Getting annother CT scan

cindy12345678 posted:

Hi Ladies,
Just an update. I go Monday morning for a second CT scan.
At my 6 mo. CT they saw a spot on my lung. So now at 3 mo.
I have to get scanned again. I hope it turns out to nothing, no
change or not there. I still hate drinking that stuff, but I guess
we need to find out. I see my Onc on the next Monday for
results and blood work.
So wish me luck ladies!
Cindy

You know, I hope, that we will all be aboard Pinkie to escort you on Monday...and, as you have to wait a week before getting a report, we may just buzz about all over during the waiting time!

Any destinations you particularly would like to visit???

Know, also, we will hold you in our hearts for a good report!

Blessings.

Cindy - good luck with your CT on Monday. I hope everything comes back clear.

I have a PET/CT on Monday also. This is the 4th one I've had, and I've never had to drink the contrast. I wonder if it's a difference in type of machine.

Good luck!!!

Hey, Michelle, we'll spin past your place to escort you as well. No drinks served at your scan facility? Hecks, we can set you up with Margueritas or Manhattans or any kind of cocktail you wish.

Cindy, we'll save one for you for after your scan so that you can wash away any bad taste. Okay?

Blessings and good reports!

Michelle and Rachael,
Thanks ladies! Michelle , love your hair. My scan is just
a ct scan.From my chin to my knees. They will also
inject contract during the test. The pet scan I have had in
the past. is an injection before then you wait an hour
then have your scan.
Thanks for picking me up! A margarita would be great!
It will take the edge off of the waiting! LOL
Good luck with your scan Michelle! We both need good
reports!
Love and hugs,
Cindy

I'd like some Absolut mandarin vodka (or Ruby Red) with club soda and a splash of Sprite Zero, please! That's my summer equivalent of a gin or vodka tonic. I'm not fond of gin nor tonic, but the above concoction is quite refreshing, especially with a slice of orange and lime! But if you're whipping up a pitcher of margaritas, yeah...I'll gladly take that! Served up by some handsome cabana boys, of course!

And thanks, Cindy! My crazy chemo curl seems to respond favorably to a big fat round brush!

Cindy, I am glad that is over for you. I can't believe you have to wait a week to get results. UNFAIR!!! Are you sure you can't call in and get a preliminary results tomorrow? I never could wait a whole week. UGH. and double UGH.

So the cabana boys were really some handsome Dudes, Right? Plus in our age group and not these super Young things. Like my Lung Dr. LOL LOL.

You know as I was listening to my I-Pod all week-end, it occurred to me---My Lung Dr is too young to even remember Elivis????? How UNreal is that?????? LOL Boy, oh boy that got me to laughing so hard. LOL.

So now enjoy the rest of your day. Sending good thoughts it will be clean, clear, and pretty pink lungs.

cindy12345678 replied to GGrandmaJan's response:

Jan,
Yes the cabana boys were of all ages. They were all
handsome! Your lung doctor must be really young not to
remember Elvis!
I don't know if I can get the results for at least a few days.
She has called me before if she gets the results. It's hard
to get a hold of anyone there. You get voicemail and
maybe they call you back. They have other numbers for
emergency. I have the appointment on Monday unless
they call me before. I don't like the waiting either. I can
get blood test results on line but not the ct.
I am hoping for the best. I feel good.
I hope Michelle has a good result too.
Thanks for hanging with me!Now off to my sewing club!
Have you been quilting? I am a beginer with the quilting.
I am learning though. You have a great day too!
Cindy

mhall6252 replied to cindy12345678's response:

Now that's the way to travel! Ice cold cocktails, cabana boys, friends to keep you company...could it get any better? Well, only if the results come back good.

I send my MO an email, said that I had the PET/CT and I would be looking for an email from her tomorrow with results. I looked at the scans...I'm no radiologist but there were plenty of areas that sucked up that glucose. I suspect I'll hear that this will be the baseline scan, we'll continue with the Xeloda, and scan again after three more cycles. If it's no worse than this, I guess I'll be satisfied. I did have a few weeks with no treatment.

Let's see how I do at playing radiology oncologist!
