Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Cancer / May 2005Another question Steph
Just curious, from a technical standpoint, what is the reason for doing a ct scan after a gallium scan? I posted before about having a "hot" spot on my gallium scan. Doctor scheduled a ct scan which was normal. If it would have been abnormal what would they have found? I mean can it tell if a lymph node is enlarged or soemthign? > Just curious, from a technical standpoint, what is the reason for doing > a ct scan after a gallium scan?

Help me to understand. >I am just trying to understand. Help me to understand. I can't. You need a psychiatrist I wrote you this once,but I will repeat it.Gallium scan shows sites of inflammation.It picks up lymphoma,too.But how can you distinguish between lymphoma and inflammation if you get a hot spot on Gallium scan?By doing a CT.Your CT was normal,so there are not enlarged lymph nodes in your body=no lymphoma.If your CT had showed enlarged lymph node(which it hadn't),you would have probably undergone biopsy.Will you calm down finally and try to treat these panic attacks,not to mention hypochondria?Try to live your life,it is a short one,for everyone of us.Steph told you nicely to forget about everything,and he is a brilliant oncologist.But,you don't trust doctors,so why do you go to see them?Why are you asking Steph for explanation,if you don't believe what he says?If your doctors had a slightest suspicion you have cancer,you would be in hospital now. > Just curious, from a technical standpoint, what is the reason for doing > a ct scan after a gallium scan?

SO If not lymph nodes are "enlarged" then there is no cancer, right? Is this also true of non lymphoma cancer that begins somewhere else and ends up in the "lymph nodes"? So a ct can tell if there is cancer in the lymph nodes without actually "cutting" them out? Yes,lymph nodes are always enlarged in lymphoma.Sorry I wrote this,you obviously try to torment yourself and the rest of us.I will no longer reply to your posts whatsoever.Best wishes and goodbye. > See, tha thelps.
