CT Scan

This scan also was quite painless. The only hard thing was to drink three cups of water two hours before scan then another cup just before scan. I was not required to hold that, but it was still a bit more than I usually drink all at once.  They had me remove any metal objects.  They positioned me on the scan bed. This involved a comfortable wedge type pillow under my head.   Then they gave me a shot of some kind of dye solution for higher contrast of vessels. After a minute or so that solution gave me a kind of warm sensation especially in my lower body. The machine whined and click and made other noises and the bed moved a bit in and out of the donut shaped scanner  It told be to hold my breath for a few seconds and then it was over. The cancer center called me about a week later and told me that the scan was negative for cancer (all good). I am thankful for that I now carry on with the ADT treatment.  Neither the bone scan nor the CT scan found evidence of cancer so it is too small
