Unbelievable

It’s a case if needs must you’ll find an inner strength. During the waiting phase we watched mind blowing tv box sets anything ti distract. We watched 8 series if game of thrones had ti re watch later as nothing sunk in

Hi Anna Mary

I have had the works with scans, CT, PET, needle biopsies, Xrays and never had them under anaesthetic. They are completely painless. With both the CT and PET they inject you with a dye to show up various parts of your body.  

Sounds like they are doing a very thorough job. It all helps them formulate the treatment you need.

Sending hugs. I do hope you can have a Good Christmas tomorrow and put it out of your mind for the day.

Have a Fabulous Christmas Lynn with your lovely family. Love to all of you here’s to 2023 and you  getting your next phase of treatment completed.

Thank you. I hope your Christmas is everything you want it to be. Tomorrow we are all going to my sister's house for the afternoon. Her husband isn't well, she has only just had a hip replacement last Saturday and my husband is awaiting an operation on his foot. Lord knows what we'll all be like shuffling around. The only healthy ones will be my daughter and her boyfriend. Oh, and four dogs. I've asked my husband to wear his silliest Christmas outfit and there are many to choose from. I'm trying hard to stay positive but as I'm sure you know, sometimes that's easier than others. My last appointment with the consultant was awful. I dread going back. Still, "Sufficient to the day is the evil thereof". Have a wonderful day tomorrow. xx

Here's hoping that you have a wonderful Christmas.  Your description of what your family day may be like made me smile  .  That humour will help you through this. 

I am sure that once the holidays are out the way and you are on your treatment path then all will be much clearer and you will find it easier to cope with the emotional aspects. 

Merry Christmas

Thanks for replying. So many people here are so strong. I hope the nurse practitioner will make things clearer when I see her on 4th January. Then there is the PET scan to be arranged and whatever it may show.

Hi Anna don’t stress about the pet xf scan it’s as much about getting images for the planning as well as checking lymph nodes. Remember head and neck cancers have an excellent response to  treatment.
