That could be me. We were in a gift shop.

Hi Amb

Sorry to hear about your worries. To be fair, the radiographer will not be able to tell you much as it's not their place to do so. 

I hope you get your answers soon, have you got any appointments? 

Best wishes.

The sculpture? There's lots of images on line... 'Gan Canny' is it's title

The Vaux drey and horses. The man seated is Eddie. Worked with them for years and also did competitions including abroad such as the fish run in France where he was made an honorary 'fireman'.

Cheers 

Welcome. Please take a long, deep, gentle breath...

Of course you are worried and fearful and feel very much in the dark and at a loss.

You have come to a good place to start shining a light on your situation and to start to get to grips with the journey you are on.

It is a pity no one has yet talked you through possibilities and next steps but to be fair, we can be so tense in appointments we don't always hear or follow what is said and we forget all the things we wanted to ask.

So it is helpful if someone can be with you, to help remember and question. If that's not possible, a note book to jot down questions before hand and anything that is said while you are there.

Staff understand that people are confused, upset and in shock.

Our medical investigations, diagnosis and treatment can involve lots of different types of staff and as Sbird said, some technical staff like radiologists are not able to discuss findings and outcomes with us.

Do you have your next appointment already scheduled? If not, do you have a contact number you can call to find out?

Do you have any other support? Family or friends?

There is a wealth of information and understanding among the wonderful people here on the forum who have gone through or are going through their own journey or supporting a loved one through theirs.

The forum is divided into different types of cancers etc and this bit right here is for people who find themselves awake at silly o'clock.

Of course it is fine to keep talking here.

Cheers
 

Evening Amb, and welcome from me too, sweetheart.

I'm hoping you're already feeling a little better, now you know you're not alone, and the great advice from Helen and Shimmer has also, hopefully, given you a boost.

Sweetie, if you feel having a chat here will help then we're all ears. Oh, and does your August birthday mean you're a Leo  or another sign that I can't think of right now?

Come back anytime you like as there are usually a few night owls putting in a late shift. Big hugs my lovely xxx

Hugs yes it I'm August thank you my ️  xxxx

Hi again Amb. How are you feeling now hon? You don't need to tell me anything you don't want to, but do you have someone with you now, or would you prefer a chinwag here? xxx

I'm alone I goy my other scab Thursday and a app with mcmillan doc end of month x
