Further tests

Hi .mel28 I had both of these and from reading others posts on here, it seems fairly standard. It’s to see if there is any spread to other parts of the body. As difficult as it might be, please try not to be alarmed by this - your medical team are being thorough and working to put together the best treatment plan for you.

Best wishes xx

Thank you.  I think because they are after my op I was a bit alarmed and my husband has been trying to reassure me it would be standard procedures.  It just so hard at the.moment x

I had them after my op because they found one positive node not shown on the ultrasound.  They are staging scans, and some areas do MRI instead of the CT scans,  but I think that thr nuclear bone scan it always done as it's the commonest area of spread. Did they find a positive node?

Yes I had a positive lymph node biopsy x

Hi .mel28

I had a bone scan and a CT Scan as part of the investigation into my cancer. I also had them after my operation because I had some cancer left in my nodes. Luckily they showed that my cancer hadn’t spread.

Best wishes
