  • I recently got the results of my PAC and MRI scans on the 13th December everything was clear and no cancer, got to go back in three months.  Tonight Tuesday 17th December had some fresh blood on loo paper not much.  Should I get in touch with my oncologist?  Many thanks

  • Hi Shush1953.

    Thanks for getting in touch and welcome to our online community. My name is Sherrye and I’m one of the Cancer Information Nurse Specialists on the Macmillan Support Line.

    I can see you’ve joined one of our cancer forums I do hope you are finding it an informative and support place.

    I very glad to hear that your recent scans are clear of cancer, and you’re rebooked for 3 months’ time.

    I’m sorry to hear that you had some fresh blood yesterday, this understandably must have been worrying for you.

    At Macmillan Cancer Support with any new, worsening or changing symptoms such as the presence of blood we’d always suggest contacting your medical team or GP for an assessment.

    This could be nothing to worry about but it’s always best to be on the safe side and keep your medical team informed.

    I hope this information helps. Please feel free to get back in touch if you want more information or support.

    Best wishes,

    Sherrye H,

    Cancer Information Nurse Specialist
