Have I got cancer again?

Hi Navy Mum I think the fact that you’ve had a clear scan in October is very reassuring and you could maybe chase your CEA results up as 2 weeks seems a long time for a blood test result? 
The tiredness could be down to a number of things? I think this time of year with the dark nights and rubbish weather can lead to a bit of a slump in mood and energy. Do you take any vitamins? My previous doctor insisted all the family took vitamin D especially at this time of year when there isn’t much sunshine. Perhaps your doctor could organise some bload tests for you just to check that you’re not low in anything?

Unfortunately there is always the niggling worry that the cancer might return but I found that each clear scan and blood test pushed it further back in my mind. A lot of people have found this paper helpful?

Lastly the support desk is available on the number below if you want to chat to someone about your worries?

Take care

Thank you Karen for your reassuring and kind words. I have recently moved and my records and results have gone missing lately. I will definitely check with my doctors on Monday. I have liver disease too so maybe it is just a case of everything just needing a check up. I am going to make myself a cuppa and read the link you sent me. Lesley x
