CT scan
My 6 month CT scan is this Wednesday. I hope all is still clear-- will combine the CT scan with a mammogram (routine). Anyway, thanks to all of you, I am doing really well emotionally as well as physically. I actually look forward to whatever the tests show. I"m more concerned about two rescue dogs I've gotten. recently. They have some health issues that need treatment. One little fellow has a MAST cell cancer that will be removed. I've lost two dogs in the past to this and hope this little guy--a Boston Terrier rescue named Bucky, does well. He will have surgery this coming Saturday. My other one--a collie mix of some sort namedTeddy will be treated for heartworms. My point in all of this is that I appreciate all the support from you and the advice--staying in the moment, being grateful, and knowing that I can "vent" when necessary. Will let you know the CT scan outcome by next week when I see my oncologist. Have a marvelous week all of you.

Hi @sumtybs, welcome to Mayo Connect. You would want to talk with your doctor about the safety of a CT scan while pregnant. Generally a CT of areas other than the abdomen or pelvis are safe. You would want to tell the radiology technologist that is performing the scan that you are/may be pregnant.
Do you have lung cancer, or fear that you do? Has a CT of the chest been ordered?
