Six weeks after Apr surgery Mri results in

Hi budge13

Sorry to hear your husband has to have more investigations. Don’t give yourself a hard time for feeling the impact of the MRI findings as these meetings knock you sideways for a bit until you start to think that it’s a bump to get over .

It is very , very recent surgery and his body will still be adjusting. Hopefully it will have all settled down and the CT scan will bring better news . It is so hard with the lymph nodes as they have their job to do but send us into panic at times in this situation . 

Holding out for good news . Hopefully they are just reacting to recent events .

Take the time you need to adjust to the news and the tidal wave of emotions that follow then you will emerge and find your focus and a way through this .

I think process and her husband had a similar experience.

take care ,

You’re very kind and thoughtful Court, and you always manage to say the right thing and it makes me feel a little  better.

Thank you  

Thanks court for the link to this post,

yes budge13 after my hubbys scans we were told he needed a PET scan as his lymph nodes where  enlarged in the chest area, he then had to see lung consultant who said he wanted to take biopsies but would do so after the pet scan, which he did, when the results of biopsies were back my husband was told it was not cancer but something called  sarcoid like reaction.....he showed us on the scans how it lights us like cancer but is not cancer, it was just the way some people's auto immune system reacts.  There was nothing need for any treatment, he said he would be keeping an eye on any future scans but he hoped we never saw him again, he was lovely and we were very much relieved of course.

i know we were anxious, and we hadn't heard of this condition previously or it's possibility, I hope this helps you, if you also go onto bowel cancer uk forum and type in sarcoid like reaction, there is another lady on there who also had the same thing.

i know it's easy to say  but please try not to worry, good luck and keep us updated, 

warm wishes to you xx

Hi Process, thanks for getting in touch and sharing your experience. I’ll try to hold on to that possibility but tonight it’s a bit too soon but I will google  it.

I’m generally a strong determined woman who refuses to be beaten by anything and he’s still as pragmatic as ever.

The last couple of years have been hard, daughters divorce, child custody case then 12 months cancer diagnosis, and to top it all we’re selling and buying a new house.

Its that thought of loosing him, I know, not the way to think and as Court said, it’ll pass.

But thanks for caring....Budge

Budge, it is tough this cancer trail.....or trial, because I think it is a trial of all the emotions, my husband was diagnosed via screening, no symptoms it came as a shock, and it knocks us sideways and all over the place.

in my profession is that of a counsellor but my emotions have been all over, mind full of all sorts, and little logic. That I know is because the emotion is linked to someone I hold very dear and yes the thoughts of losing him were in my head. That is because we are human and at times very vulnerable and when we get full it is much harder to process those emotions.

it sounds like you have been very full and are still very full, a house move on its own is often enough to push people over.

be kind to yourself, compassionate to yourself, time for you too, I feel sometimes like I'm going to explode or implode.

my husband has just got on with things a day at a time and he has put things out of his mind as best he can, 

i read your profile, you have been together a long time, and so have we, that is because your a team we are a team my hubby and I.

here on the forum we are a team too......supporting each other, it was my turn a few weeks ago I needed that support, and I got it on here.

warm hugs x

Ahh thanks, Process, your kind words much appreciated. Actually his was also picked up through screening, he sailed through it all, chemo, chemo radiotherapy and he was playing golf 3 days before surgery. He’s  made it easy for us all he’s so positive.

I’ll get there, I refuse to give up, ever. I’ll be better tomorrow but thank you.....Budge
