The past week or so I've been feeling sicker than usual so I had to get another CAT scan, this time of the chest and abdomin to check if any small tumor or cancer cells formed. My Dr. was worried since I've been having a lot of pain in my lower lat that spreads around to the front of my stomach to the top of my left trap. Also, my coughing has increased along with daily nausea, vomiting for no apparent reason and minor headaches.
It was around 4 pm when my Dr. told me he wanted the test done today and I had nothing to eat so I was starving. And, they didn't know when I would be able to get the test done. 2 hours later at 6 pm my contrast comes and he said I had to drink at least half so the results would show better details of my organs and they would be able to get a better reading. So I drank the clear contrast which wasn't so bad, definitely not as bad as the barium that I had to drink prior to my first open heart surgery. And I was able to down it without any problems. Around 7 they drew more blood with a hep lock since I didn't want to have to get stuck twice. And I thought it would make more sense since they were going to have to put an iv in me anyways. The CAT scan went fine and then it was just waiting for the results.
