I have been having some abdominal pains, both on the right and left side, not really sharp pains but pains. I also have constipation for few days. I have had a abdominal x-ray and Cat Scan done. Results showed small mass on colon, but they are not sure what is it. Doctor wants to repeat scan. Is this cancer? How confident the results of the CAT scan are? All my blood work has come back normal.
Hello, I asked my friend radiologists about how confident are those results and he said that as far as cancer detection goes, the only 100% proof is in doing the pathology on a tissue sample. They can make mistake, so I am sure there is a good reason to repeat scan and check that mass on colon again. You should do the Colonoscopy.
