3 Month PET Scan

Oh MrsBadass

The dreaded scanxiety - we all go through it, it is part and parcel of a cancer diagnosis but that doesn't mean it is any the easier to cope with, especially waiting until 23rd May for the results - that's really quite a long time.

But on another note, it is lovely to hear from you and I am so impressed with what you have accomplished in the last three months just after treatment,  congratulations on all fronts, the diploma and the job.  And the best of luck in your new venture too, there wasn't anything around like that when I went headlong into menopause having had HRT stopped abruptly, it wasn't an easy time!

I will be keeping everything crossed that your scan is just fine, please let us know how you get on.

Hello there, 

Wow what you have achieved is absolutely amazing well done to you! You should be very proud of yourself. 

I'm in a similar place. Had CT & MRI 3rd April (not pet scan though?) I think its different depending on where you're treated. I get my results 25th April. I'm terrified that I won't get the all clear.... I know they say it can take 6 months but I am hoping for good news. I shift from being really positive to thinking the absolute worse! Hoping this is normal? 

Like you I feel amazing. I'm back doing everything I did before. Went back to work full time 8 weeks after treatment. I do have very stiff hips and back pain but I have physio and am doing yoga and a lot of walking to help. 

Let's hope it's good news for both of us. I too was stage 3 with lymph node 1. Fingers crossed, have a super Easter holiday. 

Sending positive vibes. 

Love and light

Hi Mrs Badass,

Great to hear that you’re doing well and are living life to the full again. Your positive attitude is wonderful and inspiring. Well done for all your achievements and long may they continue.

Of course you are anxious about the scan and the very long wait for the results. Absolutely hoping for a good outcome for you xx

Wow! You're so impressive in all that you have accomplished since treatment. More power to you!

I'm sending you all my best regarding the scan and wish I had words to take away the anxiety. Is it possible to get the results before the oncology appointment? I know it sounds strange, but in the States (where I am), they often release scan and lab results before you see the doctor, so I knew my initial PET scan results before seeing my oncologist. 

Please know I'm rooting for the very best outcome for you and wish you all the best. Xx

You certainly seem to be bouncing back with all you've got! I hope your PET scan results reveal only good news for you... can understand it must feel like going backwards to the limbo land at the start (which is where I am now). I guess it's easier said than done to say try not to dwell on what ifs while you wait for your appointment. Not always possible to banish the thoughts, but sounds like you have lots of positive things going on to try redirect your focus. Good luck xx

Well done on all your amazing achievements in the past few months and for staying so positive..

I understand your feelings now for your scan then the wait.. my 3 month scan is 12th May.. then don't see oncologist until 3rd June.. I had a bit of a meltdown last week thinking what if it's not worked.. but then went fir a walk in the sunshine and reminded myself that no matter what we can get through this. 

Sending lots of love and positive thoughts
