Cancer update
23 September 2006: Had a day with my parents. Talked with my mum for most of the afternoon. Got some new bedding.
24 September 2006: Chilled at home
25 September 2006: CT Scan of my abdomen, chest, groin.
My mum came up and spent the day with me helping me through this, yay mum.
A CT Scanner is an upright white doughnut with a large bed which slides in and out of it.
You need to drink one medium solution.
Then get cannulated.
And have another medium injected into you.
My veins are difficult to hit. The dude did it well.
The flush of the second medium into my blood stream caused a flush like being full of hot bath water.
Especially in my neck and genitals
Like something out of Burroughs.
Then the bed automatically moves forwards and backwards through the doughnut, telling you to hold your breath.
On the last scan I couldn't quite hold. It was okay though.
Within the doughnut the X-ray device rotates, spinning around your body.
I am not looking at the CTs until after surgery and diagnosis.
26 September 2006: Got a surgical slot, next Tuesday (3 October 2006)
27 September 2006 (TODAY): Went to GP to discuss pain, which is just me noticing pain, and referred pain from the swelling. Going to pick-up my hospital admissions information.
