Guest guest Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 After reading the recent posts on PET and CT scans, I'm now concerned about having a scheduled CT scan. I recently had some blood work done and the results were that I'm mildly anemic and have an elevated CA-125 (tumor marker for ovarian cancer). I had these tests done due to some recent health issues. Lower back pain, tiredness, digestion problems, constipation, dizzyness, circulation issues. I have been scheduled for a vaginal ultrasound and a CAT scan. They will be looking at my ovaries, kidneys and other organs and female reproductive system. What can I expect with the CAT scan? What is the procedure, exactly and, since this would be my first, what are the risks, if any? Any thoughts or feedback welcome. I'm 45 years old and my mother was diagnosed in Aug '08 with Stage IV Ovarian Cancer. Thanks, Rose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
