Fortunately using all my concentration I managed to complete the scan, I really didn’t want to abort it and have to have another! I feel ok now but it will be early July before I get the results.

Hope all went well for you and your son today.

Re: Chemotherapy
Sorry to intrude, what is the difference between a CT scan, and an MRI?I am a little stressed today, and I can't remember what the consultant is sending my son for. All I can think of is CT scan, is that for internal problems of the bowls etc. Sorry, I am so muddled today.

Re: Chemotherapy
Sweetie, I know it doesn’t help but I would be exactly the same, but I soon get stressed.To be honest I don’t know what the difference is between a CT scan and an MRI. I’ve had both, the one yesterday (CT) was lungs, stomach and bowel, so you’re probably right with internal problems. Perhaps Ffosse can throw more light on this.

Re: Chemotherapy
A CT scan uses x-rays and an MRI uses magnetism and radio pulses. The images on an MRI are likely to be far more detailed than a CT scan but hospitals still use both as a means of looking for abnormal material.https://www.medscape.org/viewarticle/478330
