I went for scans today, Cat scan is easy enough, feet first.. followed that with a MRI, head first is a little tough for me. 45 minutes the tech said, was long time for me, keep eyes closed and breathe easy. I will get the results tomorrow when I visit my Oncologist. I'm one of those I don't want to know anything, but after reading on here, I'm contemplating on having my wife tell me what is in these scans. On the one hand it could knock me down but maybe it could be good to know and use the info to stay strong. My doctor is going to tell me the highlights anyway, maybe I say this is what I have and still I'm moving forward. Best to all.

For what’s it’s worth, I’m the same as you regarding tests results. I get them online very fast but seldom look. You are not alone! Stay healthy! 🤞🙏🏻

The raw scan results are usually pretty ambiguous on their own, in my experience — your oncologist will put them together with other information to make a diagnosis. I hope everything turns out well.
FWIW, the bone scan was the worst of them for me, because they tied my arms to my side like a mummy for 45 minutes and shoved me into a tube so narrow that I had to scrunch up my shoulders to fit and I could barely breathe. I'll take an MRI or CAT scan over that any day.
