Hi, don’t know if anyone can help, after complete response, no spread. Went to A&E because I have  a large upper abdomen hernia, so I had a ct scan. Found a dot on my spleen. He said it was so small I’ve got to have an ultra sound in a couple of weeks. So head has gone into overdrive. The surgeon is going to get in touch with my oncologist. I got the good news on the 13th of January, and it’s only the 1st of March!

  • Hi 

    To be very honest after 35 scans for my mum we can conclude she has as many lumps and bumps on the inside as she has on the outside . Following a cancer diagnosis you immediately go on the gold standard for any hospital investigation as far as I can interpret. My mum has had checks for breast lumps , kidney aneurysm, lung nodules and vein issues . The list goes on and on . On the other hand we have no idea of the anomalies that may exit in other family members . 
    Initially it was alarming now we accept it as part of a very attentive process that keeps her well . It does cause considerable anxiety going through the process but they will check it out just to be safe .

    Is it your own surgeon who has reviewed the scan or the A and E staff . Given you have had such a recent scan I am sure they would be able to review that quite quickly and put your mind at rest

    All very stressful to be honest but I would get in touch with your team to put your mind at rest .

  • Hi Court thank you for replying, I didn’t see this one up, so I posted again,. I will get the hang of it one day. My doctor was not I n A &E they where in part of the surgical team. I did tell them I had an mri in January, I phoned this morning and they have got me a ultra scan tomorrow instead  of two weeks. They know I’m anxious. If it is a cancer I don’t know what they are going to do, I have a big hernia in my upper stomach. So I’m extremely frightened. Once again Court you always come through thank you. I was in the hospital over 6 hours!

  • Thank you, I know what you mean about the hills.x

  • Thank you Gemmary. I had the scan earlier this morning, the lovely lady says she put it on the system and my doctor will contact me. I did ask the cancer dr she said no my own go. I’m so glad I took Court’’s advice and phoned the cancer centre. So they got me int today for the ultrasound. Hope you are well x

  • Thank yo so much Phoebe21. I’ve read on these posts about a roller coaster. I had a complete response, was trying to let that sink in, started worrying about it coming back  I have my follow up in a couple of weeks. Just waiting for my dr to ring. I can feel my breathing getting faster. They are so good they just say putting it on the system. Hope you are well xx
