Ct pet scans

Hi Opal, your situation is very similar to mine & it can be a very scary & worrying time waiting for tests, scans & results.

When I received my suspected diagnosis on 4th May, I had a CT scan on my chest, abdomen & pelvic areas within 2 weeks on 18th May & a full body MRI scan within 4 weeks on 1st June. I received the scan results on 11th June which thankfully showed the cancer had NOT spread. I was immediately referred to the Oncology Dept.

I had my 1st oncology apt on 15th June (my 70th birthday) to confirm diagnosis & discuss treatment options. Further tests had to be arranged & I started 4 sessions of chemotherapy on 9th July, I've now had 3 sessions with the last one due on 13th Sept. By 1st week of Oct part one of my journey will be over.

Stay safe, be kind to youself & take great care.

Hi Jen,

Thanks so much for your response. Yes, it really is a very worrying time and I only found out I have cancer on Thursday, so it's all been a lot to take in.

Good luck on your journey with your treatment and thanks for reaching out.

Many Thanks 

Hi Opal, happy to help, & answer any questions you may have. This journey is one that nobody wants to be on, but here we all are, ready to help & support each other.

Jen
