On December 2nd I has my regular diabetes review. Because I wasn't my usmy chest sounds werebual optimistic self, the nurse referred me to a GP as a matter of urgency. The doc referred me for a chest xray, even though the chest sounds we're clear & heart sounds normal & chest sounds clear. This triggered a CT scan the following day and a consultant appointment on Tuesday. He said there's a mess of rubbish near one of my lungs, so I'm having an EBUS biopsy tomorrow, brain scan on Monday & a PET scan on Xmas eve.
I'm terrified and finding it difficult to stay strong while we don't have any answers.
Sorry for offloading, but I had nowhere else to do it!
Happy Christmas everyone! Yesterday it was confirmed I have cancer, but they think it is treatable. Further tests are being carried out on the biopsy to establish if it's lung or breast (from 20 years ago) & I will find out next Wednesday. At least I now have a rough idea what 2026 looks like!
Oddly enough, I found a white feather on the way into the appointment & another on the way out!
