On no scan looming

I’m in tomorrow for a PET it’s not the scan it’s my head imaging what images it’s taking.  

We will get there. Like you say we need to have them otherwise we would be worrying about no checks

Good luck 

I’ve just found out that my 6th month scan after my secondary cancer is at the end of March. I’m really freaking out. I don’t think we can ever completely understand how we’re going to react to appontments etc. We need to keep talking and sharing.

I had a CT scan at the end of December, which showed that after 3 months of chemo the lung metastases have shrunk, but due for another scan at the end of March after a further 3 months of chemo. They are looking for a sustained effect of chemo before considering surgery, which is really stressing me out. I haven't seen the thoracic consultant to check if surgery is even an option but I can't even consider the idea that it will not be possible and I'll be up for ongoing chemo. Yes, scans are so stressful!!!

I really feel for you. I consider myself very lucky that I had a liver resection 6 weeks after my diagnosis. I didn’t have to go through any kind of chemo this time. Keeping my fingers crossed for a good outcome for you.

Really , is that an oncologists objective ?

My mum’s surgeon actually did hers with no chemo either side . Mind you he wanted to put her on some research project that observed the growth pattern . Took a bit of persuading given it was the only time she was ever operable without chemo . It’s not easy navigating each specialty !

Hi Artsie - hope your PET went ok

Hi Crumpets or Toast

Yes Twas walk in the park. A lovely radiographer some knitting and a book then a lie down for twenty minutes and off for the best take out burger chips and milkshake in town. Being I was radioactive I ate on the car. 
Now the hard bit. Waiting for those darn results

Well done Artsie  . Hoping it’s a short wait this time . X 

Ha ha thanks Court

I can’t edit my posts anymore so I’m getting loads of errors. Sometimes i delete and write the whole thing again. But reading my post I have an image of me glowing green sitting on top of my car with a take out. Think that’s so much better than what I actually did
