3 month CT Scan

It has been 3 months since I have last had a CT scan.

To refresh everyone's memory, I was suppose to have a CT scan of my abdomen and pelvis on October 31 -- Happy Halloween!!!-- Trick or Treat!! Well instead of getting a treat on Halloween, I got a trick! The radiologist who was overseeing my scan on Halloween choose not to do my pelvis scan.... Long story short, I was told to wait 3 months to get another scan. Once I have the final scan, I would be able to figure out my treatment.

So today is January 8th. My appointment was at 9:30am.
Driving to the hospital today, I was under a calm stress (i know that it an oxymoron, but it is true.) When I got to the Radiology Department at UC Davis, I was introduced to Piper, my nurse. Piper was a very kind lady who was very helpful. She prepped me for my scan (gown, IV, contrast, etc)

Pam was my radiologist. Pam was also very kind, understanding and thorough. I requested to see my orders before we started the scan. I explained my history with the Radiology Department to both women... they could not believe the issues I have encountered. Once reviewing my orders (a scan of my abdomen and pelvis) we started the scan -- first without contrast (both of the abdomen and then the pelvic area). Then a scan in both areas with contrast.

I was informed after the scan that would have the results within 24 hours!

So now it is just after midnight.
I am worried about meeting with Dr. Tanaka tomorrow at 4pm.
That meeting will change my life. Its scary

It is odd that one meeting with a doctor could change my entire world.
Regardless of the information, positive thoughts will get me through...But its hard!

Until then.......
