Hi. Joined a few days back. I’m 69 and was diagnosed with oesophageal cancer last week. Had PET Scan earlier this week, results due next week.
still upbeat. Not dwelling too much.
I don’t really know what to ask!
I know where I am up to, making no plans beyond next week
Hi . My Dad was diagnosed 2 weeks ago - he’s had a CT scan so far which didn’t show any spread but also the type he has doesn’t always show in CTs so not sure how much confidence to take from that. He’s awaiting a PET scan now too.
Fingers crossed for you that you have more news soon and a plan in place going forward.
Sorry to read this. PET is easy but nothing to eat for 6 hrs beforehand. Only plain water. I have to wait a week for results as it’s very specialised. Hopefully you will know more then. Sending hugs
Any results yet BoaterJill?
Hi Lowedal
sorry for delay, had a major problem with internet!
got PET results yesterday, the good news is that it doesn’t appear to have spread beyond what they already know about.
I see the Surgeon next week and the Oncologist the week after.
a bit of a relief I must say,
how are you?
