Making a mountain out of nothing?

[Cardcraft]

As I said in a previous post I had a slightly raised csa125 but as I know I have fibroid(s) I wasnt overly concerned - had MRI and got a call from a nurse at the hospital who said they wanted me to have a CT even though she said there was nothing suspicious. I asked why I needed it if there was nothing suspicious and she said they needed more info before deciding on what treatment. To be honest, I was meant to have a hysterectomy several years a go but my anxiety stopped me, so what treatment? BTW the scan showed fibroid and a cyst on an ovary.

Anyhow, at the end of the call she said "a bit of a random question but do you smoke?" I replied that I hadnt in 20 years and she said she asked because of the CT. Not sure what to make of that - do they ask you if you smoke before doing a CT??

Hi, I have to say I have never been asked if I smoked. Always being asked if I could be pregnant...... 58 and had a radical hysterectomy..... always makes me want to say something really sarcastic but I don't. Hope you get answers from your MRI and CT soon, Kathy xxx

Thank you for the reply.....I would want to say something sarcastic too - for people who have your health information at the tap of button you would think they would read it before asking silly questions!

Just had my letter arranging CT. They are wanting to scan my Thorax Abdomen and Pelvis.

Slightly concerned about the Thorax bit especially as she asked me if I smoked. Going to have stop my mind from going in to over drive.

My scan included thorax-maybe it is routine?

My scans usually include thorax. Di Ps I've never smoked

Thanks ladies for the replies - hearing you both had the same is reassuring. I suppose it makes sense especially when they do a physical on my tum they say it feels like a 40 week pregnancy.
