CT scan uncertainty

[EhAmIBeingStupid]

Later today I have to go for for a CT scan of my thorax, full abdomen and pelvis. It involves drinking a litre of a contrast liquid and also the contrast injection during the scan.

I can't sleep for thinking about out the examination and the possible results. I haven't even told any family members about it.

I've already had a quite a few tests that haven't got to the bottom some problems I'm having. I already have a couple of conditions that are causing awful problems for me and I live alone so don't have anyone to discuss them with.

The thing is two of the consultants I see, dealing with different conditions (that may be unusually linked), could have referred me for this CT scan and I don't know which one it is is and has been arranged very quickly. I think this is just adding to my worry about it and the results.

I'm not sure why I am writing this.

I think I'm just all alone with nobody to talk to and too many thoughts going round my head. Thank you if you've read it all all.

Have a hand hold from me, I hope the scan goes well.

I'm here. I had to have a CT scan in 2021. They had discovered a strange polyp in my duodenum. It was not cancerous (still getting treatment) but I realised they were checking out my lungs etc as cancer could have started there. I did not have to drink anything but they did put the injection in. They also told me that I would experience the sensation of wetting myself 🙂 but that would quickly pass. I guess you need to approach it like it will hopefully eliminate one or two possibilities. Good luck.

thank you both.

I want to find what's causing my problems but don't want it to be something nasty. Heck!

and I want to feel sleepy 🙄
