Hello, I had my follow up scan for April 15 th, in the mean time I had a ct scan for another reason, needed ultra sound because of something on my spleen. Consultant phoned me up two weeks ago everything fine. A week later got a call to say they need to do a mri scan on my liver. I received a text message to say I have an mri for pelvic and rectum, for 24 th March. I thought this was for the liver, I assumed that it checked other organs. To day I had another letter for a scan for the 18 th of April yes it’s a Sunday. So I phoned my chemo nurse, she got a bit shirty with me asking me what I didn’t understand. So I explained that about the mri for the 24th I thought was for the liver, she informed me that the 15th of April had been cancelled,. Well I’m not mystic Meg and told her no one had let me know it had been cancelled. She thought it was my clinic date. She then was much nicer and said she would try and get the liver mri brought forward. 5 mins later someone phoned from imaging and asked if I could go in this Sunday for the liver mri at 9.30. I was so glad of this because I don’t have to wait a month. I just keep crying will this, does it get better after the first few scans. I can’t believe on the 15 th of January I got complete response with no residue cancer no metts. I’m just hope it’s not spread. Sorry so long winded.
Hi Nelly1955
It sounds like you've had a great deal of confusion to deal with recently so no wonder you're feeling so tearful. I don't have scans for my type of cancer but I do find that after 4 years of check-ups I'm not nearly as worried about going as I was at first so hopefully things will get better for you too.
I hope the scan went without further hiccups yesterday and do come back and let everyone know how you got on and what your results are when you get them.
