Results tomorrow...good or bad?

1 minute read time.

Well, it's results day tomorrow.

I finished chemo in about August. I had a CT and a PET scan in September, and got the results, which werent great. (See my blod titled 'Not great news at appointment yesterday).

EVen though I was PET positive, and one tumour had grown, they decided to leave me till the end of November, when I would have another scan. (30th November).

Now to me...when the cancer has grown whilst i've been on chemo....it's most likely going to grow in the time i've NOT had any treatment - which is nearly 3 months! (I know that isn't always the case, but thats how I see it)

I've been having lots of pain, and the Dr at the hospice I go to tried to get my scan brought forwards, but my consultant & secretary ignored my request, and ignored the Hospice Dr's calls and faxs - I'm really miffed at this, as my consultants are always telling me if you have a problem, ring us, and we'll bring your appointment forward etc.

Well, I had my CT scan on 30th November, and the results are tomorrow. We've had one good piece of news, which is that my sister is a good match for my Stem Cells, so when I'm eventually well enough to have my transplant, she will be the donor.

The dr's have said I need to be in remission before I have the SCT, but they just don't know how to get me there :(

Lets hope tomorrow brings some good news.....

        Hi Hevver

        Fingers crossed for tomorrow.  I hope the results don't show any more growth.

        But it's great news your sister is a match, mine wasn't but they managed to find me a donor from Germany.

        They said to me, that they PREFER you to be in remission  when they do the SCT but said that they would do it even if I wasn't.

        Obviously every case is treated differently, but you never know.

        Well take care and try to sleep tonight.
