I went to my CT Scan on Wednesday 9.30.09 and it wasn't as awful as I was told or had imagined it. I had to drink this stuff that was for the contrast. I was told it was to taste like shit. lol. Straight up. I cracked it just before bedtime on the 9.29.09 and it smelled more like oranges or tangerines. SO I imagined that I was drinking a orange creamsicle. Then I had to drink more of it when I was at the Imaging place. The lady doing the CT Scan was really nice and I was surprised that it was an actual pleasant experience even though I was scared out of my mind.

I expected to get my results in a few days so I relaxed most of yesterday. I had to evacuate the stuff and the dye out of my body before I would feel better. The worst part was what I felt like after I was out of there. I felt like hell. I slept most of the day away and drank sooo much water I almost didn't make it to the bathroom in time.

This morning I get a phone call at 830am and it was my doctor instructing the receptionist to have me come in as soon as I can to discuss the results of the test.

I am freaking out at this point. I did not even have the CT Scan and the contents of my body completely drained before they called me having the results. I was so scared. I agreed to come in and made it there before 930am. I sat in the conference room waiting for the Dr. to finish with another patient. She came in with my chart and looked kind of stern. I was expecting the absolute worst thing that could have been possible.

She says, "You have a cyst and its 12cm and it needs to be removed." So she went on to say that it is a large dermoid cyst and that it is non Cancerous and that otherwise I am completly healthy. So she scheduled me with another doctor whose name incidentally is Dr. Wilson and we are going to meet with him to discuss surgery and other plan of action.

Thank God!

Gram I miss you so much!!!

So this is good news and hopefully it continues to be good news...
