Her insurance will not cover a ct scan. she is almost 5 years cancer-free and has found a lump on her breast.

Mamogram.: A Ct scan would not be the appropriate evaluation of a new breast lump. This should be imaged with mamogram, ultrasound followed by a biopsy. Follwoing these tests MRI may be warranted as well as CT scans.
