Well tomorrow is the day for the trouth.

1 minute read time.
Well only 24 hours to go to ‘til I get the results from all those tests and the CT scan. It is really playing on my mind now! I did not get a lot of sleep last night. I went for a walk in the early hours only to be approached by a Community Support Officer duo who interrogated me on my reasons for wondering around at 4am. Then they suggested that they should ensure that I got home safely. I am certain they really only wanted to check I lived where I said. Any way the walk did not help that much but the interrogation took my mind off the results problem for a while. So there inquisitiveness did some good. I suppose I should be glad that they were on the job. I have my list of questions ready for the “Quack” hope the answers I get are the ones that I am looking for. Do any of you out there know what treatment is normally given to patents with Lymphoma Hodgkin when lumps, cysts etc., have not been detected by external examination? I don’t know if the scan has detected any yet or even where else in the body they can be found. Can anyone help?

    Christine,

    Thanks for the reply. I did not really expect non clinicians or even clinicians of whom I am not a patent to comment. Just needed to get it off my chest. I, like most of us who are effected, I assume, find this scourge frightening. Just to know that some one out there reads the blogs and cares enough to reply is a big boost. I will post the outcome.

    Hi Malcolm

    I'm sorry I have no knowledge of Hodgkins at all so cant comment on that but just wanted to let you know I was thinking of you and can imagine that the waiting around awful. At times like these you need people around you to share your thoughts and find comfort. Arent the police amazing ..always there when you dont want them and never there when you do ! Still I suppose its good to know they are out and about in the middle of the night

    I hope you get some good results tomorrow and can then move forward with treatment and your life

    Good Luck

    Hi Malcol, just to let you know I will be thinking of you too.

    It is hard waiting for results - I found it unbearable. Got my results yesterday and it was not want I wanted to hear.

    The fact that they know the results and there was I working myself into a state in the waiting room - waiting for my name to be called.

    I know what you are going though.

    Take care
