Tests, Tests, Tests
This week is all about tests. I have received four approvals for the scans ordered by my medical oncologist. Tomorrow I start at 9:30 with an injection, and then I run down Brookline Ave to drink a nasty solution. An hour after drinking, I will have my CT scan. There will be some time to kill, but I will now need to drink water, before we head back to the first area for the bone scan. All told, we should be at the hospital for about 4 and half hours.
My Dad had a CT scan this year. He recommends sleeping during the test. He did, and didn't feel claustrophobic even a little bit!
Thursday I return to the hospital for the MUGA scan. Three tests a week seems like enough to me!

I never found a CT scan to be at all claustrophobic, so hope it will be comfortable for you. Not a thing to be done about that godawful stuff they make you drink, though. Yuck!
All the best for your long day.
