Guest guest Posted July 30, 2003 Report Share Posted July 30, 2003 hi, a ct scan is easy. when you go in the room there will be a booth for the tech. and the ct mach. the machine looks like a big square with a hole in the middle, where the hole is there is a table you lay on that can slide in the hole. when the scan starts it is important to stay as still as you can as this will make the images better. and in about ten to fifteen minutes it will be over. no problem. good luck to you.

Just heard I am going for my 1st CT scan next week...a sure sign my 1st surgery can't be far away....not sure what to expect from the scan and I am a bit anxious about the result (will they infact discover I have a brain at last?!) Any advice or stories of similar experiences would be much welcomed. Thanks for your support.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2004 Report Share Posted January 6, 2004 Evel, These visits to the doctors have been so much easier for myself since getting my CI. At some places we get moved around to different medical people, and there was always some tension in trying to hear my name called. Best of luck in your quest to get a CI. Ralph CII 8/01 HiRes 2/03 I told her why I was there and that I was hearing impaired and after I removed my hearing aid I would be even worse ) She was really great and I made it through fine.. I then took my paperwork back to the main desk and she said " 15 dollars please " and I heard that fine! Go figure ) I am just mentioning this as I read so many stories from those books about all the stress of simple things like a Dr.'s visit for us..

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2005 Report Share Posted February 7, 2005 Hi Cheryl, I have bad kidneys - so scarred from past infections my doctor advised me not to have any citrus or cranberry products as they are too acidic. I've had many CT scans with the dye, and it has never been a problem. It's an odd feeling when it first goes in - you get very, very warm for a few seconds. I have occasional RUQ pain - quite acute at times. I've had colonoscopies also, and the doctor can't find any reason for the pain. His latest advice is to try a non-dairy diet to see if that is the cause. I've not started that one yet but will as soon as things calm down around the house. Good luck, Sandy C.

Guest guest Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 DonI'm actually a little afraid to hope for that!! I had completely put it out of my mind about my chances after the operation and this just it back and slapped me in the face. However, there is no sense worrying about it for another 3 months.Gloria Hi Gloria Maybe there is no small tumor???

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 If you're refering to the mastoid bone....From what we were told on my son's scans.... you want to see a honey comb look. Ctoma's wipe out that honey comb material replacing it with solid skin material. That's my understanding. So the dark area could be Ctoma material?

One side had a bunch of "dark" spots which the tech said was "air". I guess that is good. The other side was completely solid gray....does that mean I have a bad infection on this side?
