Scanxiety: How did you get through scanxiety?

@richcolleen- I get this! But I'd rather have to wait a day for an accurate final radiologist's report than an immediate guess. I'm ashamed to say that I don't drink enough water after my CT. What I do is increase my intake until I'm maybe 1 glass more than usual. I don't think that you really need to drink enough water to float away on.
@ta52- Same with me. I just received great news about my recent CT scan. I find that they are all important.

@merpreb Merry - Not sure if it makes a difference but my scan is at Mayo and the radiologist and doctor read the scan the same day. My scan is at 10:00 and my doctor's consult is at 1:15 the same day. Mayo can be a machine at times but in a good way. You have you blood work results, for example, in less than a half hour.
The scanxiety stems from the fact that this is the first one after my first round of treatment. It's not the test but what the test will show (or not show) that's nerve wracking.
