CT Scans

I had a CT scan 5 years ago and everything was fine, recently lost  a few pounds and was considering another  CT abdominal scan. My question is can anything change in just five years, aslo had a ct Scan six years ago and an ultra sound four years ago.

I'm just a worrier.

Hello and thank you.

I was mostly concerned about the pancrease and liver, but understand that things don't really change in just four years. At least that's what I think I read.

Our weight will fluctuate up to 5 lbs, so if it's only a few pounds I wouldn't worry.  If you're not feeling well, or are having pain then that's different and you should see your doctor.  You're one year away from having to have regular colonoscopies, it's okay if you want to have it a little earlier if just to ease your mind.  I hope this helps and best wishes.
