Hello, friends.
I've been having some issues with scar tissue, so I had a recent CT scan. I didn't get contrast through an IV, but I did drink a solution before the scan. At my regular hospital where I get my scans, the drink is a thick, berry-flavored drink, and I tolerate it fine. This one was clear and thinner in texture. Anyway, after the scan I had diarrhea for 3-4 days, and I've developed a pain in my right abdomen (level with my belly button) that comes in waves.
I have an appointment tomorrow, but I'm wondering if this could be a reaction to the scan drink since all of these problems occurred right after the scan. Has anyone experienced problems like this after a CT scan?
On a positive note, I'm still in remission, the baby I was pregnant with when diagnosed will be four soon, and sometimes I go a full day without even thinking about cancer, which I never thought would be possible.
