Scan Results

Hi ellen93 I know this isn’t the news you were hoping for but please try and focus on ‘small spot’ and ‘treatable and curable’. Have a read of court mums profile and see how well she’s doing now. It’s another hurdle I know but it can be overcome - have a hug and a cry then try and put your positive pants ready for the next round - we’re all here supporting you both

Take care

Hi there - I agree with Kareno62 - focus on the good here and take each day as it comes - be strong for him and positive he needs you to be his rock right now.  My husband every time I have doubt pulls back on my big girl pants and helps me deal with the moment.  Treatable and curable are amazing words - they wouldn’t say them lightly trust me!  

keep strong x

Kareno62 Mizzle88 Thank you both..my hubby isn't a great talker so it's hard yo know sometimes what he is thinking..I think he is pretty devastated to be honest but I know he will step up...I have read alot of positive stories on here as well as Bowel Cancer UK and I think it has reassured him that spots on the liver are very common and people do come out the other side....xx

I refuse to read my results - I know it’s bad as they said contain and control so I don’t need to read it - that’s why I focus on what I can do to help my body cope with chemo instead of the ‘bad stuff’ which has really helped me.  Can you plan a few things to keep him occupied?  A little project?  Mine is to start clearing cupboards and fix up the garden - low energy maximum feel good factor!  Going to be a great weekend for weather too!  Thinking of you x

So sorry to read this ellen93 hard to tell on the internet but sounds like a small tumour burden . It’s amazing how they are treating patients now .

Take the time you both need to find your feet . Then you will shift gear and think in terms of solutions / treatment plans and how best to move forward. You will both strength with a good treatment plan behind you . I hated my mum’s recurrences and that she had more to face . However the robust surveillance has kept her here by nipping things in the Bud whilst they had options .

Speak soon .

Mizzle88courtKareno62 Thank you everybody...Tony has struggled to deal with it all this weekend but I have read him many of your stories and hope he can see that we can do this..I think he is struggling with the fact that he feels life will never he carefree again and that cancer is now our life etc but I hope he will come to see that many people live with cancer as a condition that's needs ongoing treatment but it doesn't have to BE your life...on my part I have felt despair and hope in equal measure...for now we have to get through the scans to determine the extent and anymore spread  which is going to be nerve wracking..my one hope is that as his PET scan was clear in November 21 any other spots will be tiny and treatable...
