CT thorax abdo & pelvis

Hi 

I have completed chemo for early breast cancer, had a lumpectomy & start radiotherapy next week 

my oncologist says something showed up on my liver during my CT scan for radiotherapy planning - nothing to worry about could just be a cyst but now iv got an appt for a CT thorax, abdo & pelvis with contrast 

im so scared - does this sound like they’re looking for spread ?

  • Hello there

    I am so sorry we haven't got back to you sooner, and hope your radiotherapy went ok.

    I don't know whether you have had the CT scan and what the results showed but I have to say regardless of your outcome, if something unusual is picked up on a scan the doctors usually like to investigate further just to make sure it isn't cancer. In many cases it won't be as things like liver cysts are common and don't normally cause any problems for people but when someone has had cancer they like to be sure.

    Do get back if you need to and once again I am so sorry your question didn't come straight to us when you first posted.

    Best wishes

    Naomi
