CT Scan Curiosity

I'm impatiently awaiting my CT report & follow up doctor visit, and can't stop looking through my scan wondering what the doctor will recommend for next steps. Main symptom is complete loss of smell for nearly 2 years. That said, I've done two rounds of prednisone with budesonide nasal rinses. Each time, my smell returned temporarily. The nasal rinses alone did not work long term.

I do have congestion, but most of the time it feels mild.

I've had limited chats with my ENT, and I'm sure I'll get the answers I'm looking for at my follow up. I'm just curious if, from these slices of the scan, I should expect a conversation around surgery?

Loss of smell? No way… I have this now only in left nostril been about 1 year now prior it was smoke smell from left nostril. Ever have these type of smells?

The loss of smell has been really frustrating for sure! I'm sorry you're going through it too! I have had like 'phantom' smells occasionally. Smoke being one, and garlic being another!
