Hi all. Hope everyone is doing ok? I had my six month scan in august and waited eight weeks for the results! Seemed like a lifetime. I got a call from the colorectal nurse, at my local hospital, to say nothing significant found and an enlarged lymph node previously there hadn’t grown. A scan was to be booked for three months. All good..
Two days later my oncologist called me to say the scan had been through the MDT at their hospital and the radiologist there wasn’t happy and wanted me to have a Pet scan and MRI. She’s told me not to worry but of course I am. Pet scan booked for tomorrow. My journey started this time last year. Feels like it’s dejavu x
Hello Clarhedge
I am so sorry to hear of this, it must be such a worry for you. The only good thing to come out of all of this is that they are keeping a very close eye on you and are doing all the follow-up scans very quickly. I hope that everything comes back unchanged and with nothing to worry about. Of course this is so easy for me to say, you are the one going through this and it must be on your mind all the time. Life after a cancer diagnosis is such a roller coaster accompanied by all the stress.
I also hope that you get these results back very quickly, eight weeks is mind-boggling, and I am not surprised that it seemed like a lifetime.
Please let us know how you get on. I will be thinking of you tomorrow.
Big hug
Irene xx
