As usual I forgot to add part of the story. I had the CT at about 12:30 yesterday and I was out spraying shortly thereafter. Around 4 I must have started to develop an allergic reaction to the contrast dye that they gave me. Now sadly I've had a whole lot of CT scans in my life and never had this happen before. But my left arm puffed up like a sausage, turned bright red and then I lost all strength in my arm. I actually couldn't use my left arm to steer the sprayer which is the arm I steer with. I had the most intense back pain and I just remember praying I'd be able to finish the last field, I think it really kicked in with 8 passes left to go.
So I finished, went home, was barely able to make it into the house when I just started to shiver violently. I mean I was so cold and then sweating profusely. When my gf came home she wanted me to go to the hospital but being sort of stubborn I wanted to give it a while to work through. And after about 2 hours the chills and shaking went away.
I had a horrible sleep, walking up every 10 to 15 minutes and didn't even get out of bed to go and exercise this morning.
Anyway, my gf goes to work and maybe around 8 there was a knock at the door. Mom and dad came over and wanted to take me to the hospital. So I knuckled under and said I would go. I was lucky that the Dr. working today is one that is familiar with my case. She agreed that it was probably a reaction to the dye but said that she wanted to consult with another Dr.
And this is the reason for the update, when I didn't think I would have anything to share for a while. She was able to get the results of the CT scan and it appears there is no cancer in my chest, abdomen or pelvis! So I've learned earlier than the 4th that if it has spread, it may only be within my left arm which is pretty good news! She said that the surgeon in GP will be very happy with this result as it means he just needs to see what happened lymph node wise in my arm and that it didn't spread into the rest of my body!
Really I ought to go out and do my first burnout with the Z06 to celebrate. Yes, something I have yet to do in 4 years if you can believe that. Maybe I'll save that for around the 18th............................
Cheers,
