CT Scan

Hi, many of us have CT scans to check for "spread" - a so-called staging CT. I think if you have a large tumour or lymph nodes or a fast growing one or any combination of these you will get a CT.  They just scan you from neck to the the tops of your legs. Also, most of these scans are clear, but that doesn't stop us worrying about them. Hope your scan goes well. One of the hardest parts for most of us is waiting for all the biopsies, scans and so on that our consultants need in order to make the best decision about our cancer treatment. Once we have a plan, most of us find it much easier. I really hope your scan goes well and that you get your plan soon xx

Hi, I was worried sick about the CT scan as I thought it meant spread, but it's routine for lumps of a certain size.  Hope you get an appointment and results soon, I found waiting was the worst.  Good luck
