Hey guys,

Well I delayed it by a week but the scan is tomorrow and I'm really scared, could you let me know what to expect please? I will be driving just over an hour there and back.

I feel like this could be the end of life as I know it....or, I guess, there is a chance it could be good news.

Please no nasty comments. I've just about recovered enough from the last one.

    hi laineee  think your been a bit dramatic.  we all have to go though it. i have one every 3 months see how i am doing. maybe think you should have someone with you if you feel so vulnerable   tc  over in no time. you will feel a hot flush though your body when they put the dye in. doesn't hurt if you are traveling back on your own i think you need give it a hr break first.

    I'm sorry you find my fear dramatic...time to delete this account. I have never had a CT scan before, nor have I had cancer. All the best.

    Laineee  they must of gave you sheet with what to expect on your CT with contrast.  ?                                     Contrast material. A special dye called contrast material is needed for some CTscans to help highlight the areas of your body being examined. The contrastmaterial blocks X-rays and appears white on images, which can help emphasize blood vessels, intestines or other structures.
