Marking up Scan

I'm sorry to read about your fears of scanning machines. Did you have a CT scan when you had your original diagnostic tests?

I had one done & went in head first, it was a large tunnel & not at all claustrophobic.

When you arrive for your appointment tomorrow explain everything to the RT team who I'm sure will be very understanding & helpful.

My CT Mapping scan is on Tuesday afternoon, the day after you.

Stay safe & take great care of yourself.

Thank you for your reply, iv never had a CT scan, I'm feeling a bit relieved now that you are telling me that it's not claustrophobic, good luck to you on Tuesday afternoon as well, take care, 

Hi 

Please don’t be worried about the planning ct scan.

Radiotherapy scanners are what they call wide bore scanners ie they have a bigger hole in the middle to accommodate patients who have to have their arms up so they are not at all claustrophobic 

good luck tomorrow 

Exraygirl, thank you for reply, I'm so glad to hear that CT scanners aren't claustrophobic, wish I had of asked for advice a few days ago it would have helped me to stop being so nervous about it, 

Hi ladies, just a wee update, I went for my CT mapping scan today and couldn't believe how quick and easy it was, and the staff were really lovely, I think I must have been overthinking it all to much. 

Whoop whoop …. So happy that it went well for you

Onwards and upwards! X
