Water!
Good Morning, Lance,
I had my CT on Monday and was told to drink larger amounts of fluid than usual. I think the idea is to flush all of that "yummy" contrast out of our system. Maybe that's the culprit.
I hope you feel better soon. Also, worrying about the results isn't condusive to a settled stomach. Please, think about calling the oncologist's office. Two weeks is too long to wait!
Sending you my best.
Hugs,

I do, too....
I even made the 'mistake' of putting that on my last CT intake form...and almost messed it up, even after drinking the redi-cat. The tech wanted me to have pre-meds (which I didn't).
Luckily, we chatted about what the symptoms were, and how long she had been scanning me (she had seen me many times before). So, we scribbled off the comment I had made.
But I agree with the water...if I don't, I'm feeling flu-ish the next day...
Isn't it wierd to have a reaction that is considered 'normal', even in it's 'abnormal' situation (cancer treatment)?
Hugs, Kathi
