CT ruling out brain tumor?

By

I did it. A full body work up. And still anxious.

Hi! So yesterday I went and had a full body work up in the ER. I just couldn’t stand the anxiety and worry anymore. I don’t care how much it ends up costing, I just really didn’t want to feel scared of dying from a brain tumor anymore.

For some background: for the past 5 months I’ve been feeling off balance/vertigo feelings/bad vision, blurry, and really anxious. I’m 28 and have never had any major health issues. But have had panic disorder and OCD for as long as I can remember.

Yesterday I had a CT scan of my brain, chest x rays, EKG, and full blood work.

Everything came back fine but I’ve heard CT scans don’t always pick up on small tumors. Only large masses? And the ER Dr said; “you don’t have any large masses in your brain.” So I was thinking of that sentence later, like does that mean there’s a chance of there being small masses?

Why can’t I just feel reassured and better and excited I don’t seemingly have anything life threatening? Anxiety is so hard.

Sorry for venting. Sending all the love I can conjure to you all who suffer from this stuff, it’s no joke.

I got into the Rad Tech program!

By
I just want to share with you that I finally got into the program at our local community college and i’m starting this summer. For context, I’m already 30yo with a prior BS degree and decided on a career change. During the pandemic until this semester, I took my time to take all the pre-reqs and GEs required while working. I also volunteered at a hospital for over a year. It was optional due to COVID, but I still did it to get the brownie points. I finally applied last March 2023 and received good news last Friday. The program is based on a pointing system, so I think having good grades really mattered. It was my first time applying and the only program I applied to. I didn’t know it was possible to get in on your first try because of all of the stories I’ve been reading, so don’t lose hope because it’s possible! Wishing everyone who’s applying this year good luck. You can do this! If you have questions, I will do my best to answer them 😊 also if you have tips on how to survive this ...

Do rad techs/sonographers deal with vomit often?

By
Hi there! I’m currently considering going to school to be a rad tech or sonographer but I’m struggling to find out if you guys deal with vomit a lot. I am emetophobic (phobia of vomit) and, while I think I’d like these jobs a lot, it does worry me to think about having to deal with it often. Thank you for your help! submitted by /u/pootscoot1 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/p5y0aa/do_rad_techssonographers_deal_with_vomit_often/
