Hello. I've just joined this forum. I'm a cancer warrior. I was diagnosed in January 2017. I had a strawberry sized tumour which was ER +. I've had chemo, lumpectomy with full anxillary node clearance and radiotherapy.
I've got lymphodeama and have also developed arthritis. I was fit and active before my diagnosis - riding my bike 12.5 miles every day. I've put 3 stone on too, but I just can't stick to a diet. I'm depressed with it all.
My gp has referred me to the gastro consultant at the local hospital, who has ordered CT Thorax + abdo + pelvis with contrast to investigate my unexplained left-sided pain.
I'm not worried about what they find, i don't think it's sinister. I'm just wondering if I'll have to get naked for this - or can I wear loose-fitting clothes? And what's the contrast for and where do they inject it?
Thanks for letting me join. Thanks for helping me! xxx
