Hi all,
I've my planning ct scan for rads tomorrow. I'm just wondering what I should expect and how long I'll be in for? Will I meet with radiation oncologist or someone from the rads team or is it just that I'm in for the scan and then head home? Trying to decide if I'll bring hubbie with me, he'd have to take the morning off work and there's no point if it's just a scan. I don't know how many sessions I'm due to have, will I find out tomorrow or later?
Tia!

Thanks Wicklowlady, you were correct, there was no need to bring him. Just a simple scan and my three tiny tattoos. I should hopefully be starting rads in just over 2 weeks, all going well!
Have you already seen your radiation oncologist? No I wouldn't bother getting your husband to go with you it's very straightforward and they mark you with tint tattoos (tip of a biro mark) very painless. I had 33 sessions but got through it grand and that's a year ago. I can't remember did I see the oncologist the day of the scan, don't think so, saw him before that. Best of luck
