CT SCAN

I had a CT scan 4 weeks ago came back as satisfactory with one lymph node, retest in 2 weeks. Colon cancer 20 years ago, stage 4. If CT scan is satisfactory why the retest scan was with contrast? Very anxious and scared 69 year old male. Anyone had similar?

  • Hello BAseball27

    I'm sorry to hear that you've been asked to do a retest following your most recent CT scan. It's understandable that you're feeling anxious about why this is. 

    It may be something as simple as the team wanted to check this node again in 2 weeks to see if it has settled down again. 

    We know that waiting for tests and results can be a difficult time. If you want to chat things through with one of our nurses you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm excluding bank holidays. 

    Do let us know how you get on. 

    Best wishes,
