Hi Tonya, here's my 2 cents worth, and all I know about it. When my wife, Nicola, had CT scans done, it was for specific areas, i.e.-chest, abdomen, pelvic area. She drank the barium, had the dye? injected and had the scan. They never Ct'ed her whole body. When she had bone scans, they injected the dye, we had to wait 2 hours, and then the bone scan illuminated her whole skeletal system, so we looked at it like even if you have an unsuspected met in your little toe, it would show up. I just don't know if they CT scan your whole body that way if they already know where the cancer is, I don't know, maybe they can and do. But with the bone scan, I was able to sit right there with the tech. as the scan was done, and see the whole skeleton on the computer screen. Hope I made some kind of sense. I guess we just felt reassured having different types of testing done. Thoughts and prayers to you, Bill
