CT of chest done

Wow!! Ct scans are sooooooo much faster than MRI's. I HATE the contrast they used for it though. Made me feel suddenly hot and like my tongue got hot too. Very weird and disturbing sensations, but he told me of those effects before they started so I was not worried. The Ct scan pictures are much harder for a lay person to interpret, but I think I can "see" what they are talking about with this mass. You would think that looking at the lungs that you have lung cancer too, but checking the Internet for other scans to compare to and I "think" that is the way lungs look normally. ( I hope hehehe)

I used this rainy day to stay in be until almost 11 am but have to say that staying in bed that late didn't make me feel very good. By the time I got up I was hungry but couldn't eat because with a ct scan you can't eat three hours before the test. So I felt pretty cruddy most of the day from hunger.
