Not bad at all!

Less than one minute read time.

Well that will teach me for jumping the gun.  My scan was absolutely fine and I can just carry on with the Herceptin for at least the next 3 months.  I got in to the Drs office and she asked how I'd been feeling and if I was concerned about anything...so I mentioned the 'lumps' I had felt.  She told me nothing new had shown on the scan and that she would have a feel anyway.  She examined me thoroughly all along my collarbone and neck and said it felt fine to her, then she showed me the CT images and I could clearly see myself that there was nothing there.  She did say that it could be where I have lost weight and sometimes you feel things that have been there all along eg a prominent vein or muscle or something.  I said I felt really silly because I had been so convinced and she said that its very common for people to be like that.  I have promised myself that next time I will try to relax and not be so quick to assume the worst.  Next scan in November.

    Hi Chrissie,  I'm so glad your scan results were good!  I have done exactly the same as you in the past - gone to get results convinced that the pain I've been having is a new tumour, or the existing ones have quadrupled in size or something.  And there's nothing new (or bigger) there.  But it's pretty conclusive when its the middle of the night and you are in pain, isn't it?  

    Now you can thoroughly enjoy the rest of summer and autumn!

    Long may it continue, love Jeanie x

  • I think we all put our imaginations into overdrive when we have scans so you're not alone! So relax now and enjoy the rest of the summer.

    Best wishes,
