Well said Penny!

Perchie/Deb. I know how I would feel if I were in your shoes. Please keep telling yourself that you are strong, you are brave, you are a fighter, you are a survivor and you can get through this. Just remember.....We are all with you in spirit, holding your hand, rooting you on and lifting you up with prayer.

Let us know from time to time how things are going and remember that you are loved here on BYC!

deb, thanks for the update. The scans are easy peasy, and this won't be the last one you get. I've never had the radiation, but have been told it's not too bad. The only thing about the oral contrast is it tears my stomach up. I go straight home after the scans, and spend the rest of the day running to the bathroom. By the next day, I'm right as rain again.

Nyquil (and Dayquil) have artificial sweeteners in them. Just a caveat for those who get migraines from fake sugar.

The artificial colors are not all that great either, we had to find one's that are free of dyes for one of our kids, turn into a monster with artificial dyes. Keep her off red Kool-aid, jello, or cough medicine/liquid Tylenol/ibuprofen etc and she was just fine.

Oh and I have had one MRI... One with and with out contrast. ONe CT scan with and without contrast and a special gel insert .... a surprise for sure....

So now I go in fill myself up with Barium or Iodine by chugging 1.5 quarts of the stuff.... then try not to make a mess of the table when they do my CT...

I am joking of course...

deb, I WASN'T joking. That oral stuff goes right through me. I've threatened to wear adult diapers, and carry wipes in my purse for those stupid tests. So far, I've always made it through the test, but not always home before I was hunting a bathroom.
