This is so true!! Also for blood tests!!

  • I went for my first chemo didn't know what to expect or where I was going got so worked up that I couldn't have it as my blood pressure went high.

    I had 19 tumours removed in March on an emergency, 9 were cancer 10 were not mets on the very edge where they could not go so hence the chemo.

  • So true.

    Though I have not had a scan since last year. Operation August 4th and no scans yet. Meant to have colonoscopy August in my diary. That’ll be a first. I’ve still got Whoopi the Stoma.

    Good luck with blood tests  

    I’m part of some research so my bloods are taken for that  I can fool myself that it’s nothing to worry about  obviously it’s tested as well but I put that to the back of my mind  it’s could denial  I’m good at that ! 

    Take care

  • Oh definitely!

    12 month CT scan for me next week followed by blood tests 2 weeks later.  Scanxiety set in the minute the appointments appeared in the post.

    Good luck to everyone, whatever the worries might be.

  • So true. I've got a yearly colonoscopy check up tomorrow morning and I'm all over the place. Scan 3 weeks after. Here's hoping I can be given another pass. Cheering you all in xx

    It's shit so I'm planting  roses in it.... 
  • Wonder woman.so sorry you felt like that about your chemo.when I had mine the hospital arranged a meeting the week before for all the people starting chemo that week.we were shown the chemo suite.told what to expect and could ask any questions.it made the whole experiance much easier.

    We were also told where we could park if needed and how to get a free parking pass.another worry taken care of.

  •  good luck tomorrow!

    that seems unusual. I went in 2 days before mine started to have a one to one chat, asking questions, given info, and shown round. At least that eased the anxiety on the first day!
