David had a CT (COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY) (CAT scan) with contrast at our local hospital. Dr. W called with the results and explained the scan showed some thickening of the colon wall along with some diverticula. Proctitis was noted. The thickening of the wall can indicate cancer. Dr. W noted that it showed that his liver looked clear from spots. The liver is usually the first organ where colorectal cancer will spread.
SCANNED (-d)
First experience with contrast for CT scan (and maybe first CT scan) and with the exception of one IV not wanting to start it went really well. No passing out. I was a little nervous and everybody was super helpful and explained everything each step of the way. Really pleased with the experience. Also seeing all the CT stuff was cool and I got a really close look at how closely all the seams and gaps of the machine are put together.
