Lung Nodules
Oct. 23rd, 2002 12:48 amI've been having a fuck of a couple of weeks. I had my CT scan done the 16th., which went very, very poorly. They shuffled Steve out of the room when they were going to put my IV line in and I, in my mostly sedated state, panicked and started crying and whimpering. They also didn't warn me before they put the contrast dye in (it burns and makes you feel like you're peeing yourself) and I tweaked. Evidently, I could be heard screaming all the way down the hall. They gave Steve a sticker for me, though, despite how badly I behaved. Yay!
I had six more vials of blood taken on Friday, which was not a lot of fun, either, though I was good for that. I was out of it to the point that I just asked if they were done a couple times. I did pass out on the way out, on crutches. I got free juice out of that misadventure.
Anyhow, the good news is that my WBC is leveling off; my platelets are still high. My oncologist wants some other kind blood test done involving those. I need to schedule an early morning appointment so the blood can be couriered into Boston.
Unfortunately, the bad news is that the CT scanned turned up a 7mm solitary pulmonary nodule on, I think, my left lung. This is what came back when I searched for the lung thing.
Because I'm tired, this is the next test I'm having done on Nov. 12th., at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute.
I'm going to try and update more. Potentially, I want to scan my CT scans and post them here. Email me if you know whether or not that would hurt the xrays.
