My uncle had a ct scan done three weeks ago thankfully his nodes had shrunk , yesterday we found a lump on his back checked on him today and seemed to gone bigger shall i wait til monday to contact his nurse or shall i do it before then
Ring the helpline n ask them 0808 808 0000. Quickest way probably of getting an answer.Rather than fretting all weekend.
Hi , sorry to hear your concerns.
If your uncle has any concerns he should always call his team........ but I see you posted the same question, on another thread under a tittle of Leukaemia, and you say that a CT showed his nodes had shrunk. If he is going through treatment for Leukaemia, nodes will go up and down during treatment.
We do have lots of support groups that are Cancer specific including a few specific Leukaemia Forums and also ones that are general Cancer experience groups.
Follow the links above and join any of the groups by hitting the ‘Join the Group’ tab just under the main group name and it is worth indicating how you want to receive email notifications when someone answers your posts.
Go to the 'Start a Discussion' tab just under the main group name and set up your own Discussion and introduce yourself to the group - you could just copy an paste what you have in this first post.
