CT Planning

I've had appointments where they ask me to put a gown (x-ray) on but for my MRI scan I kept my clothes on, I wore a sports bra which didn't have any metal, an over the head style with leggings and a dress.  

A long cardigan sounds like a good back up plan incase you need to wear a gown

I didn't have to change into a gown for either my planning appointment or my radiotherapy appointments. I just avoided anything with metal fastenings. But a long cardi sounnds like a good idea just in case xx

I didn't use gowns either - horrible things!  They make me more anxious as I get in a state trying to do them up and keep myself together!

just another thought, I had a line on my arm for my CT scan to deliver a contrast dye. and so its easier and more comfortable if you have loose or short sleeves under that long cardigan. Of course you don't need the contrast for you RT appointments xx

That’s a good point, thank you! I have been told I will be canulated so I think I’ll keep it casual and a loose t under the cardi!

I take a loose light weight dressing gown - hides a multitude of body parts :) x

One of the worst bits I remember is having to walk miles down hospital corridors to my operating theatre. It would have been disastrous if I had not had my dressing gown on, as the gown they gave me had lost the ties half way down!!!! It probably looked very bizarre at the back, but my dressing gown was long enough to cover my back side!
