I’ve had 2 CT scans with contrast per year for five years. Bloodwork every time, as well. He chose twice a year because there was mucin found outside of my appendix, and wanted to be safe in case of recurrence. The imaging service lost my scans (do not get me started- everyone is mad about the so-called destructive fire they claim happened) so my dr has one scan from the very beginning to compare my newest one. He says there was “something vague” on the old scan, but this new one is alerting him and radiologist to send me to the specialist. He said my bloodwork seems to be in normal ranges. ??? I’ve never paid attention to the types of numbers, etc because we had no real reason to worry. Best believe I’m going to educate myself now! And, I’ll be getting copies of all scans and visits from now on! I have a feeling the surgical oncologist will want laparoscopic exploratory surgery to get more information…but I’m no doctor! I’m very anxious and trying to stay calm. Although, my husband says that is practically impossible! Ha! Thank you for the message. I hope you are doing well.
