So I finished all my breast cancer treatment sorted the headaches and just had results from the postal Boswell cancer screening they want to see me for more test - to say I can’t believe it is an understatement just when you think everything is good, the bloody happens, I am so worried, surely it can’t be cancer again already it’s only been a year, has anyone else had this
Wishing you all the best. As with all recalls, there are many possible reasons, not just cancer. My husband got a recall from his most recent poo stick test. He had a colonoscopy, which involved a couple of days of low residue diet (no fibre, fruit, veg, terribly boring), a day of fasting / taking laxatives, and then the procedure itself under sedation. His problem turned out to be haemorrhoids.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
