CT Scan to Detect Cancer

CT scan to detect cancer is a revolution in the medical field in the recent years. CT scans are helpful in visually examinining the whole body that the parts that are even difficult to view using other visual examination methods. It creates great quality images of the patient's body part that are helpful in diagnosing the disease exactly. They can not only create quality images, but also very clear images when the patient is drunk a contrast material before the visual exam. This is a better test than other visual exam tests, such as x-ray test, angiogram, and nuclear scans. We will learn about MRI or magnetic resonance imaging technique later in the next post.

CT Scan and Lung Cancer

CT scan machine does its great job of scanning on the area of suspicion of disease or pain, for example, lungs, chest, abdominal areas or brain. It covers the x-ray picture of a separate thin area of tissue one by one and it can be monitored in a computer screen as slice images as cross-section image of the body part in slices. This kind of visual examination is very useful to analyze the area of the disease or what kind of disease in a particular area of the body part. For example, when CT scan is done in the lungs of the patient suspicious for lung cancer, the images of lungs can be monitored in slices in the monitor and so the presence of lung cancer is traced easily and clearly. CT scan to detect cancer in any part of the body is a vital test nowadays.

CT Scan Cancer Risk

There is one drawback in the CT scan method is over exposure of x-rays to any particular body part for the diagnosis of disease. CT scan to detect cancer can be done only in the patients who are clearly suspicious for cancer for the diagnostic purpose of the area of the disease.

Thanksgiving Eve 2011...

OMG... I feel awful. I feel sick. I am weak and a little wobbly. And more than anything... I am only slightly upset about it. Its Thanksgiving. Well, the night before Thanksgiving and I am reflecting as I reposition my heating pad on my back, and try to pretend that the smell of Ben Gay isn't giving me a headache. I feel bad because my menstrual cycle showed up yesterday. And... I'm more than annoyed that it came back less than a month after it left.

What is this? Two months in a row? Again with this madness? *deep sigh*  I know some of y'all are pretty young and haven't hit a stage in your life where you no longer have a cycle but while I cried and was upset when I had my ovaries put to sleep three years ago when I started chemotherapy... *looking around sheepishly*  I LOVED not having a cycle for two years.  Freaking loved it.

Man!! You don't realize how much of a pain in the behind all of this cramping and back ache and bloating and PMS is... until you don't have it. *sigh* Oh well... I still love being a girl.

This post was supposed to be about what I am thankful for this year... and I suppose that as nutty and crazy as it seems, especially since I feel so freaking awful, I am thankful for my menses. Because it is normal for a woman my age to have them. Normal. That's what I am now. I am normal. Post breast cancer, regular ol' broke chick normal. I go on bad dates. I eat great food. I laugh a lot. I have a crush on a cute boy. I send texts. I write in my journal -- well, not exactly my journal, but I write down my thoughts. I look for a job, like everybody else in the unemployed world. I drink when I'm out with my friends -- or when I'm just feeling like a little something at home. I watch the Food Network. I am normal.

Isn't that just a blessing? Three years ago, I was fighting to be brave. I was "Weeping Wanda" who cried pretty much all day long. Now, I laugh more than I cry. I tell myself corny knock-knock jokes and fall out laughing as though Bernie Mac was giving me a personal comedy show. I worry about wearing the right shoes, or the right dress... which earrings to wear... all of that silly stuff that just fills up your day. I do that now. I don't have to go to the hospital every few days. I could go on and on.. Granted, normal is different now but it is mundane, just like every one else's life.

I think that finding normal has made me the happiest that I've been in three years. And for that... I am thankful and grateful.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I am grateful and thankful for your presence and your support. You rock!!

Angiography Scan for Cancer

Angiography Scan

Angiography scan is a visual examination technique used to identify cancers in the blood vessels in the interior organs. This method is very much useful in diagnosing cancers and treating cancers. Contrast materials are also used to track the blood vessels in angiography sometimes. X-rays as well as catheters are also used with CT scans to produce images. Any blood vessels in any part of the body can be visually examined by this scanning method, such as liver, brain, etc. This scan test confirms whether the patient needs surgery or not. Images of slices or cross-section can be obtained from angiogram. A contrast dye is injected into any vein and so the travel of the dye is monitored in a screen to find any abnormalities in its path and this method of angiogram is called as venogram. When arteries are monitored using contrast dye that method is called as arteriogram.

