Hi, 

I just wanted to ask a question about the reason behind requesting a scan.  I'm nine years post menopause and, following a second event of post menopausal bleeding in a year, an endometrial biopsy found I have non atypical hyperplasia of the endometrium.  A scan at the same time however identified an enlarged ovary measuring 10cm.  I was told that, given my history, that a hysterectomy would be my best option going forward. I also had an elevated CA125 reading of 83.  Why then, when surgery is pretty much the way forward, would a full scan of Thorax, abdomen and pelvis with contrast be required?

Thanks in advance.

JM
