My insurance finally approved the CT scan (a week ago it had issued a denial, as stage 3 breast cancer is not enough of a reason for the scan to see if there are any other metastases). Called the clinic and the Lahey technician was able to squeeze me in at the last minute at the end of the week on Saturday 12/17 at 8:45 in the morning. Kudos for that.
The familiar basement 2 west wing lab. Had to remove all metal (zippers, wires), get an iodine IV (to add to the radioactive solution from last time), and I am off on the girdle into the metal donut.
The scan itself was quite short, only 20 minutes, and not at all claustrophobia inducing, unlike the MMR or even the bone scan.
I even managed to make it back in time for Max's clarinet school recital at 10:30!
