Would Cancer Of The Blood Or Bones Show Up On CT Scans?
I was just treated last year for stage 4 colon cancer and I have cat scans every three months now. I am having one tomorrow and I was wondering if they say I have a clean scan is that 100 percent certain? Would cancer of the blood or bones show up in CT scans?
