I have two out of the three results back (my doctor is out of town until Monday or I would probably already have the CT scan results). So far everything is clean. This is good. No cancer. But there is still something wrong so I'll have to go back to the doctor and see if we can't come up with a new direction to head down.
I'm relieved but still sceptical. If you've ever been one of those people who have heard a doctor say "There really isn't anything wrong with you" and then end up in the emergency room because there IS something wrong with you, you'll understand where I'm coming from. Been there, done that, had the medical bills to prove there was something wrong!
But maybe I'm fine! Maybe my body just hiccuped! It's a possibility! But it was worth it because 1)it got my little sister to a doctor for her annual exam which she has been putting off, 2)it made me realize once again that needles aren't SO bad, and 3)it gave me a resolve to find a primary care physician to look into a few other things that are (superficially) wrong right now. My mother is hoping it means I'll go to the dentist... but we'll have to see. I'm not that much of a sadist!
