Pet Scan results no so reassuring: Pelvic or colon nodule?

Hello, I’m really sorry to read this. I understand why you are hesitant to share this with friends - I would be the same,  I know. But I’m glad that you have shared it with us. There are always several kind souls on here who seem to know just the right thing to say. And you can come on here as many times as you feel necessary, so you are not completely alone, although it sure does feel like it when these dreadful things happen. It feels like mental torture sometimes. I’m sure that someone else will come on with some wise words soon. Xx

Oh that's not a good way to hear news like that. I can't believe you had to be the one to make contact. Such a lot to deal with. I'm waiting for my MRI spine result. Some say no news is good news that's so not true. 

Hopefully whatever it is is easily treatable and can be got rid of for you.  I don't know what else to say, I don't know what my result will be yet.  Be kind to yourself, do what you enjoy if you cain self care I mean. Hug for you Wildbreast , healing and hope. I've met so many on this journey through the Macmillan centre, we all have something in common the desire and will to keep going, do whatever is needed to achieve it. Xxx

Hi Wildbreast,

Breast cancer is a roller coaster of emotions. I’m sorry you have been worried by the results of your ct scan, but they have found an area they want to investigate further, this doesn’t mean your breast cancer has spread but it needs to be checked out. I hope further investigation can happen soon as the anxiety of the unknown is awful. To the best of my knowledge (which is limited) the most common sites for metastasis from breast cancer is the bones, liver, lungs and brain. 
I understand you don’t  feel able to share your health concerns, I would probably feel the same, but my cancer diagnosis has been made easier by the support of those around me. Wishing you strength to get through this difficult waiting period. Sending a virtual embrace.

Hi WildBreast

Sorry to hear that your PET Scan showed up an area of concern.  Hopefully it will turn out to be nothing serious.

Best wishes

My dear all,

Tomorrow is the day I will see the oncologist face-to-face. There isn’t enough diazepam to make me less worried. I have made a 4-page Word document, with complaints, concerns, and other comments plus questions.

• Why the contrast CT scan from August did not show any abnormality in my bowel?
• What does the PET-CT scan show?
• Does the cellular activity or whatever that appears in there, present any signs of malignancy or just a possible abnormality? It is related to BC? What size it is?
• What are your thoughts about the findings of the report?
• How many cases as this have you seen?
• I would like you to explain the report to me fully and thoroughly and a copy too.
• When am I going to have the tests? As you must know I have missed a colonoscopy appointment bcs of the negligence and failure to communicate to me the results.
• Why do I need to have to wait or do a FOI request to have tests that belong to me?

If any of you have a similar situation with possible colon mets or whatever it is, I would like to read about it.

Hope I can find something narcotic enough on Netflix or similar streaming platforms.

Thanks for your help and support a very crazy and anxious W.B

Not in your situation but empathising with your frustration. I hope you get proper full answers. It is so difficult to fight your corner when you most need the energy and resilience to do so. Make them provide written answers and if possible take someone along for support. Half of my diagnosis would have been missed/left untreated had she not asked proper questions. Very good luck xxx

Best of luck with your appointment tomorrow and I hope you get the answers you are looking for.
