Anyone ever have this?

Ruthanne, been thinking about you, how did the scan go for you?

Thank you.

I was wondering also, was going to text you but didn't want to bother you.

My phone for text isn't working. I had problems with my debit card and had to get a new one so the phone bill could not be paid yet.

Anyhow, they postponed the scan and didn't give me a reason. I postponed it after that so I won't have it until next week. We'll see what happens.

My MRI Was cancelled and rescheduled 2 times. In a way I was always happy that I didn't have to do it but stressed that I still had not gotten it done and out of the way. Actually was a whole month of stress until it was finally done.

Hope everything turns out okay for you, Ruthanne. :love_heart:

Thank you CeeCee. I have just been trying to think it's going to be okay. I was so scared for awhile but I really don't know what will come of it yet.
 


I'm also going for a "procedure" on Friday. I have to take some RI Iodine stuff on Wednesday and Thursday so that they can "see" things better inside.

Fingers crossed for both of us CeeCee
 
I have the CT Scan this morning. I talked to a financial advocate at the Clinic and she said the insurance people refused to pay for the scan. She also said the hospital will pay for it if they can't get my insurance co. to take care of it. They are fighting for me she said. My apptmt. is at 9 am this morning. I'm not nervous, just want to get it over and done with. I may change my insurance co. after this. It's open enrollment season and I am going to find out which insurance my new doctor takes.
 
Hope it all goes well with positive results. Yes indeed, go hunting for a better deal, there are hundreds of companies seeking your business!

Thanks Mike! I got the scan done but don't have results for that yet.

I got some results from my blood tests that I had a few weeks ago. My platelets are on the low side. They want me to see a hematologist. My cholesterol is high as usual, too. I can't take cholesterol lowering drugs but I think they may have a new one now and I'll see if I can try it. I also need an A1C test because my glucose is higher than it should be. One good thing is that my liver enzymes have gone down but still a little higher, just a bit. That's good news.

So tomorrow I'll get another test for A1C and Monday I will see the doctor. I'm glad I'm getting all of this taken care of. :)
 
Good luck with your scan results Ruthanne, I know it must be stressful for you, but I'm glad you're getting things checked out and taken care of.

I might get the scan results on Monday but I don't know yet. Really I am just tired right now and think I'll go to bed early tonight...maybe. Thank you.
 
I am back from the doctor. I have been referred to more doctors because of the results of blood tests, todays exam and the CT Scan. So now I am going to see a Pulmonary doctor for the lungs and a Hepatologist (liver specialist). I'm not sure of anything at this point. :(
 
Good luck. I've had lots of bleeding over the years. First time was ulcers, but nothing serious, a stomach ull of small peptic ulcers. Later, (COPD related) but the bleed was nothing serious, just broken capillaries from coughing. That was my case. But you need to follow through with the lung guy. Get the skinny from a specialist. Hope all goes well.
