Hi all. I hope you’re all as well as can be.
I’m looking for some advice please. Bit of a long story so here goes
Mum, 60, diagnosed with stage 3A OC Jan 2019. 6 round of chemo and finished in July 2019 with ca125 of 13.
It has bounced about from 13 to now 19.
Anyway in Feb she had a scan because of some abdominal issues and pressure in her head and it was clear with a ca125 reading of 17.
My mum went back to the gp about the pressure in her head who wrote to the oncologist and a neurologist.
The oncologist said all was good but she would arrange another scan. My mum left it, this was April time, having only had a scan in Feb.
Anyway the scan place rang today and booked her in for this scan. It will be 3 months since the clear one in Feb. My mum is feeling the same as she has been, nothing getting worse.
What would you do? Go for the scan anyway or leave it and wait for the neurologist?
She is conscious of the radiation from the scan but doesn’t want to ‘look a gift horse in the mouth’ by refusing the scan?
Thanks in advance.
