My CT angiogram today was pretty painless. I have a headache from the contrast, and it was a little weird (the contrast dye is given through an IV, and it makes you feel hot, starting at your head and moving down your body. Super weird!) I've had CT scans of my brain and lungs in the past, but this process was longer and unfamiliar, which made it a little stressful. I think I'm a little less trusting of things after my EMG testing last month!
Interestingly, I got the radiologist to discuss my brain lesion with me; after the scans
he was really curious to know what it looks on MRI. He was asking several questions, so I asked if he wanted to see a picture. He said yes, definitely, and mentioned that he was
curious to know where my brain lesion was....which means he may not have seen
anything unusual on the vascular scans he ran. He was really impressed with the size of my lesion in pics, which also probably means he didn't see much in his scans.
I feel some small sense of victory that he may have accidentally shared a result with me, but at the same time, it would be pretty rough news if he was right. At this point, we are hoping this will be a vascular lesion, because the alternative isn't good. Anyways though, I shouldn't be trying to read between the lines on something like this. When I get results, I will definitely share.
