After the bombshell of last week’s colonoscopy news with a nice stricture found, had completion CTC and CT Thorax today. If anyone is worried about a CTC all I can say is it was a breeze and nothing to worry about. Appointment made for next Tuesday to be seen after the MDT for results - nervous and stressed. No one to really talk to this feels a very lonely place at the moment. Set myself some goals regardless of what occurs.
Hi again Nidge58. Yes this waiting period is tough isn’t it? You will honestly feel better once you have the full picture and a plan in place. Setting yourself goals and things to look forward to is a great idea. You know you can always post on here or ring the support team on 0808 808 00 00 if you want to talk - please don’t feel alone.
Take care
