Dangers of CT scans

Hi

Whenever I have a CT I am advised that I understand the risks!

Obviously I don't want my cancer to return or do anything to cause it in the future.

I feel like I'm between a rock and a hard place!

What to do for the best.....

    Like most medical tests, there are some possible risks but your doctor/medical team would make sure the benefits of having a CT scan outweigh these risks.

    If you'd like to talk this through with someone please don't hesitate in giving our cancer nurses a call on 0808 800 4040 (Monday - Friday between 9a.m -5p.m) as they're very insightful and will do all they can to work through your concerns with you and hopefully put your mind at ease.
