DH has been having some on-going health issues (severe diarrhoea, abdominal pain, passing blood) which have been going on for about 6 months.

He has had a colonoscopy which was clear apart from a few polyps and his bloods were fine. The consultant decided it was severe IBS but sent him for a CT scan a few weeks ago.

This took place but we've never had the results so assumed all was fine.

Got home tonight and he's got a letter asking him to attend an ultrasound scan in 2 weeks time. No explanation and no one has contacted him regarding his CT scan results.

Now I am really worried that they have picked something up on the CT Scan and want to follow up with the ultrasound but I thought this sequence of tests would usually be the other way around.

Obviously he's going to ring his consultant in the morning but now I am really worried that there's something wrong that has shown up on the CT scan. On the other hand maybe it's just a follow up.

Does anyone know why they might request an ultrasound AFTER at CT scan and what they could be looking for :(

Great news and the lovely medical peeps who commented were correct

His CT scan was clear but there's a possibility of a small cyst on his kidney which they want to look at with the ultrasound

Thank you all Thanks
