Another ER visit

Yesterday I went to the ER with nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain that was wrapping around my left side towards my back. They wanted to do a CT scan with oral and IV contrast, but I threw up the first bottle of contrast right after I finished drinking it. They decided not to make me drink the second bottle and just used the IV contrast.

According to the CT report, "There is new moderate left hydronephrosis and hydroureter with the left ureter traced to the midportion. Likely obstructed beyond this point from peritoneal metastases. Otherwise unremarkable bilateral kidneys and right ureter."

They gave me ciprofloxacin and told me to follow up with my gynecological oncologist. I'm going to see him on Tuesday and he wants me to see a urologist.
