I had a CT scan of pelvis, abdomen, and chest last Wednesday.
I was particularly worried since I hadn't had a chest scan since before I started chemo. The radiologist faxed the report to the wrong number at the clinic, so after a long weekend, finally got the results this morning and all clear.. No sign of cancer. So very thankful. I am almost three years out from the routine colonoscopy that found my cancer....I hope to keep the NED streak going for many, many years to come.
Something my doctor mentioned at my visit last week... That there is a growing consensus for fewer scans .. that the radiation and contrast isn't good for the patient and that frequent scans don't increase life span. Has anyone else heard that? I am only scanned once a year as it is. I don't know how I feel about being scanned less. I do hate the scans... My stress was pretty significant. Hemp gummies got me through.
