I am on a downward spiral again

Less than one minute read time.

I just need to let off some steam and have a quick rant and rave.

Had a really good day up  - hospital appointments and transport all ran smoothly - and then I had a call from my BC Nurse.

I felt fine until I mentioned that I had received my appointment for another CT scan for the shadow on my lung (Wednesday 11th November) which is the week after treatment finishes.

What if it is cancer - what if it is cancer caused by the breast cancer - does that mean all this treatment and stress I have been going through has all been in vain?  She explained it could be something else - but of course it is now impregnated in my mind. She has promised to follow up the scan and get the results as soon as possible.  I feel as if I am going through the initial diagnosis all over again.

Please someone - give me a shove up the spiral.

Thanks M x

    I will give you a shove my sweet if that is what you need. I had shadows on my liver and spleen and they turned out to be cycts but I thought oh great hasn't it gone into enough places already, so the usual is worry yourself sick, like we do and wait. Hope all goes well and you rant and rave all you want to and I for one wouldn't blame you.....love Carol x

  • Hi Marylin

    Oh dear. You have been doing so well lately.

    Take a deep breath and take one step at a time.

    Not long till the scan. Try not to worry about the things you cannot alter.

    As Carol says it may be nothing to worry about.

    We will get you through whatever.

    A loving kick up the arse for you.

    Lots of Love
