Hi Everyone,
I messaged a few weeks back about my very close friend who has been diagnosed. He has since had a CT scan and then an ultrasound as he is allergic to iodine so the scan could not be performed properly. He went for results today and they couldn’t really tell him much as they need to do a PET scan to have clearer images. He has to wait another 2 weeks for this. The one thing they did say is that the ultra sound shows a shadow on the liver. Like everyone I have gone straight to google and now scared this shadow is showing it has spread to his liver. I just wondered if anyone has had experience with this. The waiting is just awful and now with Christmas coming I am not sure if he will wait longer . Thank you
Hi Butterfly. I don’t have much advice or experience to offer, just solidarity. We are currently waiting on my dad’s pet scan results after him being diagnosed at the beginning of November. The wait is just awful and especially this time of year. I’ve never felt less Christmassy in my life! Some advice I can offer is just try and take each day as it comes. It’s hard not to get stuck on the what ifs but I’ve been trying to just focus on the next immediate step, like the pet scan. Praying for good news for your friend and I hope you both manage to have as good a Christmas as possible x
