CT scan fear

Hi everyone,

I found out yesterday that the cancer has spread to my lymph node. The consultant said I need a CT scan ‘to be on the safe side’. The nurse said it’s unlikely’ to have spread. However, I have literally never felt fear like this. Every time I see the consultant it seems to be bad news, and I’m so scared to go back in case she tells me it’s spread to somewhere else in my body. I just don’t know how I’d cope with that news.
Can anyone else relate to this???

It is very scary. Because they had to check it all, the whole thing took 8 weeks. It was one of the worst 8 weeks of my life as I felt stuck, and couldn’t move forward, despite having had chemotherapy and then a mastectomy. I was trying to remember how I got through it all. I did have 15 sessions of radiotherapy during that 8 weeks, but basically I was on some kind of treadmill. Be kind to yourself, and try to appreciate the small, but lovely or special things and moments. Keep your sun high and your shadow will be shorter my counsellor said. X
