Urgent CT Scan done today

I contacted my Oncologist a few days ago to let her know that the pain I have been having in my back is not getting any better. Some days I feel it is getting a bit worse.
That and earlier this week I saw my GP who said that he could feel the edges of my liver and it felt enlarged to him.
Made sense to me since I have been having a bit of pain there and a feeling of pressure on my liver was bothering me.
That seems to be a bit better now. The back pain is still there. The other day it actually felt a little better but its just not going away.

My Dr. had me in within 2 days of notifying her of my symptoms.
I went in today for the CT. I had mentioned right away to the nurse about my vein situation. They are all crapping out on me from all the wear and tear of the chemo. They are very fragile and teeny tiny so the ones that will actually work have to be used carefully.

I told her that usually a baby needle is needed and to start the IV slow. Now, I know it sounds bad me trying to tell them how to do their job. I said it in the most polite way. The nurse insisted that they can not use a baby needle for me so she was determined to use a larger needle.
I felt like total crap today so I was in no mood to argue for long. I figured well...ok, go ahead then.
SO, 3 nurses later and 6 tries later I finally got the RN that did the line the last time I went in. She took one look at me and said she remembered me and the tiny veins. She then went on to say that for me a baby needle is needed and to start the IV slow.
She got a vein on the first try.

It was a pretty long draining experience again today trying to get the IV in. A lot of pain but it was short lived.
It took well over an hour to get the vein thing sorted out and about 2 minutes for the CT scan.

I should have results soon. I am really nervous about it. However, I just have to stay positive and try not to think about it until I get the phone call.

I am still waiting for the Iniparib. I have no idea when that will happen. Good thing I did not hold my breath.

This week I have off of chemo and then I go again next Thursday.
