Mandy-k,

                    fear not, a CT scan does not involve any internal insertions.It involves lying upon a movable bed that passes through a  tall but narrow diameter ring that houses a scanner, imagine one that you would pass through at an airport and you are almost there. A dye is inserted into your vein through a small needle immediatley before the scan,that enables the scanner to pick up internal images in real time. You will feel a slight warm sensation as it goes in for a minute or two before it subsides to nothing.

It is a piece of cake compared to a invasive colonoscopy and is really nothing to feel overly concerned with.  l am well into double figures with these over the years and for the twenty minutes it takes from start to finish l regard as a rest break before l continue on where l left off. Hope the scan delivers a positive but non cancer diagnosis for you and you are able to move on with any treatment ,

                                                                                                                             Take care,

                                                                                                                                                 David
