Mum's GP would like her to have a CT scan to confirm whether breast cancer is spreading to her brain, or whether her symptoms are due to dementia. He says that this will have a bearing on the way she is treated. Could anyone tell me what the difference in treatment might be?
Mum is 91, and is fit and active for her age, but a CT scan will mean a ferry journey and a very long and tiring day (we stopped attending the Macmillan clinic at the start of this year for that reason). She has delusions a lot of the time, and I'm worried that a day in hospital will make this worse.
