Hi everyone, I'm going tomorrow to have a CT scan for marking up for radiotherapy, I'm so afraid of scanning machines though iv never had a CT scan before, can anyone tell me if all of my face will be inside the machine, 

  • 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, Slight smile

  • 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
