3 different scans ???

Hi,

After suffering for a couple of months with persistent Diarrhoea, gas and bloating plus losing a lot of weight without trying plus generally feeling unwell I have been contacted by the hospital Gastro Dept to say they have arranged a CT scan then 3 days later an Ultrasound and a still to be arranged Colonoscopy. Anyone heard of this before all 3 tests? Reason i ask is I'm now worried sick that its something serious.

Thanks for listening

  • Hi it does sound a lot, almost all at once.But I would imagine that it's more likely to be they way their particular system works. I have worked in some hospitals where they will complete one thing and then book another .Other hospitals think  let's get people booked for everything  and then cancel later if they don't need it.I know it's easy for me to say but I would try not to worry too much.

     

    Good Luck!
