3 month post treatment scan

Hi Squeak, 

I think the fear and worry is totally understandable. After getting yourself through the hardship of the treatment, of course you're going to be anxious for the result... can imagine it will feel like a very long 3 weeks. Fingers crossed for you! Is there a nurse or your oncologist perhaps that you can discuss these symptoms with? Xx

Thank you for your kind words..

I've spoke to gp who i don't think knew if it was normal or not.. I will speak to oncologist is 3 weeks.. hopefully it will pass quick x 

Hello Squeak,

Yes, I agree this is a nerve-wracking time but try to keep reminding yourself that this is a highly effective treatment, and even if it doesn't show your tumour has gone at this scan, don't worry - it does sometimes take until the six-month scan to show clear. That has happened to many of us here, so try not to stress this too much right now and stay focused on looking after yourself.

I was hyper-sensitive about everything, the slightest twinge, a small itch and I immediately jumped to 'Oh no, it's back!' 

Your body is still healing and forming scar tissue and it takes ages to recover, so the symptoms you have could well just be part of that. If you are really concerned, you could ask your GP to have a look and just make sure nothing is pushing out.

I had discharge for quite a while following treatment and I think that's quite a common symptom from what I have read here.

Good luck for scans on Monday. Stick with this forum, there are some lovely people here who will help and support you  as you recover.

Hi Squeak

The waiting is the worst and what you are feeling is totally normal, we all want that 3 month scan to show its gone. Like Mrs Vanilla has said the treatment is highly successful so hopefully you will get the all clear. Have everything crossed for you. Sending hugs. Xx

Hi Squeak. ,

The anxiety surrounding scans & results (scanxiety) especially in those early days is so traumatic. The way you’re feeling is something all of us that are post treatment can completely sympathise with I’m sure. Regarding the symptoms you’re experiencing it may be something as simple as a bout of inflammation, I had this on & off for quite some time after my treatment. Just to put your mind at rest maybe give your oncologist or if you have one your specialist nurse a quick call.
