I am 68 and in remission from oesephageal cancer. Last scan in January was very positive with no sign of malignancy. I do however have a 7mm nodule on my lung which although hasn't changed since the original PET scan in July 22 is being monitored... Since early March however I have had pain in my right hip, buttock and back. I did mention this to my consultant at my last telephone appointment in April and he said if it was anything it would show in scan. Before my actual scan i received a letter informing me that my next consultant appointment was July 23rd which seems a long time to wait for results. Am I being overly concerned about the pains, should I try to get an earlier appointment or would hospital inform me before 23rd July if there was anything sinister on scan.
