--about whether I go ahead and have done the CAT Scan of Chest/Abdo/Pelvis which the Neuro ordered for me 'as a parting test'? Results of the CT will go to my GP - not to her.

I have been sitting on this test for over two weeks and not had it done for several reasons.

1). I feel she was just trying to appease me by ordering it - not that I asked for it. She was so offhand about it like it was her way of getting me out of the office. It sounded like an afterthought.

2). Because she made me feel this PN and my symptoms were all in my mind, so I figured why have it done and spend all that money, when it will be ok anyway.

3). I don't particularly relish the idea of having a CT done.

Rationally I realise it is a great opportunity to have an almost full body check, which may (but unlikely) pick up something interesting!!! I have had the brain MRI done - thankfully normal. Perhaps my major hesitancy lies in the fact that another negative test may validate their opinion that there is nothing wrong with me. I know this is stupid, as I am cognitive to the fact that testing is a process of elimination.

Advice please!!!

Have taken the plunge and booked the chest/abdo/pelvis CT scan in for tomorrow. Really don't know how useful it will be seeing that the cancer marker tests, CA 125 and CEA, were both normal.

Has anyone had anything revealed from a similar CT (relating to PN)? Perhaps spinal? I really don't expect there to be anything!
