i have a friend who has cncer but she needs a c a t scan but she is too large for the machine?

My mother had lung cancer (she passed away in July) and was too large for the CAT scanner to. Mum didnt want the indignity of going to the zoo (I dont blame her) to be scanned so they just settled on doing X-rays. Im sorry that doesnt really answer your question, but if your friend is happy to go to the zoo then good luck to her and I hope she makes a full and speedy recovery.

There are many places who offer Open MRI's for the very large Instead of a Cat Scan. Simply ask the doctor if this is possible. She doesn't even have to lie down for it, They have ones where she can stand up, and it will move around her. There are plenty of options besides a typical CAT Scan.

use the machine in the LA zoo. My grandma passed away just over a week ago. hope your friend is okay.

Tell her to check out UAB (University of Alabama in Birmingham) Hospital in Birmingham, Alabama.

One hour of humiliation is better than dying. This is no time for putting self pride over health.

houston has the biggest medical center in the nation, you might try investigating the hospitals there.. actually they have md anderson cancer center, you should try and call..
