Got MRI and CT scans tomorrow. I know it’s good they are so qiuick (diagnosed Monday) but I just want to cry and run away but know I can’t. Just so certain it is going to be the worst news .
Try not to worry, they do the scans to take measurements so they can compare them later down the line to see how the treatment is working. its good they have organised this quickly, its like everything is fast forward when you first find out. try to relax as the stress wont help. once yo have a plan in place it will be easier.
good luck.
That really does sound very quick - & all this intervention will be good for you - as whatever, the results, you will be on a positive treatment plan very soon.
Your feelings right now are very natural, & of course you will be feeling 'it's the worse news.' But often - it's not. if it's Bowel Cancer....it's a very treatable one.
Wishing you all the best

Thank you for the reply Marianne - much appreciated. xxx
That’s really good news. I was the same all scans done within a week just after colonoscopy. It’s great they’re acting quickly Try not to think about the outcome. You won’t get any diagnosis until the MDT have met and have their treatment plan. Least that’s how it was with me.
Take care

Yes that’s the way. I learned to put it to the back. It crept forward but push it back we must. I had quite a wait after my scans. I’m just preparing you for what might happen. The good thing is you’ll have a nurse from your colonoscopy that you can phone to see how things are progressing.
Good luck
Ann
