No mass in my lower abdomen as indiciated by CI scan performed at Corona Regional... Spent 7 hours

It's me VickiSam .. I thought I was having a heart attack yesterday, rushed to local Community Hospital (in pain for over 4 hours, before deciding this was not normal) .. held captive for over 7 hours. EKG. Chest X-rays ...and CI scann performed - here I go again with the iodine .. At7:30 p.m. last night my hubby and I were told that I had a mass in my lower abdomen - as indicated by CI scan for upper chest (possible blood clod - no other explanation for my heart pain). I insisted on checking myself out .. cuz, I just went thru bone scan, MRI, CT scan on 9/11. I did not want to subject myself to anymore testing and I knew I had a 9:00 a.m. chemo and onc appointment today .. so I made my own judgement call - I was leaving against ER doctors instructions. I did have to sign a waiver that I could possibilty died last night - sweet, right. My hubby was angy and confused, wanted me to stay the night @ Corona. No, I'm going home with or without you ..Pete. After 20 years of marriage, my husband knows me well enough to sit back and watch me the train wreck ..getting my way .. I was hell bent on leaving.

Didn't sleep well, serious worried about my heart .. along with MASS on abdomen

Tuesday, a.m. arrived early .. Asked to see Onc - asap .. Asked for results of St Joe's testing. .. Onc PA and onc rn .. ran around calling gathering results from 9/11 St Joe's testing & Corona Regional ..by 11:00 a.m. results are in:

NED .. bone scan
NED .. CT Scan
NED ..PEt SCan
NED .. MRI ..

Full lower abdomen physical performed .. NO MASS

I am so thankful for the findings .. and will make sure that if at any time I need to be seen at Emergency for anything assoicated with my bc .. I will make the hour plus trip down to Orange, Ca.

Hard lesson, learned.
