Hi Ladies
I hope you are all ok. I have seen a few people asking in threads how I have got on with my second scan results (I can’t find the thread now so writing this)
So, I was waiting 4 weeks for this scan result however week 2 of this waiting process I started showing symptoms. Cut a long story short I was given an emergency appointment, and from there told that the MRI highlighted some abnormalities. From there another PET scan was called for to which it confirmed that yes, it’s back and sadly not curable.
My oncologist has discussed maintenance treatment which I am still trying to get my head round and weigh up the pros and cons so to speak!
Right now I feel beaten, sad and angry all rolled into one. I am awaiting info being sent from the oncologist so I can fully look into the options and decide the right thing to do, that’s if my head can even process it.
Thank you all for kindly asking how I am, sadly it’s not a positive outcome which has broken my heart.

Hi AF55
Thank you. Sorry to hear you are in limbo however feeling well has to be a good sign. I didn’t feel well. From the MRI findings my oncologist wasn’t convinced there was re-occurrence however he called for a PET which confirmed.
You are not far from me, about an hour pending on the bridge and bypass mind you

Jen, in my personal experience, they do not “re stage”. Mine has always been called “recurrent cervical cancer”. So numbers are not something I would focus on. As far as I was concerned, I had stage 2b cervical cancer which came back, and I didn’t find it helpful having people tell me what they considered my “stage number” would be.
I had zero symptoms it was back anyway. Until they told me it was back.

Today has been better I think. I’ve had a couple of moments where it all hit me like a tonne of bricks however I’ve managed to shake it off.
How was your treatment today? I was up at Maggie’s this morning and we took the dog for a walk through the gardens and came out at the oncology dept, I was thinking of you

I hate the word terminal. We are ALL terminal because we will all ultimately die. I get it. I never asked a stage at diagnosis, and it was only the CNS mentioning it after my appointment that gave me that knowledge. I had no idea about stages or anything to do with cancer. It’s just a number and it’s just a word.

Oh, and I lived in Aberdeen for most of my adult live and my youngest daughter went to Abertay! I’m still aScot!
