Two isn't always better than one

• CT, bloodwork and treatment at Siteman West County

My health insurance wouldn't approve a MRI for today (Dr. T suggested one to get a better look at my liver), so I had a CT of my chest, abdomen and pelvis this morning. The technician did run an extra view of my liver after the contrast was injected.

I called this afternoon to see if the preliminary results were available... and Dr. T called me back. Over the phone, my understanding was that the lesion that has been there all along was somehow appearing different and the radiologist was now suggesting that a MRI is warranted to get a better look at it. (And my health insurance now apparently agrees!) Since I'm leaving to go out of town tomorrow, my MRI is scheduled for the day after I get back.

***Update*** Later in the week though, when the final CT results are available on-line, I can see that the radiologist refers to two different spots on my liver, the one that has been there all along and now a new one. *sigh*
