March 2012,
CT Scan day, Chris was advised not to eat or drink anything for
eight hours before the CT scan. Chris was asked to drink a bottle of barium,
just prior to the scan & then an iodine injection was given (the iodine is
supposed to make you feel hot, but Chris said it wasn't too bad), while lying
on the machine. A bunch of images were taken & then Chris was told to come
back in 3 hours to collect the results.
We went & had lunch & tried not
to think about things. Lunch was great, enjoyed with Susie (Chris’s sister)
& Magda (Chris’s mum).
Afterwards, we drove back to collect the results.
Actually, it surprises me that these places just give you the results,
particularly as we couldn't help reading the report...As we were driving home,
we were all quietly devastated as Chris read the results. The report confirmed
that the swollen Lymph nodes appeared consistent with Hodgkins...
