I have a couple of questions
I have to have a full body scan in a couple of days, and I've never had one before. Over a 45 minutes period prior to arrival I have to drink a litre of water then they are going to give me more on arrival. I know it's a daft question but does anyone know if I'm allowed to pee because it's going to go straight through me.
Secondly ... How long does the scan take and does it matter if I move slightly during the scan because I'm a right fidget and can't stay still for 5 mins !!
I know they are trivial questions and I've got a lot more serious things to worry about at the moment but the little things worry me too.
Hi I see that you have posted in our Skin cancer group before so you are not new to the Community.
I have had many CT Scans with contrast over my 23 years. Yes you can pee as much as you want, but once you drink the contrast they don't want you to pee so be prepared for this.
You do need to lay as still as possible - but the scan won't take long.
Omg it doesn't say I can in my letter. 
Just call the Radiotherapy Department and ask the question.....they are used to receiving questions like this - put your mind at rest.
This time is indeed challenging but let's look got you to get clear answers soon.
You may want to call the Macmillan Support Line open 8am-8pm (timings may differ across services) 7 days a week on 0808 808 00 00. These services provide cancer information, practical information, emotional support or just a listening ear.
Macmillan have some helpful information on cancer and your emotions and also this on getting help with your emotions.
Once you have a diagnosis you may find our Telephone Buddy Service helpful where you can be matched with someone who understands what you're going through, and they'll give you a weekly call.
