hi i had a ct scan done on the 8th of November today i got my letter with my appointments for my bcg treatment and also another letter to go for a ct scan on the 4th of February is this normal to get a ct scan three months later and how often do you get a scan
CT scan are done because they give a good image especially with contrast medium on parts that can't be seen. I'd Hazzard s guess that CT scans are done more regularly if it's muscle invasive as opposed to NMI.
I'm trying to think now if I've had 2 CT scans or just one. You would think I'd know the answer really to that. I am pretty sure I've had 2 since my journey started in May 24. I'm almost certainly it's been twice now. Then again I've spent that much time at appointnrnts or the hospital now it all seems blurry now.
But CT scans can be used to keep an eye on things like the cystocopy or ultra sound etc, but cystocopy is the preferred route for bladder cancer as it is very easy to spot inside on the camera.

Just read some of my posts on here and yes I have had a second CT scan, but that is I presume a yearly check up since my precious one, although I mentioned it in relation to being booked in for the Mitomycin so possibly par for course ahead of some treatments.
