It seems that a large part of our lives on this cancer journey involves waiting, waiting in hospitals as the appointment system fails, waiting for treatment in said hospital, waiting for tests and then the long wait for their results. And yes, I am waiting for my scan results to come through in the hope that my cancer hasn't decided to spread further. But I am also seeing how it feels with the shoe on the other foot in that added to my waiting list is waiting for the results of tests my husband has had. Routine blood tests showed elevated liver functions, so of he was sent to have an ultrasound on his abdoment which showed a tangled mass of blood vessels that shouldn't be there.... "but some people are born with these extra vessels. However we better do another scan" We thought he was going to have a CT scan but he had an MRI on Monday. So now we wait for the results. And as if that isn't enough, the poor man is in agony with a really bad knee. He is to have a cortisone injection in it, but cannot have this until the liver investigations have been completed , as ,apparently, the cortisone can have effects on the liver. So it is waiting for this , waiting for that and waiting for the other! Well I can manage my own waiting, but when you are waiting on behalf of another.........
