Good luck with everything. Sometimes the pain is referred pain. Although 2 months is a long time between scan and surgery. I am not sure if your dr. is the same but my does a surgery where he can see the cancer in real time while he's cutting (no need for a up to date CT). Working off a 2 month old scan is like flying with out updated flight traffic information. If it were a week old that would be okay... Is he sending you for a second scan?

Anyway hugs and best of luck.
