Hi I’m beside myself with worry.  Breast cancer diagnosed Junr 2022, had mastectomy, radiotherapy.  On Letrozole, Abemaciclib and 6 monthly Zometa. 

Have been having hip pain for 8 weeks so my oncologist sent me for an X-ray two weeks ago and a nuclear bone scan last Wednesday.   I’ve just received an appointment with my oncologist in person for 28th August. That will be 5 weeks after my bone scan.  I’m feel I cannot cope with the stress of not knowing the results.  Has anyone had to wait that long for scan results please? and how did you receive them (was it by a letter of appointment).   

  • So pleased to hear your good results. I’m on Abemaciclib too, so I was relieved you haven’t had recurrence whilst taking this drug as it isn’t a pleasant. Enjoy your weekend.

  • HIbby, please don’t think you are being a nuisance, anxiety take a big toll on us. Please be kind to yourself, call the secretary or your cancer nurse. You need the support  one day at a time. Hugs Tili x
