Hello, I’m on the last round of chemo at the end of this month. It’s the strangest feeling. They said it’s scans now. 
surgeon said he doesn’t plan on seeing anything as I now have a stoma. No reversal as it was so low down. 
But those scans are my new fear. When does it ever become normal. 
thanks for listening 

  • Hello HelenBK

    Well done getting to this point with your chemo, nearly at the end, you should be very proud of yourself! I hope you have a nice treat lined up for yourself.

    I finished my chemo 3 months ago - it is a strange feeling isn’t it. I had my post chemo scan 6 weeks after finishing and I did have a bit of scanxiety before the results, which were clear, I guess that's likely to be the case for future scans etc. I also have a stoma but am hoping for a reversal at some point.

    I’m not sure if things ever return to the normal we knew before we were diagnosed but I guess we learn to live with the new normal and hopefully as distance opens up between past treatment and scans we get a new perspective and it isn’t as all consuming as it once was. Finger crossed that’s the case.

    Take Care.
