If the doctor suspects that your cancer is advanced, you'll probably have to have other tests to look for cancer spread. A plain x-ray of your chest may be done to see if cancer has spread to your lungs. The CT scan is an x-ray procedure that creates detailed, cross-sectional images of the inside of your body. For a CT scan, you lie on a table while X-rays are done.
Instead of taking one picture, like a standard x-ray, a CT scanner takes many pictures as the camera rotates around you. A computer then combines these pictures into an image of a slice of your body. The machine will take pictures of many slices of the part of your body that's being studied. CT scans are not used to diagnose endometrial cancer. But they can help see if the cancer has spread to other organs and to see if it has come back after treatment.
MRI scans use radio waves and strong magnets instead of x-rays. The energy from the radio waves is absorbed and then released in a pattern formed by the type of tissue and by certain diseases. A computer translates the pattern of radio waves given off by the tissues into a very detailed image of the inside of the body. This creates cross sectional slices of the body like a CT scanner and it also makes slices that are parallel with the length of your body.
MRI scans are very helpful for looking at the brain and spinal cord. Some doctors also think MRI is a good way to tell whether, and how far, the endometrial cancer has grown into the body of the uterus. MRI scans may also help find enlarged lymph nodes with a special technique that uses very tiny particles of iron oxide.
These are given into a vein and settle into lymph nodes where they can be spotted by MRI. In this test radioactive glucose sugar is given to look for cancer cells. Because cancers use glucose sugar at a higher rate than normal tissues, the radioactivity will tend to collect in the cancer. A scanner can spot the radioactive deposits. Now I am wondering if taking that extra folic acid is causing part of the problem.

However, according to science , a pound of muscle and a pound of fat weigh the same. The difference between the two is density. Two things that weigh the same can be very different in size. A pound of marshmallows is going to take up much more space than a pound of steel.
The same is true with fat and muscle. A pound of fat is bulky, fluffy, and about the size of a small grapefruit. A pound of muscle is hard, dense, and about the size of a tangerine. Not all pounds are created equal. Two different people who weigh the same amount can look very different when one has a high percentage of fat and the other has a high percentage of muscle.
An extra 20 pounds of fat may give you a softer, less toned appearance.
