My visitor is a stage 3, diffuse b cell lymphoma. The first we noticed it had come to visit was after an exray in August.
From there I had a contrasting CAT scan on September 1st. This showed a small mass in the middle of my chest. My lungs are perfect thank goodness. It recommend I have a PET scan, an ebus and to see someone in respiratory.
I had my PET scan on September 20th.
The staff at Clatterbridge scanning department, where friendly and talked me through each step of the process.
My first appointment with Dr Whabi a respiratory consultant, on September 21st. He referred me for the ebus procedure.
Things move fast when you get sent to hospital on a fast track referral.
I'm used to having endoscopes so I wasn't to fussed with the ebus.
On September 26th, I get the dreaded call to say following the PET scan, they found something in my nose and I was being fast tracked to ENT.
I'm a little worried now.
Had my ebus on September 28th.
Things where going great till I starred coughing. I'm coughing a lot more than usual these days.
They had to give me more sedative to calm me as I panicked and thought I couldn't breath.
Appointment with ENT was October 4th. The doctor said he didn't think there was anything to worry about, that's good news. He referred me for a nose biopsy.
October 5th I sore Dr Whabi. There no results yet of cause. He told mW they where looking for lymphoma and some other things which I don't remember.
Dr Whabi has fast tracked me to Liverpool Heart & Chest hospital.
Well its October 11th and that means nose biopsy day.
The fast track scheme seems to be working well.
