Hi gracemaggie17 the first person id speak to is your doctor, id call them and ask the same question you asked here, as they are the specialist and can advise inform you as they also have your health/medical history...they are best placed to assist you. Yes CT scan can be different for different people and sometime they dont administer the Oral solution contract or sometime to IV contrast as they can see creatine levels in your bllod and if that high they may elect not to do the contrast this time. I have been in this siutation where my levels were high but tghey gave me saline drip before the contrast....but i have different issue's i am keen to follow your poist up but remeber stay away from dr Google he knows nothing of your history and may only increase your anxiety of whats going on until you speak to your professionals. Like someone else already said i hope you get the diagnosis your hoping for .......stay strong and if there is one advise ask your doctor these questions and be safe. ... View more

Thanks Wegotthis, i think you are being real by saying that you have problem sharing i hope you can talk and share with in time as ive found since posting this ive been able to re-focus for me on whats important and not allow fear of the unknown drag me to a place where i see no way out. My real issue i was diagnosed quite some time ago and only done 1 lot of radiotherapy as i tried to get on different trials. Now its spread more and has resulted in me not being able to complete the trial so i start my Immunotherapy on Monday. I am inspired by all the people i have met here and all have different stories, My family are struggle to see me so upset all the time but are so supportive i am a very lucky man. Lifeline was a blessing for me at the right time, i spoke to a total stranger and poored out my heat with no regrets, thats hard to do but they really helped me focus on moving forward. Reach out if youd like to talk to someone that understand what your going through as living it you fing kindred spirits. you helped me here i hope i have helped you. Darren ... View more

Hi Linda G, Thanks for your response, i was in a really bad place yesterday and just needed to talk to someone so reached out through the forum, I ended up calling Lifeline, I do have a really supportive wife and son but they were both not available for me at my time of crisis. Lifeline helped me walk through my thoughts and feelings and settled me enough to understand my reaction is quite normal. Thank you for your post. ... View more
