My dad had a colonoscopy a couple of weeks ago and they found a 4cm tumour in the RHS of his bowel. He had a full body CT scan thereafter and the consultant said that they could see a spot on his liver and a few spots on his spleen and so instructed a PET scan to see if they are cancerous. It’s very rare for colon cancer to metastasise to the spleen unless cancer is widespread. Do PET CT scan results usually differ significantly to normal CT scan results? We’re so worried that the CT scan has missed more widespread cancer. He had his PET scan last week, MDT tomorrow. The wait for results is horrific.
It’s a horrible process for sure ! We were always fortunate in that regard as my mum's Pet scans never revealed anything the CT scans had not already uncovered ! Hope it’s the same for your dad !