Uses of Angiography Image

Any blood vessels, such as arteries and veins can be examined using angiography scan. Presence of any cancer in the blood vessels can be easily identified using this method. Angiogram is also used in treatments using chemotherapies in cancer patients.  The chemotherapy drug is delivered through a catheter tube to the tumor directly from the outer sources by placing it on a particular blood vessel near the tumor. Using angiography images, physicians can easily assess the size of the tumor.

Angiogram Risk

Angiography scan is very much useful technique even though it has some risks. The patients do angiograms sometimes get infection, more bleeding , damage to the kidney, and some allergic reactions after the application of this scan. But in cancer treatments using chemotherapy drugs, the usage of angiogram is very effective.

What I'm reading now: The good girl's guide to bad girl sex

I have a personal theory about why nerds make good partners. Besides the obvious (assumed) reasons -- they are smart, they will be loyal, they probably will make good money -- my theory that nerds make good partners is based solely on the notion that nerds know that they are nerds. The bad boy and the player... know that they are attractive. They work diligently to look great, to be smooth talkers and to dress the part. The drive the right cars (or motorcycles) and they tend to have this delicious swag that makes you catch your breath when they pass you by. For those guys, the work goes into the appearance.

Nerds are different. Nerds know that they aren't the flyest guy in the spot. Nerds are naturally inquisitive and they tend to be studious. They apply the same enthusiasm they have for a new subject to someone they are interested in. They learn you. From head to toe, inside out... they figure out what you like, what makes you smile and they work to perfect those transitions so that even if they aren't the flyest guy, they know that they can make you happy.

I've also learned, that nerds tend to apply that same fastidiousness to their sex lives. *eye brow raised*  Yep, I'm telling y'all the truth right now -- so take notes.

Next time you're hanging over your favorite nerd's house, check out his library. If he's really a true nerd... somewhere in there (might be hidden from view) there will be books, videos and other tutorial aids that will help him figure out how to get YOU where you want to go. Ever hooked up with a guy that you weren't completely sure about? He was nice... but something was sort of missing? And then, he kissed you, or he brought you your favorite flowers, took you to your favorite restaurant... complimented your new lipstick, hairdo... something small but it was powerful? He may have complimented you with a sincerity that made you blush. And if you stuck around with that nerd, perhaps... he blew your socks off when you got to the bedroom. You were sitting there, curled in a fetal position with your thumb in your mouth trying to figure out when Clark Kent turned into Superman?

 (sigh)  Yep. I've been there. :)  *That's why I like nerds* 
So... for the nerdy girls out there -- though with girls, its not usually that we're nerds as much as we're stuck in the "good girl" zone. Personally, I think that whole damn term "good girl" needs to die. Like now. At any rate... if you're stuck in the good girl zone... and you're wondering how it is that so many chicks just seem to naturally connect with their inner sex-pot... well, you need to pick up this book.

"The Good Girl's Guide to Bad Girl Sex" written by Barbara Keesling.. is actually pretty good. (laughs) I bought it on the sale rack at some book store just because the title was hilarious to me. But... the author has done  great job of breaking a lot of things down. She addresses how to dress, how to walk, how to talk and she also gives detailed (though not embarrassing) instructions on how to get to know yourself.

I highly recommend picking up a copy of this little book. It has some good stuff in it. Being a breast cancer survivor, some days its a challenge to connect with my inner sex kitten. Sharing my body with someone has so many emotional mines that it can be really hard to keep my head in the game.  Literally. So, I read books like this, to reconnect with my body and stay intune with my innate sexiness. Despite what happened to my body on this journey to wholeness... I am still a very sexual person. (Plus, my hormones won't let me forget it even if I want to try) I connect with my inner nerd and I'm trying to be Lois Lane for my next Clark Kent... I can't be the only one curled up with my thumb in my mouth.

**Note:  Nerds and shy guys are not the same thing. A nerd can be outgoing or shy... if you've got a shy nerd on your hands, you might have to work a little bit harder to get him out of his shell. Personally, I don't date shy men. Its too frustrating for me. But, plenty of my friends are shy and date shy guys... so don't discount the shy fellow. Just find a way to connect with him and watch him blossom under your attention. **

Chapters:
Bad girls feel good about being bad
Bad girls have sex on the brain
Bad girls dress the part
Bad girls walk the walk
Bad girls know how to talk sexy, in and out of bed
Bad girls know their bodies
Bad girls touch and tease
Bad girls love to climax
Bad girls play with toys
Bad girls break all the rules

I'm telling you... its a good book. I am currently trying to figure one thing out... and when I do... watchoutdernow!!
