well i feel like i've had to do a lot of detective work , trying to figure out whether the big c has come back ! 8 weeks ago i had a vlear mri and a clear pet scan ( yipee) !!!and put into total remission . about 2 weeks ago i started feeling crappy again , alot more pain and pain when i'm sitting and going to the loo , also been getting a yellowy discharge which is quite unusual . so i spoke to the gyne nurse who has brought forward my 12 week check to next week with an mri for good measure . i also payed a visit to my gp who did a wee sample ( all clear on the tester stick ) but she sent it off anyway and she also did bloods and took a swab. the gp also did an internal exam which showed no lumps or bumps . since then i've had a call from the surgury to repeat the urine ( done) and a call today to say that my white blood count is low so i have to repeat the bloods too. now i'm thinking if the bloods are low then thats a good thing because maybe my body is fighting an infection which ok with me as long as its not fighting cancer ! also i'm thinking if the cancer was back in the vaginal ault then the gp would have felt a lump or bump ! but its all a worry because something is wrong and for the past 2 years when something has been wrong its been cancer :(
i'm also thinking that if i had a pet scan 8 weeks ago wouldn't that show if anything sinister was about to attack ?i thought thats what pet scans are for to give us fair warning ?..had a really bad day today ..gone into mental shut down ..everyones starting to panic again so that makes me panic ..
