Hi All
Just a little update .... so I went for my results today and after what felt like an eternity, I am semi pleased to say I have achieved a complete response. I should feel elated but I was then hit with ...... the PET scan has shown a tonsil to be lit ...... so I am now being fast tracked to ENT ..... this feels a little too cruel now ......

I know it’s the last thing you wanted to hear especially as the news is good that you have responded excellently to the treatment. Hold onto that and remember that even if it is something- and it may well not be, it will have been caught SO early and therefore the outcome will be good. Sending you hugs xx
Ah yes thank you, that's very true. Lol I was just like .... com'on ..... enough already! xx
Hi Beckym16798147d congratulations on your complete response so happy for you. Try not to worry about your tonsil ( easier said than done i know ). When i had my PET scan my shoulder and my adrenal gland lit up and they were both fine, but like Dan the man has said it will have been caught early if it is anything. Sending hugs. Xx
Thank you petal that’s reassuring to know ️ xx
Oh Beckym16798147d I am sorry that your complete response (which is wonderful news) has been rather sidelined by this scan, I am sure you must be in utter turmoil. But the good news is that your team are fast tracking you for further investigation (and please remember it might well be nothing) and you will be checked out really quickly.
A cancer diagnosis is cruel, the ongoing rollercoaster is very real and there won't be a person on here that doesn't really feel for you. Everyone will be hoping for the best possible results.
Big hug
