
Wish all of you well God Bless
Hugz and Prayers as always

The only problem I have with CT scans is the horrible liquid. I swear the styrafoam cups get larger and larger each time. I'm surprised I haven't been scheduled for one in over a year. But other than that, I have no problems at all with CT scans. Just thinking about it, I can taste it in my mouth.......0
