Scans
I'm having strong memories of my SNB sitting in the same waiting room this morning for a CT and bone scan. Unpleasant. I've avoided sitting in the same chair. Hardly anyone here today. That morning it...

There were three spots on the liver and they were all cysts. SUCH a relief.
However he found a 6mm growth on my gallbladder which will have to be monitored. He said it's probably a polyp but they don't biopsy them unless they're 10mm or more.
It's a bummer about the gall bladder but at least I know. If there's a problem brewing they'll be on to it early. Gallbadder cancer is rare, and usually diagnosed at Stage 4 because it's symptomless until too late. So all in all my stance on scans remains the same: I'd rather have them than not.
Current state of mind: phew!
