Bobert,

The usual test for colon cancer is a hemoccult test for blood in the stool and, if there is blood, a colonoscopy. A CAT scan is not usually done for this purpose. There may be some special reason to do a CAT scan, of course. But please ask the doctor specifically why it is being done. I would hate for you to get it done and then find out that you still needed a colonoscopy anyway. Keep us informed. I'll be praying for you. PM me if you have anything general you want to ask me. (Of course, I couldn't answer specific questions because I haven't examined you, but I'll be glad to help if I can.)
