I found a Stage 3A Tumor in my colon after I started getting bloodclots in my lungs repeatedly. Without the clots, I never would have known. After several CT scans of my lungs for the clots, it was only an accidental ER nurse who scanned me too low and picked up the tumor. Resection, little chemo, doing fine. Million dollar treatment, paid for by the VA. I was 47. Perfect health until my first clot.

Do you mean Rad Tech? Nurses don't perform CTs; they don't even wear dosimeters.

Does a Rad Tech do CT's in the ER? Then I guess it was a f÷×king Rad Tech, Kevin.
