I went for my ct and bone scan yesterday and some bloods before i saw the oncologist today it was a long day,first off to pathology with my little envelope and the letter from the oncologist[9.00am] got put straight thru[in case i catch anything in the waiting room] then into cafe for tea and a currant t cake.10.20 appt with isotope imaging to get the radioactive stuff put in then told to drink 2 pints of liquid and come back in 3 hrs[2 pm] had bone scan 20mins.went home then had to be back for ct scan 5.45pm drink 2 cups of something that tasted like pernod[yuk] wait 45 mins then have an injection toshow up veins and arteries etc 15mins in scanner and another 15mins wait to take cannula outupon which the nurse informed me that this one cannula could have been put in by bone scan lot and could have had it all done together thanks for that its those little touches that turns a stressful enough day into an over the top day 7.30pm finally got home.
Then 9.45 today had to be back to see my oncologist for results and[iwas told last week] would be starting chemo.
its amazing how we salvage things out of the depths when he told me my scans were clear it was almost like he had told me i was totally cured[for a while] then it was agreed chemo would start next wed so now at least i can think i have a good chance,talk about an emotional rollercoaster[stop i want to get off]

What a busy day you had! It's a shame about the canula, you almost wish the second lot hadn't told you as it wasn't helpful information at that time! At least you have until Weds to catch up with anything before starting your chemo. Sending you lots of positive thoughts and energy for next week.
hi ya horsewoman (the name attracted me as im also a bit of a gee gee freak) I can empathise with your dark days. Some times I feel like everything is folding in on me. I feel that family and friends are getting on with their lives which is only right but im standing still and cant get my feet or brain or emotions going in the same direction. Lets look on the bright side it must be there everyone keeps saying it ha ha luv lynne
I know that feeling everyone u see you are wondering what it would be like to not know u had cancer and go back to that "unknown state" its such a funny place to be in your own head.there is a brighter side today was a nice day weather wise so i went out in the field with my horse and gave him a bit of tlc[sadly lacking in the last few months] he is fed and watered but i miss the hours grooming daily and i am sure he does too he stood in the field without headcollar or being tied up while i gave him some tlc and he did the same for me i felt much better after that
I have been there and bought the t-shirt ha ha , i have had all the chemo and radio for a while but i seems never ending when you have to cope with it. keep you spirits up and all my thoughts go out to you.
