Tumour removed July 14th 2022, CAPOX chemo started September 21st 2022 why all of a sudden can I not stop thinking about the cancer returning and coming back on my liver… this is literally all im thinking about, I’m not even 2 weeks in to my 6 months of chemo yet…. I know we get CT scanned every year but with liver cancer do you actually get any symptoms, are there signs I should look out for… I’m defo going to see if I can speak to someone about these thoughts, I see my oncologist October 12th hopefully she will be able to suggest something.
I am sorry about this post, I just had to tell someone how I feel
Thanks again

I’ve been shown my scan images at appointments-I was asked if I wanted to see them, and on 2 occasions I said yes.

Jay doesn't get offered to see his, so we don't know if it's a choice thing if you want to see them or they want to show you them
.
I was offered once to see what damage my pulmonary embolism had done and once to compare the difference in my tumour from start of treatment to when treatment ended. I’m sure I’d have been shown others if I’d asked. Not everyone wants to see them-it’s a personal choice, but you are certainly entitled to see them.

Hi Faloola.
Yes in my case it was worse than 1st one shared, but they may have had their reasons. Maybe they felt i was new to this and needed in small doses. Or they missed things - who knows.
I agree with others - it is defo a personal choice thing. I like information as it helps me make informed choice but also gives me ability to chase up mistakes. The healthcare system is not faultless, so if i can help track my own case surely it's win win in my option.
If you can, try not to assume worst case - and do ask questions to the nurse or oncologist until you feel you have the right answers.
Good luck and sending positive hug
