I spent most of the morning waiting on a call from my chest specialist to give me the results of the scan I had on my lungs last week. He had told me not to worry about it, but once you’ve been in the giant magical doughnut, you can’t help but worry about what it’s gonna find.
This scan found that all the little nodules were still there but not doing anything. And, as the doc explained, you could grab everyone walking through the Queen Street Mall, scan them, and find mystery nodules in at least half. Not that he does this. Or at least I don’t think so. Maybe once a year, and only with the slower moving punters.
Still, I could’ve done without the cliffhanger.
I have another scan tomorrow, but this one is friendlier, a Dexa full body scan to tell me exactly how much fat I’m carrying and where I packed it in. I’ll have another one in six months and see if this strength training program has made any difference.
So glad for your clear call. I hate the doughnut machines. So loud and uncomfortable. And then the wait... At least the "Election Day Elbow" is only X-rays & an hour later a happy specialist. Turns out that having an elbow break that is very rare gets you a slightly overexcited orthopaedist. So hope the body scan is not too confronting. I guess I will be up for lots of physical therapy, so any hints on good Brissie physios/gyms would be appreciated.
You got me at "giant magical doughnut". I was cursing inside that noisy space monster last week with dodgy knee scans. Glad your results went well. Mine still 'in the post'.
Really good to hear. Chest stuff going well.
bloody relief - hope it stays that way for many years to come.

Hooray for non malignant nodules doing nothing in your lungs! The fat scan is probably going to be far more alarming 😂
