Hello Today I found out I have womb Cancer

Hello, and welcome to the forum (although sorry you have to be here). 

Have you had a CT scan before ?  As they'll be scanning your lower half, I think your head will be well outside the machine so it shouldn;t be that claustrophobic. 

Hi Linda, 

Sorry to hear your news.  Re the CT scan, I found this a breeze compared to having a hysteroscopy…mine was combined with PET scan  I didn’t find it that enclosed, and at any point in time could look out at the rest of the room.  

Sorry to hear your news. I was diagnosed in July this year and am having hormone treatment at the moment. The worst part is the waiting for results etc....but try to keep busy and it will soon pass. I take each day at a time, baby steps and try not to think about it all the time. It's hard but does get easier! Sending good wishes to you.

I coped with hysteroscopy ..gas and air forgot how good it was .. PET scan not had one ..yet!!

Hi Linda, just wanted to reassure you that the CT scanner is like a giant polo with a lot of space between you and it - the MRI is the one that is more tube like, and more likely to lend itself to claustrophobia (which I combatted btw by wearing an eye mask).if your pelvic area Is being CT scanned both your head and legs will be out as the machine is not very long. If that makes sense!
