Kelangan ba ng CT scan buong katawan para makita kung may Lymphoma cancer

May kulani daw po ung asawa ko sa batok. Sabi po naman ay canser po na lymphoma. Nag pa CT scan naman po sya at biopsy. Bakit ngayon di pa po makuha kung ano po talagang sakit ng asawa ko?

Ngayon kaylangan daw pa po ung buong katawan na pa CT scan.


Translation: My husband has swollen lymph node on his nape. The doctor said that he has lymphoma cancer. He had CT scan and biopsy taken. But now, they want to have his whole body CT scanned. Don't they have enough info already from previous CT scan? Why do they have to repeat it?

Hi Lyn. Ang CT Scan po sa buong katawan ay ginagawa para ma check at makita kung may mga swelling lymph nodes pa ba sa ibang parte ng katawan ng asawa niyo.
