What should I expect from my first scan after colorectal cancer diagnosis?

First scans after diagnosis can feel overwhelming, but they provide important information to help your medical team create the best treatment plan for your specific situation. Many people in this community have shared that knowing what to expect - like the scan process itself and timeline for results - helped them feel more prepared, so feel free to ask your care team any questions that come to mind before your appointment.

I was told this past Tuesday that I had a mass in my ascending colon and it was cancer. I’m waiting on a referral to Mayo in Jacksonville Florida.
