hello my lovely friends I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2014 I’m happy to say I had my operation, treatment and medication and got discharged from hospital this year in February. Last year I was diagnosed with COPD 6 weeks ago I had a CAT scan on my heart and lungs and was told I had to have a PET scan I went for scan and got the shock of my life as it was at a cancer unit I go for my results on the 16th of May and now I’m thinking my cancer is back but some where else like in my lungs am I just over reacting? Do you just have a PET scan for cancer? As I never really tuck anything in when I had breast cancer I just switched off about it so I don’t understand much about cancer because I just pretended it was not real? I’m not intelligent I’m just worried my cancer is back and I have to start all over again love Yvonne xx

Hello Yvonne17, sorry no one has replied to you. You will have had your results by now. I do hope you had good news and it was not what you feared. Do let us know, xx

Onwards and flatwards (don't do hills) and keep walking if you can!

Hi Yvonne17,

I've just seen your post. I'm sorry no one replied earlier. You'll have had your PET scan results by now n I hope u had good news. I've only ever had CT and MRI scans so not sure re use of PET scans. Here's a link from the main site with more info :://www.macmillan.org.uk/information-and-support/diagnosing/how-cancers-are-diagnosed/tests-and-scans/pet-scan.html

The worst thing is the waiting n the unknown. I've been living with cancer for 14 years, so I speak from experience!

If it is cancer, u can get support from the online community here n also on the phone from the Macmillan team :

0808 808 0000 7 days/week, 8am to 8pm.

Best wishes

Fear of the unknown is the worst thing. Once we know what we're facing, we find the strength to deal with it.
