Bowel cancer

Hi Darcyolly, they find different things wrong on scans. I also am on statins. When the doc or nurse or anyone talk fast ask them to talk slower, I do all the time(I wear hearing aids) and you want to grasp what is said. Once you know what your treatment is the routine will start bloods, treatment  3 monthly scans and see oncologist for scan results. Try to stay occupied and good luck with your san. Let us no how you get on . Xx

Hi 

thank you . I definitely will . My brain goes to jelly at the moment 

Yep I get jelly brain at times. At the moment I'm laying here counting sheep, just can't get to sleep.  Take care xx

That’s a lot to process . My mum was quite shocked at some of the things her CT scans kept popping up . Whilst it’s better to know , knowing is tough too . 
Priority issues first . I think my mum is on statins too ! She is on beta blockers to slow her blood flow as her arteries in her abdomen are not in great shape from all the treatment . She is not too fond of them but it’s doing the job . 
You will get more equipped at asking for clarification. I think the shock stops you absorbing information at times . 

Hopefully today a decision will be made and that’s the first step towards getting a start at a good plan to pull this all back in .

Its a lot to process by anyone’s standards so be kind to yourself .

Take care ,

Court 

Thank you court

 I just need to see my gp and talk things through. Because the blood thinners will interfere with my other meds 

but I can’t get an appointment 

everything is so hard now 

not sure where I can go to get help 

You too Moi2

hope you managed to sleep xx

That’s awful . I honestly don’t understand why you can not be seen . 

Both my parents had an in person GP visit two days ago  . He just put on a mask , visor and they all sanitised their hands . 

The GP service is such a valuable resource and I don’t know priority patients are not being seen . 

My mum can’t use the blood thinners due to platelet issues . Hopefully once you get a dedicated oncologist this will all improve . They will notify your GP of action areas and that might help your situation . 
take care ,
