Quick question about jewellery and CT scan

That’s a serious flipping bleeping @@@@@ poop other Words are available in old English. I can’t say I’d not be veering between these 2 emotions younexpressed as that’s one hell of a trip through poor diagnosis - ex teacher no medical knowledge . Well I watch Casualty !!! Sorry I also have a bad sense of humour - gallows I think they call it!!

Sunday CT gawd not sure my local trust do Sunday’s . They struggle to do Monday - Friday

But the good thing in all this poop is someone has believed you and has set the dominos off. Let’s hope this is a brief visit to the site and a gentle or simple answer is forthcoming 

Here is a safe place to be

Gentle hugs

Park the crappity here

Thank you @Leolady56 Yes, a simple answer would be lovely but I'm prepared for the worst. I'm generally a glass half-empty person  - 'cept at the minute it's bone dry 'cos I decided to see if it was true that alcohol enhances painkillers.....seems to be helping.

Owww , you have gone through so much, come out the other side, done all as you are told and moved forward, so to say.

With this comes the experience, the seeming to notice every little twinge and pain - and always wondering the 'what if'.  You took action, you got your GP to listen; all for the hospital to cancel.  You went back to your GP... we all know how hard it is to book appointments due to various reasons, especially fear.  You were brave and did this and like many of us fear and other know 'didn't get listened to' - this is so unfair, we get treated like we a neurotic, obsessed or time wasters - I know there are good GPs that do listen, but, honestly, I believe any person that has gone through BC if there is 'any' issue or area for concern it should be refer as a matter of course.  It only takes one visa to GP to say you are fine you're over reacting to cause that person 'not' to go back at all!!!

So now here you are '4' years on from your initial concerns and finally being looked at and checked over.  '4' years of trying to be heard, '4' years of living with worry - this is so unfair.

It is so not fair and this is why we must keep pushing all the time, we shouldn't have to, but as MooCoo post shows, we have to.  

I pray and hope that your shoulder pain is a side effect from the tamoxifen or osteoarthritis and the swellings are fluid retention/oedema and the hot spots are scar tissue.  

Please keep us updated on whats going on, we are always here for you, together we can get through this.

Thinking of you and sending gently hugs xxx

I am annoying as my glass is full. I kill everyone with kindness and p@@@@ them off with positivity . i like to have a quiet revolution with a jolly smile and a wee gallop Miranda style

But we all fight this poop disease as best we can. There was no manual for it. I am not too sure anyone could ever write one. So someone gave us here 

Sleep well. Dream well

And keep posting

Oh and there are lovely people who struggle with sleep on the Awake thread LondonLass spearheaded it a while ago and has a grand group of Fruit loops keeping one another company in the gremlins hours

Thank you WhatHappened and Leolady56 for your posts. I would have responded to say thank you yesterday but I was so tired and headache-y after the CT scan. (mainly because I threw a little panic attack and stressed myself so much over it! Her: "Do you have asthma or heart trouble?" Me; "No, but now I'm terrified I'm going to have an asthma attack and heart attack as soon as that stuff goes in". Needless to say I didn't but still, very stressful.)  Totally unlike me - I don't normally panic about anything, 

I get the results tomorrow - everything crossed for scar tissue and whatnot. I've already convinced myself that a) it'll be fine and b) it's by far the worst case scenario it could possibly be. I wasn't worried at all before my initial diagnosis in 2005, because I'd believed all the statistics that said how unlikely because of how young I was and that 95% of women having these symptoms will be fine blah blah but they're not working on me this time because I know all too well that there are exceptions to the rules. It's also worse because I know they don't normally move this quickly when it's just nothing and certainly don't waste CT scans on nothing....at least they didn't in 2005. Am I reading too much into this?.....ah, I'm rambling. Sorry. Still, that's five minutes off the "what am I going to do with the rest of this evening" problem.  Thanks for reading/listening and sorry  in advance if this doesn't make much sense. 

They let me keep my rings on, anyway.   

Hi Moo cow.......hope you get your results quickly and they are OK , I understand why you are more worried thitime ,I swallowed all the statistics after my primary .......I am having a ct tomorrow to assess the extent of secondaries.....and I don’t get the results until February.......I shall be in a right state by then !! But I do think in your case 2005 is quite a while ago and standards have changed , so please try not to think they are moving fast because it is bad news .......I hope it isn’t ! X

Thank you Wow - I couldn't imagine waiting that long for results - it would drive me insane. It's bad enough waiting less than a week. I hope everything goes OK for you too. 

All the best for your results tomorrow. Try and get some sleep.

Love
