I had my tumor removed in jan this year went through four months of hell with chemo I haven't had a ct scan as yet is that normal?

I have an appointment with my surgeon on 10th of November so perhaps he will arrange it.

I'm worried because other people seemed to have had scans regular.

I don't know I have all sorts going through my head at the moment a scar line that's still playing up and been dressed I keep crying and having thoughts about my cancer feeling down constantly and wondering what's next.

Hi HazG all this waiting is horrendous. I’m waiting for my scan results, I’m getting a call on Wednesday. Unfortunately my cancer is growing back on my colon. I didn’t have surgery last time, I had chemo tablets and radiotheraphy. I have surgery scheduled for 19th November, and iv chemo this time.so fingers crossed for you. My surgeon said because my colonoscopy came back twice with inconclusive so he said it is precancerous. I’ve had anxiety a little while after I got diagnosed. I know what you mean by what next. So everything crossed for you, sending hugs xx

After my chemo finished in dec19,I heard nothing until I followed it up myself by ringing the surgeons secretary.She eventually gave me a follow up appointment with the surgeon in late march 20.I didnt have a follow up scan untill summer 20.so I think regimes differ indifferent areas.

Oh yes I had them but the infusion first then next day took them then a week off before next round .. they didn’t trouble me but the infusion really knocked me out ! I’ve spoken to my onclogist nurse tonight who gave me heads up from scan tiny uptake on my liver hopefully that doesn’t stop my lung resection from going ahead soon but I definitely feel tons better knowing I shall still attend appointment Thursday and then anxiety will start again!! Because even though she’s read scan results out to me my mind still wandering and over thinking it’s rough ride but lovely we are all here for each other x
