I didn't realise at the time when the consultant and nurses talked about doing a CT TAP (CT scan of Thorax, Abdomen and Pelvis) that it was a staging scan i.e. what stage is the cancer at? Off I went to Radiology. There's a form to fill out every time you get a CT scan that's unchanging. It mostly concerns allergies (particularly to contrast dye) as well as cardiac issues. The scanner is rather ominous but the radiology staff are kind and it doesn't take too long for the scan. It does take about a week for the scan to be read though. Once that was out of the way it was a wait before going back to see the GI consultant.
