Hi Bud 18
Good to see your name pop up . Think it’s perfectly reasonable to feel anxious about scans. Your working your way back to full health and it takes time . Something I have noticed about my mum . The rest of her health gets gold standard . Everything is thoroughly investigated. I often feel sorry for her but I think it’s part of the process following a cancer diagnosis.
Honestly once in a blue moon you hear bowel cancer turn up in unusual places but most of the time it follows the lymphatic pathways of spread . Common locations . Don’t think I have actually heard of it in someone’s elbow .
Hope that helps .

Hi Court, hope you and your family okay, this covid doesn't help as I still working from home, we are in lockdown so cannot see my girls or parents,
How is your mum coping??? Think about you both alot.
I think I will manage mentally better when I can go to the office and live life xxx
I need to get confidence in myself and my health
Love Bud xxx
Bud 18 I think we are probably underestimating the impact of covid in terms of our social interaction and supports . I joked with my husband that he should have spoken to the Amazon guy for a bit longer as it’s the only socialising he will be getting all day .
So sorry you are not getting to see your family . I am just hoping this vaccine gets a rapid roll out and uptake .
I think covid impacts mum from time to time . I see her dipping a little then she gives herself a bit of a talking to and she bounces back . She is isolating again . I take everything to the door that she needs but don’t go in . We chat in the garage for a few minutes . She is going to do a few more projects to keep her busy .
However she is staying forward thinking as she wants to stay safe and get back out to get a good summer . She is starting to plan .
You will get stronger and stronger . Look at all you have gone through and lockdown on top of it all . Yet here you are wanting to get back to the office and on with life . That is strength in itself .
