CT of Brain, Chest & Abdomen

I am aware of the risks from numerous ct scans and x-rays. I had already had several ct scans this year and countless x-rays done that I didn't want to think about the risks anymore. With my condition, if I didn't go for the ct scans and x-rays, then I wouldn't be able to know what was going on in my body.

There are pleural effusions in both my lungs again.

Part of the bases of my lungs have collapsed.

The tongue-twisting, mind-boggling medical lingo of the results of the ct scan of my brain, chest and abdomen has got me again.

Of the liver, I could understand the words 'improved' and 'resolved', so I think the condition of my liver is improving.

Of the spine, from the words 'compatible with treatment related change', I think it should be okay too.

There's no more bleeding in the brains.
