Hi to all had operation 27 months ago recovery was good eating well still getting reflux and taking lansoprazole tablets and gaviscon,a few months ago routine blood test led to doctor sending me for chest x-ray then I was called back to see my consultant ,was sent for scan which showed what there was something in abdomen area so was then sent for pet scan then told would have to wait 3 months and then have another scan so they can be compared to see if there have been any changes,hospital have now contacted me to go for blood tests then will have scan in the next few weeks,so as you can imagine I'm very worried just wondering any one else been through this or similar thanks r
Hi Ryss
i can imagine you are extremely concerned about this. It is strange that everyone has to wait for ages for results I often wonder why. I have no idea about this my husband only had his op in September but I hope and pray it will go ok for you and is nothing bad. It’s hard but please try to stay positive else it will pull you down. Take care and good luck.
Really sorry to hear this is happening and obviously really hoping it is all ok. I haven’t had the same but can understand the anxiety, I had my op a year ago but found a lump about 2 months ago in my armpit. I have had scans and tests and fortunately it is just a reacting lymph node although I will now be more closely monitored than I would have been. It’s scary, I just tried to distract myself whenever I was worrying but until you know it is always there.
