Private CT scan?

If you can afford it, then go for it! I pay privately for eye treatment as waiting times with NHS are just not an option when you have eye pain through glaucoma and macula issues. Also it's good yo get instant results to out your mind at ease. I wish you well x

I don't know how easy it is to get one,  and I'd say that there is the radiation issue (2 years worth?),  and the fact that an MRI might give more detail.  I had a private one about 8 years ago with Spire, which have me tingling in my legs (PN?), a horrible taste in my mouth and I felt unwell after. 

I know how you feel. I have also asked for scans but been told ‘no evidence to suggest a scan warranted and over exposure to radiation not recommended in term of best clinical practise’. However of course someone will always take money for a scan. It’s a hard one as I worry that whilst there is no evidence - has enough evidence been looked for??? But then do you just keep on having scans as the worry of ‘floaty bits’ might always be there?

I don’t know the best way to proceed bit I have just listened to a very interesting podcast that has talked about the effectiveness of Capecitabine for ‘mopping up’ floaty bits. (They didn’t call it that) but to use your words.

Thank you! You too x

Thank you for your reply and that's basically the same as I was told. Decided not to go ahead and what will be will be!

Thanks again
