My GP referred me under the cancer pathway for a CT scan. The plastics consultant also examined my right buttock (fatty tissue). He said everything was smooth and nothing looked sinister. Nothing was detected on the CT scan except my right buttock is firmer than my left one. I now have to have an MRI scan. The consultant is convinced it's not cancer but yet my MRI appointment is one week after seeing him. I'm worried that the MRI appointment has come through very quickly even though the consultant said I'm no longer priority. Also if he doesn't suspect cancer why am I needing an MRI.
