I having just joined this group because of anxiety over results, I am pleased to say My CT and bloods were clear YAY, CT did pick up a chest infection though so just off to get anti-biotics. Thought getting the all clear would make me feel better but hasn't really.Obviously Im relieved, hoping this low feeling will pass very quickly as I am usually a very positive person so it doesn't sit well. Hoping once antibiotics do they're job I`ll feel more like myself.

Hi Sue,

That's wonderful news, congratulations! It must be strange after the journey you've been on, and hopefully it'll sink in soon and you can celebrate once you've recovered from the chest infection

Oh that’s great news . So delighted for you . A lot of people report not having the emotions they expected to feel with a good scan . I think anxiety crawls up slowly at times and can take time to settle again . Also your trust in your own health has been knocked . That takes time to level out again . Each scan takes you further away from this and the good thing about bowel cancer is the less likely you are to recur after two years .

Hope you get the chest infection sorted . I see scans as a necessary evil . Hate them with a passion but so glad they have kept my mum alive . But she has endured over thirty scans and I even now it can bring a range of emotions with them .

You take special care and don’t forget you have been through a lot . Court
